Aragh, the Wolf, patron Saint of Survival and the Hunt

Be you hunter or hunted, the chase always reveals the strength hidden within.

Aragh is the Saint of the Hunt, of survivalists and hunters of all types. He is not a follower of Druathos; he cares not for the sanctity of nature or the balance between the mortal and natural worlds. His is the domain of mortal against wilderness, of pitting yourself against the wilds and seeing whether you come out the victor. Whether it be hunting great beasts, escaping the pursuit of a dire predator, or surviving in the wild despite injury or loss of supplies, folk who seek the strength and cunning to overcome such challenges whisper prayers for Aragh’s favor.

Images & Symbols

• Five arrowheads arranged in the shape of a wolf’s paw-print
• A wolf’s head fashioned of leaves, grasses, and branches, with glowing red eyes
• A dagger or spear fashioned entirely of bone, sinew, and ivory (preferably a predator’s tooth)

Appearance

Aragh appears as a great wolf, standing taller than a man at the shoulder, fashioned out of either plant material fitting the surrounding biome or pure black shadow, depending on whether he’s dealing with supplicants or enemies. His Green Wolf form is a majestic Spirit of nature, while his Shadow Wolf form is said to be terrifying in battle and the hunt.

Blessing

When a Mystic of Vallaros performs the Blessing Of The Divine ritual, they can choose to grant Aragh’s blessing upon the target:

Blessing of Aragh

You feel a drive to hunt and to survive. This manifests in different forms depending on the person, from the deep patience of an ambush predator, to the instinct to chase whenever someone or something runs away, to the dogged determination of a scent hound on a trail. However it manifests for you, you feel a powerful sense of focus and purpose while you are hunting your quarry.
