Tharion god of Horses
Tharion is an ancient god who once roamed the untamed lands of Novakuzran before the rise of the Hugo Dynasty. Created by Mardros, goddess of Nature herself to safeguard the wild plains and valleys, Tharion was originally a mortal centaur who ascended to godhood through devotion and heroic deeds. Since the establishment of the Hugo reign, Tharion has largely vanished from mortal knowledge, with only a few in the Southern District remembering tales of the Rolling Plains and their wild protector.
