Skerrit

Skerrit was the god of the centaurs and satyrs who venerated neutrality, symbolic of the guiding, harmony-bringing hand of the forces of nature. The Forest Walker was the hunter and protector of the sylvan lands, watching over the woodland communities and always aspiring to maintain the natural balance Skerrit was a benevolent, compassionate, and merciful deity, but nevertheless a strong and skilled hunter and protector. He maintained the equilibrium in the forests, allowing all forest creatures to fulfill their natural roles; he fed the hunted and granted the hunters their prey His realm consisted of a series of interconnected grasslands, meadows, and glades where Skerrit was served by spirits of centaurs and satyrs. The realm was nestled amid the temperate forests in the foothills of Krigala's peaks. It was defined by secluded pastures, communal close-knit relationship, and respect for the balance of nature, a utopian existence for centaurs. Skerrit's peaceful realm was protected by the deity himself and often was visited by Fionnghuala, the deity of the swanmays, Emmantiensien of the treants, and Eachthighern, the protector of unicorns and pegasi.   Skerrit worked with the sylvan deities as the guardian of these borderlands, and in turn they provided the centaurs with faerie gifts and magic to defend their homes when needed.   Similarly to centaurs, satyrs hosted ceremonies dedicated to Hunter in the Green monthly, illuminated by the full-moon and blazing campfires. Many satyr communities, sometimes up to a dozen groups, assembled in secluded groves to participate in mock hunts, wrestling contests, and retellings of Skerrit's hunting legends followed by a feast. The winners of these ritualistic contests were granted the title of Hunters and proudly held them unto the following month's gathering
