Qooring

Overview
Closely associated with rare primal magic and the protection of dark elf civilization from the beasts of Vrahn and the Darklands to its south, Qooring is a lesser dark elf god with a no less vital role. Sevicara's chief auxiliary, Qooring has found himself largely ignored as she pursues her true passion, Zalhara. Taking to the wilds, he and his followers hunt the most dangerous and powerful creatures the world has to offer or protect travelers as they journey between the isolated cities of the Vrahn Queendom.

Appearance
Patron of the poor, Qooring adopts the uniform of the dark elf ignoble—plain cotton clothing and leather armors. His hair shorn short to prevent interference in his work, he is the very image of a common hunter or laborer among the dark elves.

Divine Mission
Born centuries ago from the prayers and rituals of travelers and merchants, Qooring walks the Cosmic Disk more often than most. Meeting a strange, heavily-armed man on the desert roads is a sure sign that either one of his rare followers, a patron of his, or Qooring himself have granted you protection—yet such companions do not appear unless trouble is imminent, and such hunters have become signs of bad luck.

Religion
Qooring is tasked with the protection of travelers, merchants, and all those who use roads or find themselves lost in the wilderness, save for those bandits and highwaymen preying upon the same. Most dark elves who travel often carry an amulet in the shape of a crossbow and give prayers and burnt offerings to Qooring at both dawn and dusk.

While his followers are few, they are some of the hardiest and hardest men in dark elf culture. Fleeing the repressive atmosphere of the cities and their lack of opportunity, they take to the wild and pledge themselves to his will and enter under his protection. These blessings often accompany access to divine or primal magic, becoming rangers, scouts, druids, or clerics.

Afterlife
Bound to Sevicara and with no realm of his own, Qooring and his immortal rangers guard the walls and halls of Crolshka, doing battle with any who would come to claim its innocent inhabitants.

Magic Properties
Carved from sand, shadow, tooth, and claw, Qooring's magic is as primal as it is powerful. While lesser among the dark elves and ignored by his patron wife, he accesses an otherwise-untapped source of power in the desert and shadowlands, making the god of travelers and the hunt an oft-underestimated force to be reckoned with.
