Thyren is the revered deity of the centaurs of Sirkith, embodying the boundless freedom of the open plains, the fury of the storm, and the ever-moving spirit of nature. He is depicted as a dark, towering stallion wreathed in wind and lightning, with hooves that spark fire upon the ground and eyes that reflect the vast sky. Thyren is both a bringer of chaos and a protector of the wild, teaching his followers to embrace the untamed nature of existence and never let themselves be chained by fear or stagnation.
“No chain may bind the wind, no bridle tame the storm.”
“A road is made only by the hooves that tread it.”
“The horizon is not a limit; it is a call.”
“Run with the storm, or be trampled beneath it.”
Aspects of Thyren
Freedom & Motion: To stand still is to wither; to move is to live. Thyren’s centaur followers believe that life should be a constant journey, whether through the land or through personal growth. Storm & Wrath: Like the thunder that rolls across the plains, Thyren’s rage is both terrifying and purifying. He is called upon in times of battle, his strength surging through warriors who invoke his name. Horizon & Fate: Thyren teaches that destiny is not a fixed path but a road that must be galloped upon. Every traveller must forge their own way, unafraid of what lies beyond the next ridge. The Wild Balance: While storms bring destruction, they also nourish the earth. Thyren's followers understand that nature is both cruel and kind, and they strive to live in harmony with its cycles.Worship & Rituals
The Great Stampede: A sacred race is held during the changing of the seasons, where centaurs run as fast as they can across the plains, calling Thyren’s name to feel his wild spirit within them. The Thunder Hunt: When a centaur warrior seeks Thyren’s blessing before battle, they ride into the heart of a raging storm, proving their worth by facing the elements head-on. The Skyfire Offering: During particularly violent storms, centaurs will gather on high ground and light great pyres, offering sacred herbs and carved wooden idols to Thyren, believing that the rising smoke will carry their prayers to him. The Horizon Oath: A rite of passage for young centaurs, where they must ride beyond the lands they know and return only when they have discovered something new—be it a place, a truth, or a lesson about themselves.Sacred Places
The Endless Run: A vast, ever-windy plain that no centaur has ever fully explored. It is said that Thyren’s hooves still thunder across the grasslands, and those who run with the wind may hear his voice. Stormcrest Summit: A jagged mountaintop where lightning strikes frequently. Many centaur shamans come here to receive visions, believing the storm itself carries Thyren’s wisdom. The Tempest Hollow: A deep canyon where the echoes of galloping hooves can always be heard. Some say it is where fallen warriors ride forever, their spirits joining Thyren in his eternal charge.Philosophy of Thyren’s Followers
