The Ferocious Talon

Malar (MAHL-arr), the Beastlord, is the lesser deity of the hunt, evil lycanthropes, bestial savagery and bloodlust. He is concerned with savage hunts, the spreading of the curse of lycanthropy and general contempt for civilization. As of the events of the Spellplague, he is an exarch to Silvanus Worshippers Malarites believe that it is honor to Malar if you make your killing bloody and long. His followers sometimes form in bands, called Hunts. While being forbade from slaying the young or the pregnant, Hunts typically follow his dogma and evoke wanton slaughter in Malar’s name. Malarites are generally frowned upon by civilization, as they tend to wreak havoc in their wake. One exception of where the worship of Malar is allowed, is in Cormyr.
One of the most respected servants of Malar was Garmos Saernclaws, who is responsible for the gospel of Saernclaws by which all priests of Malar are bound, ensuring that hunts remain clean and disease-free.
Holy Days High Hunt This ritual is a vicious hunt in which a captured humanoid is released, and for the next day and night attempts to escape the prowling worshipers of the Beastlord. If he manages to survive, he wins his freedom as well as, perhaps, other things.
Feast of Stags This day has made Malar’s worship more tolerable in certain areas. During the harsh winters in the northern parts of Faerûn, Hunts will choose a village in the wilderness, providing food for the people, with one or two Malarites pledging themselves to keeping the village fed through the snows.

The Ferocious Talon is a cult that worships Malar, God of the Hunt, wearing the mark of a bears claw on all of their robes and gear. This specific group are more cultists than druids which are what you would usually find as a group of this religion, commonly fighting each other. this cult wanting to directly become part of the true religion and are showing their will to become lycanthropes by killing as many as they can, in the bloodiest ways possible. People with the most brutal kills are enthralled by an unknown Patreon.

Survival of the fittest and the winnowing of the weak are Malar’s legacy. A brutal, bloody death or kill has great meaning. The crux of life is the challenge between the hunter and the prey, the determination of who lives or dies. View every import
