Kitlin Fishtaker created and rules all creatures of land and sea. He made the creatures in his likeness, and he is as feral and merciless as they. Still, in the furious cycle of predator and prey, there resides a natural harmony that also embodies the Fisher King. He is thus as fierce as a lion when dealing with Chaos and as innocent as a doe when dealing with Order. Needless to say, Kitlin Fishtaker is as much feared as he is loved. Because he represents the eternal cycle of nature, he has become a symbol of eternal life beyond the world.   Son of Malleus the Hammer and Mesalax the Midwife, Kitlin Fishtaker is Kijo the Blade's younger twin. Together with his brother and father, the Sea Lord established the Knights of Solamnia, creating the Order of the Crown to champion his ways.   Hale and hearty, Kitlin Fishtaker is always immersed in and obsessed with the present moment. This obsession makes him carefree and noisome one moment and predatory and silent the next. Some confuse this latter aspect with cruelty or evil, but the Fisher King unfailingly acts for good and Order. Just as he allows a hungry tribe of plainsmen to bring down a fattened buck, so too, Kitlin does not flinch from other violent acts for the purpose of good.   Kitlin Fishtaker, as Maleus' son and Kijo's brother, wants to heal the scars on Ansalon itself, trying to reverse the damage done during the War of the Lance. To this end, he works with the neutral gods of nature. Because Kitlin founded the Knights of the Crown, their quests often help nature. In addition, he works to keep the evil sea queen Bhezomiax the Maelstrom at bay.  

Duties of the Priesthood

Priests of Kitlin Fishtaker fiercely protect nature from those who would destroy or squander it. In many ways, these priests resemble the heathen druids who also pay homage to this god.   Once during their lifetime, a priest of The Fisher King must leave friends and community to wander the land, taking nothing but a walking stick and the clothes they wear. This time purifies the priest and teaches them the true ways of nature. The time ends when the priest has either done a great service for their god (usually protecting or restoring nature from a terrible threat), or The Sea Lord sends a sign.
