Vadaszat, God of the Hunt
The greatest terror in the world is that of the mouse that hides from a prowling cat. The greatest satisfaction in the world belongs to the cat with bloody fangs.- Druidic saying

Artifacts
Vadaszat's followers endlessly seek out weapons of great power called the Hunter's Teeth, magical daggers that are said to be found inside of particularly hard to kill creatures.
Those that have drawn the favor of Vadaszat are sometimes taken to the Hunting Grounds and given a drink from the Fountain of Predators, which turns them into a new kind of were-beast.
Holy Books & Codes
Kill or Be Killed is the only known text sacred to the followers of Vadaszat. It was written down first by Tentiel the Wanderer, who found the words clawed into the walls of a sandstone cave deep in the Giant's Spine. It appears to have been an autobiographical account from one of the first survivors of Vadaszat's Red Hunt, the first werewolf Ashilva, which would place the carvings as nearly twelve thousand years old when they were found. The story of her life is full of maxims about the importance of the hunt, of becoming the predator that you might not be prey, and a surprisingly in-depth monologue about the morality of killing mortals. It is from this text that several Vadaszat cultists derive the idea that there is no glory in hunting those that are too weak to pose a threat.
