The God Ehahzuban

The Lord of Tricks Ehahzuban

The lord of tricks, the sudden upset of luck and the cunning of the long game, the survivor's ally, friend, and enemy, the honest capriciousness, who takes the form of an ox-sized raccoon with six fingers to a hand and galaxy-filled eyes; They are the gentlest of all the gods, being kind to those who rely on less straightforward means of survival.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

To bring a little bit of chaos to every orderly system, a little bit of upset to the inevitable, a little bit of hope in despair or doubt in certainty

Physical Description

Body Features

A well-fed -- even fat -- raccoon with typical fur patterns and body confirmation, but roughly the size of a house. They have six fingers on each hand, and their eyes are dark blue, deeper than they should be, and filled with patterns of glowing white galaxies.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Ehahzuban has a thousand stories about how they came to be - who can say if any of them are true? Perhaps they really were born when a raccoon played a trick on a mountain so marvelous that the mountain itself blessed the raccoon to turn it into a god. Perhaps they actually stole a bit of power from the stars and ate it so as to gain the stars' secrets. Perhaps they were born the first time someone won a battle through trickery. Perhaps a thousand things happened -- or none of them!

Morality & Philosophy

Ehahzuban is the power present every time a life is saved by total accident - a deer run over a frozen stream and the predator chasing it goes through the ice, or a freak avalanche diverts the course of a flood and saves a village. They are also the power present every time a life is taken by total accident - a foraging bear steals the food pack and a traveler starves, or a mountain climber's rope snaps. Not a particular powerful power, but it is ever-present, just waiting in between moments to change the tide of a war or the course of a day. Not malicious or cruel, not predisposed towards harm, but the touch of chaos is present in even the most well-ordered of things.
