Divine Domains
Cirb is can be counted as a minor god of protection. His natural radiant personality has always caused him to be a natural enemy of both devils, demons and undead.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
The king of sheep only has a small personal following among the mortal creatures of this realm and most of his worshipping is done through the temple of Brigid. If people whish for his protection they will often simply put a depiction of a ram by the door. This can range from stone statues, to simple drawings, or small wooden carvings as decoration on the doorway.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
As a king, Cirb wishes for his kin to live peaceful lives. As a god, he's mainly focused on getting delicious offerings of fresh vegetables and bread.
Physical Description
Body Features
Cirb is an absolutely massive sheep, especially when placed beside a normal sheep or goat. From the ground to the top of his black horns he's roughly 2,4 meters (8 feet).
His wool is superiority thick and soft. It is heavily infused with Cirb's protective magic which can be preserved for garments after the wool has been spun. However, doing so successfully requires extraordinary skill. A more even threat enables the magic within to flow better which is the most important condition to utilise the wool's power.

Identifying Characteristics

He also has aqua-coloured eyes, black horns curling around his ears and black hooves. The parts of his body that aren't covered in shimmering wool have a light-brown/blond fur instead.

Apparel & Accessories
He has a blue ribbon around his neck with two golden bells named Chan and Hlopka. They were likely used by Brigid to keep track of him way back when he was still a lamb.
These bells have been worn by him for such a long time that the pair adopted part of his abilities. Cirb himself barely notices their presence but does attach some value to them.
Chan's use is mainly as a defensive item while Hlopka reflects Cirb's Evil ward ability. If the two bells are worn together they strengthen each other.

Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
He's MALE okay? it doesn't matter that Brigid had him helped. He's 100% a handsome MALE RAM!!!
Employment
He's the king of sheep which honestly already is a full-time job. When Cailleach went on a rampage in hell because her sweater was stolen, and consequently nearly caused an ice age, he was more concerned with guiding his stranded subject to safety than figuring out what was going on. Hence, he only realised why Cailleach was fussing about when a group of adventurers came to find him.
His top priority, without fail, is to help his kin wherever he can without upsetting the balance of nature. Yet he still has time to work part-time as an oracle and can even be considered a small-time protection deity.

Accomplishments & Achievements
Cirb has lived thousands of years and seen many things. His biggest accomplishment in all that time is that he has learned all the major old languages. He's currently working on the 'modern' languages in the mortal realm.
Intellectual Characteristics
He's very good with languages, not so much with numbers. He wouldn't be able to tell if something is 5 or 500.
Taboos
Don't mention his junk or he will consider you to have harmful intentions and punish your transgression against the King of goats and sheep.
It is also better not to mention anything about horses. Especially if your words could be vaguely interpreted as praising the beasts. Cirb finds them to be stuck-up and over appreciated by mortals.
What's so great about them? Can they produce soft materials for clothes yearly? No. Climb a mountain? Certainly not. Grow beautiful horns? Nope. They can't even properly digest their meals!
Cirb, the castrated ram owned by the goddess Brigid, is the king of sheep... of ALL sheep. His wool is said to be magical and clothes made from it protect its wearer from evil. Cirb is also capable of speech between sunset and dawn and can see glimpses of the future.

Such a fun creature! I love the idea of this somewhat divine creature who only cares for helping his kin, learning languages, and eating tasty veggies. I am a tad confused about his divinity status: in some places, he is referred to as a minor god, others as an honorary minor god, others as the king... The confusion is compounded with him being CR 4 only. Also, who gave him the bells? Was it Brigid? Does he like the bells? Does he even realize they are there? How does he feel about the bells?
I can see how his status is confussing. It basically comes down to mortals trying to classify a divine being that really has no reason to be classified.
First and foremost he'll always be the King of sheep, that's the only undisputed thing. His status as a god depends on who you ask really. Some will say he should only be classified as an honorary minor god due to his association with Brigid but having no mentionable following of his own.
Others will try to argue he's definitely a full-fledged minor god due to his undisputed strength when put up against fiends and undead. The bells were probably a gift from Brigid, but he's had them for ages so who knows. He doesn't even notice them being there anymore but does value them. I'll send my players to retrieve one of his bells from a town when summer comes around.
It was lost during winter and picked up by a traveller when the snow melted. And now, for the CR4 thing, that is as strong as I dared to make him when put up against a party of lvl1 and lvl2. I am still working on making his actual god stat block but I'm struggling with integrating the varying strength of his [I]Evil ward reaction depending on his opponents level.
Ps. thank you for the comment! I didn't expect someone to actually give the extra articles a thorough read. ^.^
Yeah, gods having stats is always gonna be a tricky thing. What level are your players now? It's really cool that they will get to revisit the site of their first quest again on a different thing.
uh... lvl 1. We've had two sessions so it's going to be a while. The winter goddess's sweater was their introductory session. For now, it's just some small missions here and there and exploring Northbark.
