Skerrit

Skerrit

The Forester, the Hoofed Lord. N Lesser power of centaurs, community, natural balance [He/Him]

Pantheon: Sylvan

Symbol: An oak growing from an acorn

Realm: Beastlands / Krigala / Skerrit’s Glade

The patron of centaurs, Skerrit (pronounced SCARE-it) is a protector of communities that reside deep within sylvan lands. A sometime-ally of the Seelie Court, he is kind but private and willing to use violence to protect the lands of his people. Skerrit’s Glade on Krigala is hidden within a pristine forest at the foot of a mountain. Tranquil and serene, with lush sweet grass around the huge ring of ancient oak trees where the faithful hold court, Skerrit’s Glade is a place of healing and welcome—briefly, for both the god and his followers prefer their privacy. Near the glade can be found the small divine realms of the centaur demipowers Brilos, Fanthros, Linroth, and Naharra.
