Eoj

Eoj : The Beastmaster, God of Hairy Beasts

Eoj is a ragefilled, primal, but calculated deity with dominion over the furry/hairy beasts of the land. He creates all of the animals of that nature that roam the lands of his plane of influence in the material world. Along with his duties as a creator deity, he also is thought of as being responsible for a bountiful or disasterous hunt. The Beast Deity has been depicted as a towering goliath with the hooved feet, the legs of hound, torso of a bear, apelike arms and hands, the head of a maned lion, and serious antlers pertruding from his head.

After supplying animals to other planes as favors to other deities for so long, Eoj decided he wanted to give sentience to his own race. On this new plane to spread his creations he would possess the body of an Ape, a Hound, and a Feline. When he happened upon a woman he would stalk her and eventually 'rape' her. In time the women would give birth to anthropomorphic babies, their blood would be pumping with that of the deity as well. The children forced to hide in exile, eventually finding eachother through signs from Eoj. The three children, Feline (Female), Ape (Male), and Hound (Male) would be raised alongside one another in a remote area of a jungle region in the material plane. The area would be unexplored by the mortals of the plane.

The new demideities would be given the task to populate their races and found their Tri-City in the very jungle they were raised. The Ape and Hound went to work much like their father by abducting women and impregnating them to their cause, the Feline would take a different angle buy convincing down on their luck vagrants to serve her and worship her father. In exchange for this, Eoj granted a beastial magic (Druidic/Mechanics) these mortal converters. The Feline's brothers would soon follow in her footsteps with this tactic to swell their numbers quickly and covertly. The gift of Eoj would allow each mortal to take one of three shapes, their mortal shape, the shape of the beast in which they serve, and werebeast combination of the two.

Over the next couple centuries, their pressence would become known and the number of species had spread from the jungle city. The Eojian Clans continue to spread and recruit mortals to their way of life.

(May have siblings of Reptilian and Avian make up)

(The names of the children and subraces could be discussed as a nation of clans)
