Pachio

The Behemoth of Wood.

Depictions
Pachio's followers, following the nature of the behemoth as a shapeshifter and a beast, depict Pachio in many ways, the most popular of which involving a lion's face, rounded ears like a dwarf, and a pair of three-pronged antlers. Often, however, each individual artist often selects traits for Pachio, mostly based on the demographic of the area. No matter the imagery of choice, Pachio always has unruly long hair, a pair of wide, feline eyes, and four circular markings creating the corners of a box around the behemoth's eyes when viewed from the front, and a thick canine tail. Usually, claws and exposed teeth are also present, cloven hooves for feet almost always.

Non-Pachions prefer a less superfluous representation of the behemoth, using a sartyr with a lion's head, with antlers and long hair. Though still easily recognizable as the behemoth, Pachions find it in poor taste to give their fluid god a solid form.

The Five Pillars
The Five Pillars serve as a governing body in any long-existing group of Pachions, as jury for trial, and for guidance as a group. Any individual chosen as a pillar and accepted through sacred religious rites is forbidden from romantic interaction, moving cities, or changing their affiliations, unless they should lose pillar status. Losing this position usually requires death, but small groups (controversially) permit the pillar to pass on their position. There are five pillars:

Faith - usually a high priest or priestess of the church, a spiritual guide for troubled times and difficult decisions for individuals.

Protection - usually someone like a captain of the guard, generally a strong warrior who is strong enough to shoulder threats against the group

Magic - a good mage, must be able to at least sort of speak with spirits and counter other magics

Community - usually just someone everyone likes, a common person who represents sort of the general person and the voice of the common people

Memory - a record keeper, usually also the person who keeps track of genealogy, marriage, guild registration and store registration

Trivia
