Lore: God of the hunt among the elves. Ceryn is both the beast, and the hunter, watching over the constant struggle of both to survive, and the respect the victor shows to the fallen at the end of the hunt.

Ceryn was born a very powerful Fey, with an ever-changing form, between Fey and animal. They would shift aspects of their body to different animal parts to fit their hunt best. Ever since their creation, they have been prowling the First World as part of the Wild Hunt, hunting different beasts and prey, eventually growing bored of the ever-changing world they were a part of.

When they saw Ayael bringing fey to the material plane, they followed, intrigued by what she might do. After seeing her push fey to mix their nature with mortals and create the elves, they were very intrigued and curious about it and decided to follow these newborns. It wasn’t long before the elves were abandoned by their parents, and Ceryn took them under their wing to teach them how to survive in this new wild world. Seeing as they had no claws or fangs, Ceryn taught them the way of the bow and the knobkerrie, teaching them how to take from nature but only taking what they needed. They also taught them to respect nature and always give and take, not only take from it, to keep the balance.

Ceryn has a very strong connection with the wild hunt to the point that it’s thought that she may have even been a monarch of the hunt at one point. Her forming seemingly shifting and change upon each different encounter.

After taking care of the Elves for so long, Ceryn started to want to impart their essence into this wonderful world. Thus, they also mixed their essence with mortals and animals, mixing the two together, which gave the world the first Rougarous, but also the first Lycanthropes, which in turn eventually diluted to Skinwalkers.
