Followers Of Merak

Merak is the god of the hunt. He is portrayed as a one-eyed bear. He is trapped in an endless state of hunger, always needing to hunt, always needing to kill. He cares much for his followers. It is said that every 100 years Merak ascends down to Rathnir and begins his feast, this event is referred to as "The hunter's feast".
A common folktale is that Merak lost his eye in a bet to the Immortal Rat king. The Rat King declared a competition on the day of The hunters feast. He proposed that whoever could bring back the most bones would be victorious, whilst the loser would lose half of their vision. The rat king of course cheated and stole all his bones from a burial ground. Merak pursued all of his subjects, ripped them to pieces, and took the bones fair and square. once they returned, The rat king had more bones. The rat king gouged out Merak's left eye and took it as a prize.
Merak requests offerings of livestock and raw meat, so he may satiate his hunger until the next feast.
