Kyøl

Kyøl is one of the most integral deities of Rothränji culture. It is he who oversees the hunt and he whom initially blessed the Rothränji with the skill, strength and intelligence necessary to feed their families despite the poor soil conditions of their homeland. Rothränji øvii describe Kyøl as a massive two headed shark capable of swallowing even the largest of whales whole.
It is widely believed that the annual hunts that allow the tribe to sustain itself would end in failure if the hunters were to fall out of Kyøl's favour and Rothrän hunters wholly refuse to take to the waters without he and his comrades first paying homage to Kyøl. It is customary for these hunters to also offer up the heart of the animals they slay to the mighty twin-headed shark.
Furthermore Kyøl is venerated in large rituals at the advent of spring each year in order for the hunters to receive his blessing once more. As such the availability of Rothränji prey is believed to be the due to the strength of their blessing and should their prey ever be scarce it is a sign that Kyøl's favour is waning.
