==Description==
A highly competitive deity, Rahli is a muscular female Centaur with a long braid of hair that is often trailing in the wind when she is hunting or running.  She carries her longbow and challenges all who would try to contests of accuracy, skill, and speed.  She often paints herself in woads, especially when she’s on the hunt.  Athletes and archers all over Brysinia revere Rahli for her athleticism and skill with a bow while scouts and hunters everywhere venerate her ability in creating traps and bringing down the prize.
==Basic Beliefs & Dogma==
Keep your bows handy and practice often.  Keep vigil at all times to safe guard the tribe.  Skill and speed are paramount to all else for success.  Set traps for your prey and the unwary, this can help diminish your mistakes.  Compete with others and strive to match their skills; this will keep you strong and make you continue to improve.  As a deity, Rahli is worshiped largely by athletes, hunters, and Centaurs.  The Centaurs especially revere her and follow her teachings as a method of continual survival and archers from many nations around come to Finturi when the tribes gather once a year at summer solstice to compete and try their skills with the best on the continent.  Rahli insists vigorously that her followers compete often to keep their skills honed and to practice in the hunt.  The hunt, according to Rahli, is the best way to keep yourself at your top as it is often a competition of speed, skill, nerve, cunning, and bravery at its peak as it is often a fight for life.  In the same way, a successful hunt also nourishes and feeds the tribe and allows it to see potential threats as they roam far and wide looking for game.
