**The First Stag** (Also known as the **One Horned King**) was an archfey of the Feywild, said to be a the ruler of good omens and and Fey magic. He was created by Irevania to become the last member of the Circle of Life.

## Description

The First Stag appears as a deer like creature standing at 14ft (19ft including horns) with a mix of blue feathers and fur. Their tail is long and seems to be a single strand of fur ending in a twin feather. Two sets of wings adorn the creature, one on its mid section right above the beginning of the hind legs, and the other set running along its front legs. It has a moonstone-like single horn growing from the left side of its head. The right antler appeared to be smashed off near the base.

The First Stag is not known to manifest any avatars. So there is no documented form it uses for such purposes.

## Personality

The Stag is a serene and graceful entity. It presents itself in majestic manners in only the most befitting of places for its hooves to trod. It is known to be quite generous as well, giving the creatures it comes across boons and blessings. While he never communicates in a verbal manner, most of, if not all creatures can understand his gestures.

The generous manner of his made him quite attractive to the other beasts of the forest, however, he has never bore a child.

## Abilities

The First Stag's general presence increased the Fortune of those around him. Any accidents that resulted in a creature's harm would be luckily diverted, silver coins would spontaneously turn golden, and dice would roll only what the user needed. His extensive influence over the magic that ruled the Fey allowed him to become incredibly efficient in spellcasting. Conjuring, charming, and transmuting things was a natural part of what happened around him.

As an archfey, his abilities are far greater than his fey subjects. During his creation, he was given the Gift of Fey Magic. He was said to be the most powerful spellcaster within the Feywilds. The Stag's power was great enough to an extent that he was the primary source of Epic Magics within the Material Realm. Worship of him among powerful spellcasters, as it was said the sacrifice of his body allowed for the casting of Epic magic, however it would take a century for his form to manifest again if he was killed in this way.

## Possessions

The Stag does not own any particular items, but enjoys keeping the wreaths of twigs his worshippers offer him within his domain.

## Activities

When The First Stag was created using the Blood of Irevania, Clay, and Moonstone, Valakri became jealous of his beauty and challenged him to a duel. Due to Valakri's nature, The First Stag lost, and Valakri took half his rack as a token of victory. His rack was used in the creation of the Crook of the First Crowned, and creating deer and their kin among the planes.

The Stag's primary duty is to keep the balance of Fey magic as to keep the realm stable.

## Worshipers

Many worshippers of The Stag are spellcasters of greater power, primarily Druids and Clerics. Their followers routinely make offerings of wreaths made from twigs, which could be found placed in areas touched by The Stag. Cultic activity is low with The Stag, as sects of his worship, especially those focused on ulterior or power focused motives never gained much favor with him.

Rather than having teachings to learn of, The Stag is worshipped for his generous nature in hopes he showers gifts upon his most loyal followers.

## Divine Realm

As the land was decided during the forming of the Circle of Life, the land left for its last member was slim. So, to show their kindness to the new creature, they offered all unclaimed lands to belong to the Stag. This allows The Stag to manifest within a large number of places compared to other Archfey. Its vastness across the realm also allows The Stag to maintain a grip on the flows of Fey Magics within the areas, making maintaining balance easier. Passage into the Territory of The Stag is marked by twig wreaths.

## Relationships

The Stag was widely respected for its monumental responsibility among the Archfey

Despite the battle between Valakri and himself, The Stag views Valakri as a close friend although they quite rarely cross paths

The Stag looked to his creator Irevania as a mother figure, and to outsiders who knew nothing of the two, his fierce loyalty and protection of her was described to be almost "Guard Dog Like"
