Remnis is the giant eagle deity of Sky and Service.

Description

Remnis's avatar resembles a giant golden eagle with glowing green eyes and a 55-foot wingspan. He is intelligent, wise, and a great hunter.

Relationships

Remnis acts as a mount for many good and neutral sky gods in the human and demihuman pantheons, and the Seldarine in general. He's on excellent terms with Syranita and Aerdrie Faenya.

Realm

Remnis lives in the realm of Goldenroost on the plane of the Beastlands, but he travels between the Elemental Plane of Air, the Outlands, Mechanus, Limbo, Elysium, and Arborea.

Dogma

Remnis spends time hunting, destroying evil marauders, watching over communities of giant eagles, and awaiting the call to service. He might send his avatar to protect giant eagles from being attacked or having their eggs stolen. Very old and wise eagles may be granted a vision of his avatar, which may advise the dying birds on which leaders to choose in their absence.

Worshipers

Remnis is the patron deity of giant eagles, though he does not seem to grant spells to priests.

Creative origins

Remnis is similar to Thorondor from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion.
