Background

Travelled north with Hywel, Tarján, and their party as part of a divine quest: it is the commandment of Ogun not to let monsters befoul the land. She's made friends with them, and the group are somewhat bonded as having a common (far-off) origin, but she's not outright associated with the knight's entourage.


Where the Kijani's autochthonic god is a force known as the Green, Tanwyn is part of a heterodox but not heretical sect that reveres it in a more personified form, pointing to the texts of the ancient elves who worshipped a two-faced deity known as the Green Man. A frequent relation is made between the Green Man and Nun and Naunet in Nuria, Yarila and Porevit in Dornig, and Freyr and Freyja in the North; Tanwyn looks closer to home, pointing to the gods of the jungles themselves. Ogun is a god of farmers and of warriors - and so he should be, for farmers must take up arms to defend their fields; he is a god of green growth and of forged iron - and so he should be, for by plough and axe are the fields made good for plants to grow in; he is a freer of slaves and a jailor of criminals - and so he should be, for a key locks and unlocks doors. Here is the two-faced Lord of the Green.
