Picus
Picus is a strange deity, often depicted as a wiry human with the head of a raven or fully in raven form. He is closely allied with Polydorus, God of Wild Beasts and shares that deities hatred of civilization (though not to the same extreme degree). Picus’s priesthood is extremely small and his direct worshippers few, though some heralds and messengers call upon him from time to time when they feel that Pavor has failed them.
It is said that Picus is the most knowledgeable of all the gods, as his birds watch everything for him. Legend suggests that his ravens can absorb the memories of the deceased by eating their eyes. As Agara the Peregrin, he seeks to disrupt those who hunt in the name of Faunaros, God of Hunting, particularly those who dare to tame his hawks and falcons to use when hunting.
