Moder

Name

Moder

Personality

Moder presented herself as a dark guardian deity of the secluded woodland she held dominion over. The beast Jötunn stalks travelers who dare to trespass her pine forest domain as she singles out those who emotionally troubled among them, marking them and forcing them to confront traumatic moments in their lives in order to easily convert them while executing the rest. Her unforgiving and demanding nature not unlike cruel pagan deities is best shown through her interaction with her cult; she expects periodical sacrifice in return of blessings upon them and slaughters them for transgressions (ex. failure in keeping prisoners in check and preventing the harm upon their half-dead elders) even if said transgressions were done out of sloppiness. Despite this, Moder is not without the capacity to show mercy or compassion as she gives her would-be devotees the chance to pledge upon her in their own volition and protects them in return as long as they won't incur her wrath, only resorting to force them if they show defiance

Description

Moder is an entity whose appearance fit to that of a Jötunn, the primordial and chaotic giant/troll like deities of Norse Mythology and a child of Loki as stated by one of the cultists. Like Jormungandr and Fenrir, her natural form is animalistic and beast-like instead of humanoid one where in Moder's case, a large elk-like creature with body overgrown with plant matter, spikes protruding along her spine, and an additional set of human-like hands by her hips. Her head resembles a headless human torso with antlers for arms and arms for legs, with a vaguely human head with glowing eyes where its crotch would be.

Background

As described by one of the Swedish cultists, Moder is a "bastard offspring" of the Norse god Loki and is one of the Jötnar, a race of troll/giant-like gods that served as the rivals of Gods of Asgard in Norse mythology. She appears as an enormous, elk-like monster with bright yellow eyes, skeletal head with antlers and a pair of human-like hands on her head. Moder stalks travelers who enter her forest and "marks" the person who has suffered from emotional pain. That person is given a choice; worship Moder or die at her hands. Those who are not marked by her are tortured and sacrificed. After centuries, Moder has created a cult of worshippers, made up of missing people who hiked through the forest surrounding her home. The cultists who worship her are given eternal life and are protected by Moder from outsiders.
