Faunus in Mystara is the Immortal patron, and progenitor, of [[faun]]s and the various forest-dwelling races.

===History===
Faunus is among the older Immortals who have forgotten their own origins. He vaguely remembers being a goat-like being that was mutated by magic and slowly becoming more and more human and intelligent. He spent much of his long mortal life indulging in the various earthly pleasures, tending flocks of sheep and rams, and bringing forth the fauns. He eventually stumbled onto the path to Immortality and achieved it under the sponsorship of [[Terra (Deity)|Terra]].

===Appearance===
Faunus appears either as a man with the head or antlers of a deer, or as a faun or [[satyr]] that is either young and handsome, or old, drunk, and fat.

===Personality===
Faunus is incredebly self-centered, lazy, and lacking any real ambition, as evidenced by the fact that he's relatively weak compared to his age. He rarely interacts with mortals, only caring about the forest-dwelling races and herd animals. Because of his personality, he has no real enemies, and is only allies with [[Eiryndul]] and [[Zirchev]], both of whom are also patrons of sylvan races.

Faunus in Blackmoor, is the the other head of the [[Elf|elven]] pantheon, the father of all animals, plants, and monsters in the world.

===Appearance===
Faunus never appears the same whenever he manifests, but always appears as a mighty, towering elf with animalistic features, with these features changing with every manifestation.

===Worshippers===
Faunus is worshipped similiarly by both the Cumasti and the Westryn elves. They both consider [[druid]]s to be the only priests of the god, and worship him in secluded groves and places of untouched nature. Followers of the Lord of the Wilds seek to only take as much as they need for sustenance, pray to him for good crops and harvest, speak his name every time nature's bounty is harvested.
