The Great Hunt

The Pride is deeply polytheistic, believing that every ruler who falls in honorable battle ascends to the heavens, where they are reborn as a god among the stars. There they join the Celestial Pride—a divine pantheon of kings and whose spirits watch eternally over their descendants. Foremost among them is Artemis, the First Sovereign, whose star burns brighter than all others. As the founder and greatest of their rulers, Artemis serves as the guiding light of the heavens, a symbol of unmatched strength, courage, and dominion. Each constellation is believed to embody a fallen warlord, preserving their wisdom, ambition, and unyielding spirit. From the night sky they watch over the Pride, offering guidance to those worthy enough to understand their signs. Before every hunt, raid, or campaign, warriors gather beneath the stars to seek omens in the celestial patterns, believing that the movements of their divine ancestors reveal whether victory, hardship, or glorious death awaits them. To die in battle is not an ending, but the highest honor imaginable. Those rulers who prove themselves through strength, leadership, and sacrifice earn their place among the stars, where they will one day guide future generations as gods in the eternal heavens.
