Ogun

Ogun (pronounced: oʊ.gən) is a deity of hot forging, powerful crafts, and the unstoppable force. Worship and even awareness of Ogun is very scattered throughout Pyrhia, most worship of a deity of forge and craft is focused toward Vastar.

Depiction
Little is known of Ogun's appearance as he doesn't appear in as common artistic work as other more prevalent deities,. In the statue found at the shrine in the Oldgrowth Woods, he appears to take the form of a hulking, horned, bull or minotaur-like humanoid bound with thick muscles, wearing a blacksmith's outfit and a large hammer, working at an anvil.

Iconography
Ogun's symbol appears to be a sword or handle and two curved ram horn-like arms coming out of the hilt or top.

Worshipers
Those who follow Ogun are molders and crafters of metal into various works, normally those used for combat or more mundane utility purposes like heavy machinery or cart. One known cleric of Ogun, Redmont "Red" Malleus, has been granted the ability to reshape metal at will and summon Ogun's weapon, a massive, spectral, red-hot, hammer, to assist in combat.

History
Very few modern day folk in the known world worship or even pray to Ogun. It's unclear whether the deity was forgotten or buried or just always relatively regional. There are some mentions of Ogun in journals and texts on deities and worship at-large, and some blacksmiths openly display symbols resembling that of Ogun's, whether or not the blacksmith is aware of the meaning behind the symbol. Some time around the turn of the 14th century, a shrine to Ogun was discovered in a cave in the Oldgrowth Woods by a clan of Firbolg, the Oakfall clan. The cave was uncovered by a rockslide during a scuffle with some new strange creatures that had invaded the local area, their origin unknown.
