The | The Rhythm is the ever-changing, never static, flow of Nature. The Way | ||
of the Hunter is as complex as the Rhythm itself, but is known by three | |||
names - The Way of Defiance, The Way of Destruction, and The Way of | |||
Severity. This rhythmic balance is the realm of Haern, as He is the | |||
force that keeps the Rhythm in motion. The hunt is about sacrifice - | |||
clean and merciful, a conscious and deliberate choice of a greater good | |||
over a lesser good. Good, to the Hunter, is this application of force in | |||
the appropriate time, space and proportion. Evil is the misapplication | |||
of such force, or the unwillingness to act at all. It is a virtue to | |||
know one's place in the natural order of Aetolia. To allow another to | |||
dictate this to you is a vice. | |||
Haern finds virtuous these traits of strong will, severity and | |||
destruction, and seeks a balance of rhythm, rather than of stability. It | |||
takes courage to not fear dissolution and to know that all spiritual | |||
principles are indestructible. His realm encompasses all animals, and He | |||
harbors a respect for the prey as well as for the skilled hunter. He is | |||
intolerant of transgressions and is known to bring swift action against | |||
any creature that oversteps its bounds, or any abomination that has no | |||
place in Nature. His followers include a mixture of those who strive for | |||
a strict balance in Nature, those who value strife as an agent of | |||
growth, diversity and harmony, and those who see themselves as | |||
passionate advocates of the wilderness and the wild. | |||
As fresh blood on the cold, pure snow, the colours of Haern are crimson | |||
and ivory. His symbols are a red bone claw on a field of white, and the | |||
open triad, a three-branched knot reminding of the Ways. The bear, the | |||
serpent, and the raven are held sacred by those who follow Him. | |||
