Thoughts: Hmmm, what does the cub want now?
Malabor sat there with his paws folded in front of him as he watched the drow around him bustle about. Kardien was across from where the cub was sitting, helping a Tribesmen weave a few baskets. The cub looked over as a few other male drow, the same age as his drow, had small spears or bows and seemed to be following their Father's to hunt. Malabor watched his drow thinking the child was...odd. Why wasn't he...if it was a he...hunting with the other drow that looked like it? Malabor got up to pad over to the child and nudge their side.
Kardien looked down at Malabor,
"Ah!" the drow looked down at the cub,
"Oh that's right...I haven't named you yet have I. What to name you?"The cub walked around the small tent, nosing into every little box or nook. The cub came to a stop at a statue of a drow male with a owl on his shoulder. The cub's wide eyes stared at the owl. Kardien walked up next to him,
"Oh that's Malos...he's the patron god of our Tribe. Tribe Lore says that Malos was a Hunter who used magic to slay the first of the Har'leth which stalks the outer reaches of the Tribe's territory. Their a rather mean bunch of monsters. It was said that Malos fought the largest record Alpha of the Main Har'leth Pack. Malos was rumored to be the son of pure magic, he specialized in Obscuromancy. Not sure what aspect though." The youth knelt down as he watched the cub reach up to paw at the statue,
"You like him huh..."The adult nearby chuckled, "Another story of Malos is that he was actually able to shift into an owl. A form which earned him god-like status. He also liked picking on those he deemed weaker than him. It was said that he had the face of a Saint, but the mind of a Sinner.'
Kardien looked back at the elder,
"So...why is he our Patron Deity?"The elder walked over with a kind smile, "Because he taught our first leader magic. Popular story tells of him fathering a child with her. Supposdly, this child managed to travel to the cities."
Kardien stood rapidly,
"The Cities?!? Really? So, does that mean that the Noxci Clan is even in one of the cities?"The adult blinked as the cub seemed to twitch as its drow attention was not on it anymore, "Why yes...that may be the case..." the elder watched as the cub stood up on its hind legs and slammed Kardien into the ground.
Kardien looked back at at the cub muttering,
"I got the perfect name for you. Malabor."The adult bit back a laugh, Malabor meant 'Illusion of Malos'...
