Description

Third and largest of the Novo Bello deities.

This Deity is owned by SubterraneanStables

His is a pure black (no markings of any sort) with Contrasting plates and the Horns mutation (unique variant).
He is the largest of all the Deities, standing at a grand 40 hh at the shoulder.

Known as the "Stag King" for his unique horns. This Deity is the oldest (our best guess is around a couple thousand years old) and largest of the Novo Bello gods. Although like all the rest he does have a horrible temper, he is still the mildest and most understanding of the Four, earning him titles such as "The Father" and "The Benevolent". But his wrath, should you incur it, is the greatest of all the gods. He does not often grant second chances, and his rulings are final. As his word is law, he does not speak lightly. He is incredibly wise, and he keeps the other Deities in check. In his eyes, cruelty towards the weak is the greatest sin, and he will not tolerate the other gods picking on undeserving mortals. However, he also trusts their judgement, and won't always intercede. 
He is often surrounded by an entourage of the meek and downtrodden, Novo Bellos who have nowhere to turn and need his guidance flock to him and follow him. A few who gain favor with him will be blessed to always stay by his side and aid him helping the weak and punishing the wicked.

Curses:
:bulletred: Infertility (he usually bestows this on anyone he sees mistreating foals)
:bulletred: Underbelly mutation (though often not fatal to the one it curses, it can be passed to offspring where it can/will be fatal)
:bulletred: Brittle Bones (this can cause brittle plates and bones, making the NB fragile and therefore unable to fight for itself or even be too careless without serious injury)
:bulletred: Banishment (the NB will be stripped of their rank and all their Mettle Marks rescinded, and they'll be unable to earn more ~ this curse can be lifted, but the NB will have to start at the lowest rank and Marks will not be returned)

Blessings:
:bulletgreen: Antlers (this will grant the NB the Horn mutation in the shape of antlers and can pass to offspring)
:bulletgreen: Brave Heart (grants the NB strength and can change their conformation to that of a draft, if it's not already ~ also grants 40 Mettle Marks)
:bulletgreen: Fertility
:bulletgreen: Accolade (a blessed position at the side of this Deity, this blessing will grant 100 Mettle Marks and often earns an NB the rank of Demigod)
