It might also explain why some orcs have an affinity for Malar, who embodies many of the traits that the early Grummsh might have had.
I believe the deity you are referring to is Herne. In the novel Evermeet we learn that the deity Herne (presumably of Brittanic origin) was a god of the hunt in the High Forest. Just before the fall of Araushnee, Malar slew Herne in battle and took his portfolios and his name as an alias.
Now those Herne-worshiping orcs venerate Malar under the name Herne in his capacity as a god of the hunt. |
