Cynis

Cynis or Cynis/Lepith is a two-faced goddess, the sole deity of the Cyanic cult and of the Lycans, and one of the Manaës. Once a part of the now Shattered Pantheon, Cynis is a powerful entity that inspires great fear to those unfamiliar to her worship. She has the particularity of being divided in two parts (Cynis and Leptih), one being the embodiement of motherly protection, courage and warmth, and the other symbolizing savagery, maddness and hunger. The schyzophrenic nature of the goddess has spawned a similar cult, divided into two branches which do not recognize each other as legitimate. Similarily, it has shattered every level of Lycan society (hierocracy, tribes, military...) in two fragments that have reassembled at great cost throughout time.

While both the Khapesh and the Suidarak now suscribe to the official Ta'gar Cyanism ("traditional Cyanism"), Lep'tah Cyanism (blood Cyanism"'') has survived through clandestine groups and sects such as the Cyanic Blood-Cult and the Bloodied Den.

A powerful entity, Cynis has remained an influent figure of Zael's history from the Shattering of the Pantheon onwards.
