Qett the Cat

Sister to Bes

Bes the Cat

Bes is a Southrun god and brother of Qett. He is born of the congress between Bhamut and a cat lord. He is aloof and seemingly unfeeling, but with almost limitless curiosity. He resides on his own demi-plane -- a small island in the midst of the Astral Sea. Perhaps more than any of the gods, he has closely observed the affairs of men, but always with the same mixture of diffidence and scorn. Bes thinks nothing of ignoring those speaking to him, and if he answers, it is often with a question of his own.

Bes has 9 lives, and each of them must be killed on his own plane within a year or he will simply disappear when harmed. Bes will always land on his feet in that regard. He can lend additional lives to mortals using the same regenerative power he owns.

Asad the Lion

Asad is venerated as the god of war, power and savagery. He is known to be slow to anger but implacable when roused. His fury often means that the weak and innocent bystanders are sometimes consumed in his rage in addition to those whom he intends to visit his wrath. 

His worshippers promise him kills in battle and he is said to have the battle go to those who promise the most. Lest a warrior be consumed with exaggeration, his predictions must be tempered by the fact that Asad will consume those that do not keep their promises.

Asad is a rival of Gazal for the attention of Qett, who despite carrying one of his offspring already, Qett does not give Asad her affections.

He generally appears as a giant golden brown Lion, but is able to shape change at will. He will attack by pouncing on objects up to 100 yards away. Those upon whom he lands will be clawed and bitten.
