Eagle was a deity and animal spirit worshiped by the green elves of Evermeet.[6]
Description[]
His role was to bestow good fortune but also to bring omens of impending catastrophes. The spirit appeared as a giant black eagle, and sometimes as a giant warrior visible in the clouds. His gaze could be lightning and his voice thunder.[1]
Relationships[]
Like the other nature spirits venerated by the Sy-tel-quessir, Eagle served the pantheon of the Seldarine,[2] and specifically Rillifane Rallathil to the degree that he was considered an aspect of the Leaflord.[7]
Priesthood[]
Eagle's priests worked for the common good and tried to achieve good fortune for their community.[1]
Worshipers[]
Next to the green elves of Toril, this powerful spirit was also worshiped under the name of Thunder by the Native American peoples of Earth.[6] Some of the djinn of Zakhara also payed homage to him, and he had a mosque at their Citadel of Ice and Steel.[8]
