Eagle was a deity and animal spirit worshiped by the green elves of Evermeet.[4]
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]
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 American Indian peoples of Earth.[4] Some of the djinn of Zakhara also payed homage to him, and he had a mosque at their Citadel of Ice and Steel.[7]
