Memory:Jackal demon

A special demon, worshipped as a god by ancient Ancardians, with the head and limbs of a jackal on an otherwise humanoid form. These have never been reported anywhere but in archeological sites of the ancient culture, but those that have been encountered have fought furiously, perhaps seeking to reclaim some of the power they used to have. The body of a human with a jackal's head. In times long past, the god with the head of the jackal was the master and protector of the West, the Realm the Sun passed during the night, populated by the souls of the dead who had been tried on the scales and were found just. Eventually, belief dwindled and the power of the god withdrew from this world; only in the old centres and foci of belief, where some of the old magic persists, he can take the shape in which he once was worshipped. He can inhabit several such bodies at the same time, for they all are one to him.
