The Cult of Bael
Most of the Hartwoods are members of the Cult of Bael, a mystery cult dedicated to Bael the Huntsman. Bael is a god of the hunt and the wilderness as a place of violence and danger. Bael can be depicted as a wolf, falcon, horse, hunter, or even a combination of human hunter and one of his animal aspects. Priests of Bael teach that violence is a tool for survival rather than something to be abhorred or glorified. Initiates of the cult call themselves Falcons and male members grow their hair into a distinctive style called "the hunter's tail". Not much else is known about the cult by outsiders.
