Lore:Tiger God

The Tiger God was an obscure figure once worshipped by the Redguards of Bantha on the 14th of Last Seed. It was speculated that the Feast of the Tiger, held on this day, may have originally been a religious observance in honor of the Tiger God, rather than a harvest thanksgiving. By the time of the Third Era, however, the feast had evolved into a more festive occasion, still celebrated in the rainforest, but now resembling other harvest festivals. It was not a solemn time of reflection and gratitude, but a lively celebration marked by grand festivities across villages.

Notes

• Tigers have been associated with other gods by other cultures as well at times - Tosh Raka, the leader of Ka Po' Tun, is referred to as the divine Tiger-Dragon. In the Nedic language, the word 'Tosh' could mean either time, tiger, or dragon, depending on its context. It was also a component of the name of Akatosh, the god of time. Tiber Septim, who would later be revered as the Ninth Divine, Talos, was known for his fondness for tigers, a passion that began in his youth.
