need a big god for @notanotherstuckybb
In the bogs and forests across Europe, there lives a spirit. It walks with the legs of a goat, but the head and hands of a man. In days gone by, people worshipped it. They called it many names. They feared and revered it.
The modern world brought forth the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the forgetting of the old ways. As the 20th Century dawned, humanity began to overstep its bounds. Death and tragedy abounded. One soldier, not that different really from all the rest, thought to sacrifice himself to save the world. His body landed in a bog in Ireland. The old god of that land heard and came to answer the groaning of the earth.
That soldier then stayed. He and the old god, they watched the world grow darker and more violent. They tried to help. Eventually, they did make a difference. Eventually.
