Pan

The Greek wild god of shepherds, flocks, rustic music, sudden fear, and mountain solitude.

Legend File

Pan belongs to rough places where music echoes and civilized confidence starts to fray. Goat-footed, lusty, musical, and alarming, he protects shepherds and flocks but can also scatter the mind with sudden panic. His reed pipes make the wilderness sound playful until the hills answer back too loudly.
