Iljit

Iljit is the goddess of the Wilderness, everything which is wild and free. She believes in kill and be killed and things remaining in a natural state. She hates civilization and tools, believing they remove natural strength. She created the firbolgs to protect nature.

The wild is more than just nature. It is everything that is not influenced by the use of tools, only that which someone is born with. She believes tools are unfair, causing the weak to overcome the strong. Iljit loves strength and the growth of a being, either a specific or a species.

Iljit is completely wild, she is sometimes mistaken for a Beast God as she wear the pelt of an unknown Beast God. Some say it was in killing this Beast God that she became as wild as she has taken its place. She was planning on killing all the Beast Gods, but was imprisoned in the Celestial Planes by the Humanoid Gods to stop this mass issue. It is unknown what quarrel she has with the Beast Gods, but some theorize that she wishes to take their place and become goddess of all the Beasts.

The firbolgs were once an ape-like race, making it likely that the Beast God killed by Iljit was some sort of Ape. After killing this Beast God, firbolgs shifted and became more like Iljit, becoming her race. She now has them live in a tribal life, living much like animals themselves.
