Element	Earth

Gagana the Defender is the protector-god of the Pantheon of the Sky.

Divine Domain

Though earth might seem an odd domain for a sky-bound people, Gagana embodies stability, strength, and defense - the shield that guards Tengu homes and freedom from intrusion. Gagana is worshipped above all as a protector, called upon when the Tengu must defend their homes or their way of life, and the elite warriors who guard Tengu settlements against poachers and slavers are most often devoted to the Defender.

The adventurer Tikal was born under Gagana’s sign. During his adulthood ceremony he manifested the Talons of Gagana and Phoenix, one for himself and one for his adoptive brother Aldor Thaned. Tengu tradition holds that Gagana recognized Tikal’s sacrifices and extended divine protection to him.
