Cernunnos
The Stag Lord, The Horned Lord
PFS Legal
Pantheon
Cernunnos was a mercurial azata empyreal lord who embodied the wild and primeval force of nature. He stealthily ventured through the forests of the Great Beyond, favouring decisive action to fight off the tide of evil. The Stag Lord aimed to set right natural balances that are out of kilter and indulged in his passions.
After the death of Gorum in 4724 AR, Cernunnos hunted the draconic deity Garhaazh but fell through a hole in reality, a trap set mid-hunt by his prey, and was cast beyond the bounds of the Dark Tapestry.

Chaotic GoodA chaotic good character cherishes freedom and the right to make her own way. She might have her own ethics and philosophy, but is not rigidly held by them. She may try to do good each day, perhaps being kind to a stranger or giving money to those less fortunate, but does so purely out of joy. Such a character makes up her own mind up about what is good and right based upon truth and facts, but does not fool herself that evil acts are good. Her goodness is benevolent—perhaps occasionally blind, but always well meant.
A chaotic good character can seem unpredictable, giving alms to an unfortunate outside a church but refusing to make a donation within. She trusts her instincts and could put more stock in the words of a beggar with kind eyes than the teachings of a harsh-looking bishop. She might rob from the rich and give to the poor, or spend lavishly for her own joy and that of her friends. In extreme cases, a chaotic good character may seem reckless in her benevolence. - Areas of Concern

Neutral GoodA neutral good character is good, but not shackled by order. He sees good where he can, but knows evil can exist even in the most ordered place., CG
A neutral good character does anything he can, and works with anyone he can, for the greater good. Such a character is devoted to being good, and works in any way he can to achieve it. He may forgive an evil person if he thinks that person has reformed, and he believes that in everyone there is a little bit of good.Chaotic GoodA chaotic good character cherishes freedom and the right to make her own way.

He avoids authority and does not fear standing out or appearing different. In extreme cases, he may embrace a lifestyle entirely suited to himself— living in a cave near a city, becoming an artist, or otherwise challenging traditions. He never accepts anything at face value and makes up his own mind rather than blindly accepting what others tell him to do or think. - Realms
