Yanìs Chronicles:
Savage Crowns

Ekoari is the second child of Jimbasi and Rowana, born into nobility and the hearth, and is the sibling of Sia Mori.

It is known as the Divine Experimenter, the Wonder’s Backer, and the Ideas’ Trader. Ekoari is considered the protector of all craftsmen, especially bricklayers and engineers, although it has a particular affinity for scientists and alchemists.
Sequoias, bugs, and iron are sacred to Ekoari and are required in sacrifices and ceremonies. Its priests are required to wear light brown robes with primarily gray decorations and then crimson. They are also well trained in combat with San Jie Gun, a complex weapon built with simple materials and derived from peasant tools.

Ekoari is the deity of science and craftsmanship. It urges its followers to always seek new solutions to every problem and to strive to build something new that is useful for the improvement of their city and society. Ekoari believes that anything taken away by fate or not allowed to be, had can be replaced by the right creations.
It is a good and caring deity, but this does not make it an unaligned deity. Ekoari encourages its followers to improve their lives, just as it strives to improve the universe through inventions and machinery that make it easier and happier for everyone to live together. At times, this may include the construction of war machines, as long as the war being fought is noble.
Ekoari is also considered the deity of exchanges and trade. Legend has it that it was the one who suggested to the first Anthros the idea of bartering and, later on, the use of coins. It strongly supports exchanges between people, especially of different races since the very nature of the exchange is what nurtures inventiveness, brings newness, and open-mindedness necessary to develop new ideas and creations.

The benevolent Ekoari appears to mortals as an anthropomorphic hybrid, with the body of a female grizzly and a buffalo head. However, its body always has at least one mechanical part built in bronze or brass and automated by steam and gears, sometimes a leg, sometimes an arm, sometimes part of the face, and so on.
