Avatar Descriptions
Habbakuk occasionally appears as a large blue bird or phoenix
aglow with blue flames. At sea, Habbakuk assumes the form of a
giant blue dolphin. Purportedly, he has taken many other forms,
including a badger, a wild elf, a serious but clever kender, a tall
ranger with wildly black hair and intensely blue eyes, a wiry druid
with white hair and beard, and many other creatures. In these
guises, the color blue typically appears in the creature's coloration
or clothing.

Notes
Hale and hearty, Habbakuk is always immersed in and obsessed
with the present moment. This obsession makes him care-free and
noisome one moment and predatory and silent the next. Some
confuse this latter aspect with cruelty or Evil, but Habbakuk
unfailingly acts for Good. Just as he allows a hungry tribe of
plainsmen to bring down a fattened buck, so too, Habbakuk does
not flinch from other violent acts for the purpose of Good.
Motivations
Habbakuk, as Paladine's son and Kiri-Jolith's twin, wants to heal
the scars on Ansalon itself, trying to reverse the damage done
during the War of the Lance. Habbakuk specifically seeks to
reclaim the Silvanesti homeland. To this end, he works with the
Neutral gods of nature. Because Habbakuk founded the Knights
of the Crown, their quests often help nature. In addition,
Habbakuk works to keep the Evil Sea Queen Zeboim at bay.
Description
Habbakuk created and rules all creatures of land and sea. Rangers
and sailors especially revere him. He made the creatures in his
likeness, and he is as feral and merciless as they. Still, in the furious
cycle of predator and prey, there resides a natural harmony that
also embodies Habbakuk. He is thus as fierce as a lion when
dealing with Evil and as innocent as a doe when dealing with
Good. Needless to say, Habbakuk is as much feared as he is
loved. Because he represents the eternal cycle of nature,
Habbakuk has become a symbol of eternal life beyond the world.
Son of Paladine and Mishakal, Habbakauk is Kiri-Jolith's younger
twin. Together with his father and brother, Habbakuk established
the Knights of Solamnia, creating the order of the Crown to
champion his ways.
