{ The Dyrdio People}
Dyrdio's only have one God, and technically do not worship it. Instead they give praise and drink/party in honor of their god and his glory, but never actually set a time to sit down and worship him.
Probably why he doesn't have a symbol and their religion doesn't have a name.
The Gods name however is Dionan (Die-Oh-Nan) and he is a very merciful, lain-back deity what works very well with the Dyrdio way of life. He appears to be a well aged Satyr with a set of 3 horns, two small goat horns upon his forehead, a pair of roebuck antlers on the top and finally some kudu horns set further back.
This, and his large healthy beard is the only difference between him and a Naadyr.
Dionan, as prior mentioned, is very lain back and playful. He is not a vengeful god (then again, the Dyrdio people are not very aggressive or vengeful anyway) and is speculated to take the form of a young Naadyr with no beard but large ears to partake in parties without being bothered, and always carries a never-ending goblet of wine.
An expert music player, there is also a tale that if one should play their instrument very well it could summon Dionan to listen, where he would promptly demand a contest of skill, though none really know what happens if you win or lose.
The Dyrdio people are one of the oldest tribes present, they believe that Dionan created each of them from the hair upon his body and gave them each the blessing of wine by giving them a sip of his never-ending goblet at birth, granting them the knowledge of how to make such a brew.
Similar to the music lore, one who should create a wine from the best ingredients to achieve an almost god-like taste is also known to summon Dionan to them, to which he should bless them with further wealth or possibly a gift.
