Qin-sah

Qin-sah is a supposed god of and for horses venerated by Hermos. (Given that Hermos is the spiritual leader of Carnival, presumably at least a few other individuals venerate Qin-sah as well.) Along with Tidhare, Qin-sah is part of a whole pantheon of animal gods recognized by Hermos. Hermos does not think any human deities as part of this pantheon, as he believes they met with some unknown fate- this may be an oblique reference to or some unconscious recognition of the Unspoken Pact between the Dark Powers and other deities.

Of the deities in this pantheon, Hermos believes Qin-sah has the greatest strength and quickness, thereby causing Hermos to devote more prayer to him than most of the other gods. Hermos also attributes great powers of hearing to Qin-sah, whom Hermos believes is able to hear when people belittle him.

Qin-sah has an aphorism: "Evil can't endure. It turns on itself." Strangely, this is also a line from the popular l'Morai children's story and fairy tale, the Ear-Tied Hare. Qin-sah also bears a great resemblance to a character from that story, Quince the Draft Horse. Their physical likenesses are so strong that both Hermos believed the horse image inscribed upon the ruby pendant of l'Morai was Qin-sah when it was actually Quince.
The links between Quince and Qin-sah may hint at Qin-sah's origins. Even by the standards of gods the Demiplane of Dread, Qin-sah's existence seems sketchy. Despite Hermos' devotion to Qin-sah and Tidhare, he is no divine spellcaster. Moreover, as a child before suffering the living death that blocked out his memories, Hermos knew the story of the Ear-Tied Hare from which Quince comes from. Therefore, it may be that Qin-sah originated as a twisted memory of Quince the Horse.
