Description

Haku is the god of freedom of Zakhara. He is one of the eight Great Gods of the Land of Fate and preaches the value of personal independence and self-reliance. Hakus's symbol is a stylized gust of wind.^{[1]:Adventurer's Guide to Zakhara, 48-49}

In tales he has been described as a proud nomad garbed in flowing desert clothing, wearing a gleaming scimitar.^{[1]:Adventurer's Guide to Zakhara, 48} Like other Zakharan gods he is above such concerns as alignment, as a noble desert rider may value independence as highly as a dark-hearted assassin.^{[1]:Adventurer's Guide to Zakhara, 45}

Free Haku has many worshipers among the Al-Badia, the desert nomads of Zakhara. In the Cities of the Pantheon, however, his faith is persecuted.^{[1]:Adventurer's Guide to Zakhara, 48}
