Curchanus is a mostly-forgotten god who reigned over beasts, travel, and endurance. While Desna was still a young goddess, she would spend many nights listening to tales of his travels. Their long talks came to a sudden end when the envious goddess Lamashtu led Curchanus into a trap, robbing him of his dominion over beasts. This attack was too much for the god to withstand, and he was killed as a result of the theft. As his final act, he passed on his dominion over travel to Desna, who had always treasured the tales of his journeys.[1][2] It is said that this theft caused humans to lose their bond with animals, who thereafter only saw them with suspicion and mistrust.[2]
Some ancient shrines on remote paths still bear faint echos of the dead god's power.[2]
