Ruhanga

Bird of the Night, Gatekeeper of the Dead

Ruhanga was a great and mighty eagle with shimmering wings and silver eyes. When Yolamba approached him he refused to partake of the sin, but neither did he stand against him. Instead he stayed in the skies and stayed true to the words of Zarn, letting his siblings war among themselves. After Zarn had dealt out both punishments and rewards he turned to Ruhanga and spoke with neither anger nor praise. Zarn commanded Ruhanga to take to the heavens and spread his wings to hide the world from Mokele and thus create night upon the world, lighting the night only with one of his silver eyes. Ruhanga, who showed great judgement and thought, was left in judgment of all mankind and serves as gatekeeper for the dead.
