/// There are other Bear Kings around. Perhaps he has some spirit / animist blood in him and failed to see Odayla because it was Rathor ? Or, if you want to remain theist, he's a bastard from a lunar anakkidi soldier and has the ways of Arakang king bear in him ? That'd make him very exotic. Or even better, he's on of the rare Blue Bears, with connection to... the Blue Moon.
KNOW YOURSELF ! I recently ran into a situation I've never encountered before. A PC tried to initiate into the cult of Odayla and failed to kill the bear. So I'm trying to figure out what to do. My first thought would be to say it's a sign that he's not meant to worship Odayla, but he's really keen on it (and he has the Bear rune, which isn't very useful without worshipping Odayla). I could just let him repeat the ceremony, but that seems sort of dull story-wise. It seems like he ought to do something else to initiate, perhaps discover some deeper reason for his failure or do a ritual to erase the stain of his failure, or do an alternate initiation, but I'm coming up dry. Anyone have any ideas, and any thoughts about failed initiations in general?
