HoonDing (The Make Way God): Yokudan spirit of 'perseverance over infidels'. The HoonDing has historically materialized whenever the Redguards need to 'make way' for their people. In Tamrielic history this has only happened three times—twice in the first era during the Ra Gada Invasion and once during the Tiber War. In this last incarnation, the HoonDing was said to have been either a sword or a crown, or both.

In history, Malooc the Horde King is the enemy god of Ra Gada who led an army of globins against the Red Guard in the First Era. Then HoonDing appeared to drive out the globin force all the way to the east.

HoonDing is also represented as an avatar by Diagna. Diagna was instrumental to the defeat of the Lefthanded Elves, as he brought orichalc weapons to the Yokudan people to win the fight. In Tamriel, he led a very tight knit group of followers against the Orcs of Orsinium during the height of their ancient power, but then faded into obscurity. He is now little more than a local power spirit of the Dragontail mountains.
