Gruumsh | Unwinking Eye |
Creator and patron deity of Orcs God of rage-born survival — a divine force that answers pain with power, chains with wrath, injustice with blood. The divine embodiment of fighting back by any means necessary, no matter how messy or cruel. The dark answer to being powerless. “No one saved me, so I became what they fear.” Offers no mercy, no forgiveness — only the promise that your enemies will fear your strength, and your scars will become weapons. "When the world breaks you, rise and break it in turn." "Endurance is meaningless if it changes nothing. Rise. Rage. Take." |
Example worshippers: Those who survive through violence, and by those who see power as the only answer to oppression. The Outcast Gladiator: “Let them cheer when I spill blood. Let them flinch when I raise my blade. I was chained, now I break them. The Desperate Refugee: “No one gave us food. No one opened their gates. So I take what’s mine.” The Beaten Slave: “Let my hands stop shaking. Let them feel what I felt. Let them fear me.” The Gang Leader: “They want control? I’ll show them power. I’ll rule the streets with scars and fire.” The Avenging Widow: “He died for nothing. I’ll burn the man who signed the order, and smile while he begs.” The Shunned Child: “They laughed when I cried. I won’t cry again. I’ll be the monster in their stories.” |

Let me carry what would crush them.” The Orphan: “The streets are cold and the rich look away. But he watches. He weeps. He knows.” The Slave: “They broke my body, not my will. Let my spirit stay my own — if only for one more sunrise.” The Pacifist: “Let me not return their hatred. Let me endure, so no one else has to.” The Martyr: “They say I’m weak. Let them.

Worshipper's Perspective: (How followers perceive the deity, viewing his influence as pragmatic, strategic, and a means to achieve personal or political success.) Ambition; Contracts and Pacts; Clever Maneuvering; Control through Consent; Deception; Shrewd Diplomacy; Exploitation of Weaknesses; Outmaneuvering Adversaries; Strategy and Planning; Pragmatic Success; Securing of Power; Sacrifice (Typically understood in the context of personal advancement, influence, and achieving one’s goals through cleverness and persuasion. It is the willingness to bend morality for control, and truth for victory.)
Underlying Reality: Coercion; Subtle Corruption; Deception; Strategic Manipulation; Seduction; Temptation; Damnation Contractual Domination; Immutability of One's Word and Promises; The Inviolability of Law; Oaths; Law as Chains; Law as Binding Control / Law as Bondage
(The Lord of Nine's influence is rooted in the manipulation of agreements and laws, where promises bind individuals to him. He never breaks his word, but uses these unbreakable contracts to subtly corrupt, control, and lead followers into damnation.) |
Asmodeus | Three inverted triangles arranged in a long triangle |
Law as a Weapon/Tool (/Binding and Exploitation) Symbolizes the seductive and absolute power of law — used not to guide or protect, but to trap, control, and corrupt. His law is immutable and inescapable, twisted into chains cloaked as contracts, bargains, and "consent." A devil’s smile beneath a lawyer’s robe.
"Every contract is a promise. Every promise is a chain. Every chain, in time, leads to him."

Just let my children live through the winter.” The Court Official: “Grant me clarity, Lord of Law, to find fault in their defense, and bind them with truth.” The Merchant: “Let the deal favor me, let them see no better option, let the clause hold them tight.” The Soldier: “I will obey without question. I will rise. Let others falter and open the path.” The Poor Student: “Let them believe I passed. Let the record show I belong here.” |

Dimara (feminine) (non-core deity)

Titles: The God of the Weeping Cord • He Who Endures • Shelter of the Shattered
Domains: Endurance, Compassion, Martyrdom, Redemption, Protection
Symbol: A pair of open hands bound in red cord, radiating gentle light
"Your pain is not meaningless. I carry it with you."
Ilmater is the god of the burdened — the silent guardian of those who suffer, the steady light that does not waver even in the darkest cruelty. His faith teaches that to endure without vengeance is strength, and that dignity, mercy, and kindness are acts of rebellion in a world steeped in cruelty.
He does not call his followers to conquest, but to quiet defiance: to stand firm when all others fall, to lift others even when broken themselves. He is the divine protector of the wounded soul, the martyr who shields the weak not for glory, but because no one else will.
To worship Ilmater is to choose the harder path: to bear pain, and still choose grace.
"In suffering, we do not become lesser — we become guardians."
Ilmater is principled. His worshippers suffer and protect. He is endurance, quiet dignity, and unbroken compassion. He validates sacrifice and restraint as paths to salvation.
Gruumsh says: "You are alone, and you must become powerful."
Ilmater says: "You are not alone, and we will carry each other."
