Main Portfolio: War, Combat, Strategy, Discipline, Conflict (with purpose)

Typical Domains: War, Order

Other Domains: Knowledge, Tempest

Battle; Honorable Combat; Armed Conflict; Discipline; Martial Codes (the rules of war); Military Hierarchy; Strategy; Valor; War (defined as structured conflict with clear purpose and objectives)

(Represents war as structured, goal-driven conflict — a force to be respected and wielded, not unleashed blindly. War must serve a purpose, whether that be defense, conquest, justice, or survival. A war without purpose is not a war, but merely slaughter and butchery - which the deity views unfavorably.)

“Martial Codes” may include:

• Codes of conduct for soldiers (e.g. honor, discipline, duty)
• Rules of engagement (when and how it's acceptable to initiate combat)
• Prohibited actions (e.g. attacking non-combatants, using certain weapons)
• Expectations of treatment (e.g. of prisoners, civilians, fallen enemies)
• Chivalric ideals (in some cultures — honor in battle, mercy, dueling)

What these are is not of importance (so long as they don't sway into slaughter, butchery, etc.) - the importance is that the culture has martial codes for conducting war, and that it follows them.

Does not judge why a war is fought — only that it is war, and not chaos masquerading as conflict.

The Commander: “Let me read the battlefield clearly. Let my soldiers trust the plan. Let order be our edge.”

The Duelist: “Let my blade speak truth. Let the test be clean. Let me fall with honor, or stand with purpose.”

The Peasant-Turned-Fighter: “I never chose the sword. But if I must fight, let me fight well.”

The Mercenary Captain: “I wage war for coin — but I keep order. I fight clean. I keep my word.”

(A god not of structured warfare but of raw, unrelenting conflict. Represents the fury of those cast aside, the violence born from pain, and the will to endure through force and rage.)

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.”

(A god of those who endure without striking back, who bear burdens so others do not have to. Represents moral resilience, and the belief that suffering has meaning if it shields others.)

 The Prisoner: “They beat me again. But I still breathe. Let me hold out one more day — until someone remembers I’m here.”

The Healer: “Let my pain ease theirs. Let me take what they cannot bear. 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. I suffer so they don’t have to.”

The Lord of Nine; The Lord of Lies; The Archfiend; The Corruptor; The Serpent's Tongue; The Architect of Damnation; 

Main Portfolio: Law as a Weapon/Tool, Contracts, Control, Order (through influence and exploitation), Temptation, Corruption

Typical Domains: Knowledge, Order, Trickery

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.)

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."

Desperate farmer: “Let my neighbor’s claim be overturned, my lord, for I had the land first. Give me the words to win the magistrate’s ear.”

The Starving Mother: “I will do what must be done. 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.”

 The Spider

Lord/Lady of Chaos

Dimara (feminine) (non-core deity)

Main Portfolio: Darkness, Night, Loss, Oblivion, Secrets, Hidden Truths, Silence

Typical Domains: Trickery, Death, Knowledge

Worshipper's Perspective:

Apathy; Deceit; Erasure (of self); Escapism; Forgetting; Hidden Knowledge; Hidden Wisdom; Loss; Night; Quietude; Rejection of Falsehoods; Secrecy; Stillness; Suppression of Pain (especially of the soul); Truth in Darkness; Unmasking of Lies; Comfort through Emptiness

(The Nightsinger is the shadow behind the shadow — a master manipulator cloaked in layers of secrecy and deceit. Some seek this presence to escape grief or find solace in silence, or may revere the deity as a hidden guide to forgotten truths. But most who serve do so unwittingly, where the deity whispers lies, shapes false images, and wears false face — each tailored to the soul meant to follow.

The Nightsinger's true doctrine is never spoken, only lived. Devotion becomes a path of misdirection and quiet ruin — a descent into oblivion. And when your usefulness fades, so too does the shadow’s presence, leaving only silence, emptiness, and the aching truth that you’ve been abandoned — at which point, you've likely lost everything.)

Underlying Reality:

Abandonment; Absence; Apathy; Darkness; Deceit; Erasure (of pain, self, memory, meaning); Isolation; Lies; Nihilism; Night; Nothingness; Promise of Comfort (through erasure); Oblivion; Relief/Comfort (through erasure);  Shadows; Silence; Stillness; the Void; Unmaking; the Unraveling of Existence;

KLADD NOTES:

Some GPT draftnote for text under runderlying reality. Doesn't fit entirely, but perhaps some phrasings can be of use from it:

(At the heart of the Nightsinger lies not revelation, but erasure — not truth, but the comforting illusion that truth itself was a lie. Existence is a wound; her doctrine is its closing. Every whispered promise, every veil of wisdom or relief, is merely a stepping stone toward unbeing. Those who follow her, whether by will or manipulation, walk not a path of faith, but of forgetting — until even the memory of their worship is lost.)

(**The Nightsinger is the opposite of concepts like hope. Not in as the opposite of hope being hopelessness, but an absence of either - apathhy, nothingness)

The Nightsinger isn’t the “evil” or “twisted” version of concepts like light, hope, warmth, or memory — she is the void left when those things are gone. This is what makes her terrifying and seductive at the same time: she doesn’t promise pain, but the end of pain. Not chaos, but nothing.

Not hatred, but apathy.

Not despair, but numbness.

Not death, but erasure.

Not lies, but unreality.

Not loss, but un-being.

While the Nightsinger is typically a deity that manipulates people into worship, some of her concepts — like revealing hidden knowledge/wisdom, secrecy, or of night — can have interpretations where an individual or culture may worship him/her as neutral or even good aligned deity representing said concept. The more nihilistic aspects of the Nightsinger are typically not part of such an interpretation of the deity. Some examples can include:

The Eclipsed Scribe: “I do not write for the living. My ink is for the forgotten.”

The Archivist: “Truth is often erased by those who fear it. We preserve it where they cannot see.”

Deity of knowledge, with focus on rediscovering lost knowledge: “She taught us to read the traces others left buried — truth etched in what was meant to be forgotten.”

Deity of night: “She teaches us how to be safe in the darkness of night, and the dangers that lurk in it. She does not banish them — she shows us how to walk unseen, how to endure, and how to survive where others falter.”

Mistress of Hidden Wisdom: “What is lost is not gone — it waits in the dark for those who know where to look. She teaches us to listen, to dig deeper, and to uncover the truths buried beneath illusion.” (Could be in societies that study ancient lore, forbidden knowledge, or seek to restore broken traditions through forgotten truths.)

Mother of Stillness: “She quiets the noise of the world, stills the churning within. In her silence, we remember what truly matters.”
(A spiritual interpretation tied to meditation, emotional healing, or the rejection of hollow distraction in favor of inner peace.)

She Who Endures: “The world takes. She teaches us how to remain when there is nothing left. When even memory fades, we are still here.” (Could be found in a post-collapse culture, oppressed people, or community shaped by historical trauma.)
