<p><strong>Law as a Weapon/Tool (/Binding and Exploitation)</strong></p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>

<h3>🔥 <strong>Gruumsh, the One-Eyed Flame</strong></h3>
|
||
<p><strong>Titles:</strong> The Ravager • Lord of the Burning Eye • God of the Broken Blade<br><strong>Domains:</strong> Fury, Strife, Survival, Conquest, Reclamation<br><strong>Symbol:</strong> A single burning eye over a jagged wound or flame</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p><i>"When the world breaks you, rise and break it in turn."</i></p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>Gruumsh is the god of rage-born survival — a divine force that answers pain with power, chains with wrath, injustice with blood. Once seen as the patron of orcs and warlords, his influence has grown among those crushed by empire, caste, or cruelty. He offers no mercy, no forgiveness — only the promise that your enemies will <strong>fear your strength</strong>, and your scars will become <strong>weapons</strong>.</p>
|
||
<p>To worship Gruumsh is to refuse surrender.<br>To believe in Gruumsh is to know that <strong>strength is truth</strong>, and that power reclaimed by force is justice.<br>He is not a god of chaos — he is a god of <strong>retribution born from order's failures</strong>.</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p><i>"Endurance is meaningless if it changes nothing. Rise. Rage. Take."</i></p>
|
||
</blockquote>
