| The Red One is a primeval god of mayhem and
slaughter. He cares little for so called civilized warfare, instead
his followers are known to perpetrate incredible acts of senseless
slaughter. The Red One is a supporter of ruthless mayhem and bloody
slaughter
Priests of The Red One are not common, they tend to hide their
affiliation from others. Temples to The Red One are nonexistent but small
shrines do exist in wild areas and shadowed dens. Due to their
ruthless actions and propensity for violence, most civilized areas will
not tolerate open worship of this fell deity.
History/Relationships: The first writings
of The Red One's disciples appeared shortly after the first cataclysm. It
is widely believed that his followers capitalized on the widespread
destruction and transformation caused by the first cataclysm. His
priesthood grew in the intervening years and it wasn't until civilization
began to return to some semblance of normalcy before the power of his priests
began to fade. Lately, the power of the priesthood is still high but
their secular nature leaves them without any real power in the world.
Although The Red One holds a close relationship with Ebrim,
all other deities look at him with distrust and suspicion. Due
to the savage and unreliable nature of his priests, most other priesthoods
as well as governments attempt to wipe them out when discovered.
Dogma: The Red One teaches that life
is savage and brutal. The strong take what they can and the weak
need be culled from existence. Priests of The Red One regularly sacrifice
living beings to their god. Berserkers who have no control over
their rage are often referred to as Red Children. It is widely believed
that The Red One curses some Berserkers who do not show proper respect for their
savage sides. |
