  Mortal Story
  Hordal was a writer in the Malroetan Empire, a man of words rather than arms. Yet through his imagination, he created something that would outlast empires: the concept of knights. His books, filled with tales of honor, quests, and noble duty, became wildly popular.
  When he retired to a remote home, admirers followed him, forming a village. That village grew into a kingdom, inspired by his ideals and protected by allies who believed in his vision. Over time, this kingdom became one of the most powerful on the continent.
  But Hordal was more than a dreamer. He was a master of intrigue, both in his writings and in life. His court became a stage where problems were solved not only by politics, but by sending knights on quests—missions that tested loyalty, courage, and cunning. The tales of these knights spread far and wide, shaping the very idea of what it meant to be noble, honorable, and bound by duty.
 
  Ascension
  Hordal’s influence was so profound that his name became synonymous with chivalry itself. His writings and intrigues shaped kingdoms, and his knights became archetypes across cultures. When he died, the reverence of those who lived by his code elevated him to godhood.
  Now, Hordal is worshipped as the god of Chivalry and Intrigue. He embodies both the shining ideal of the knight’s quest and the shadowed reality of politics and manipulation. His duality makes him a patron of both noble warriors and cunning courtiers.
