Berilor, God of Honor

The yin to Carcon's yang, Berilor is revered by those who emerge victorious from the battles both in war and in their personal lives, as well as those who honor the fallen who safeguarded their lives. Where Carcon embodies the fury of the warring, Berilor embodies the triumph that follows—the hard-earned peace and the memory of sacrifice.   Statues of Berilor often grace military graveyards, his vigilant gaze cast over the resting souls of warriors. Sculptors believe it is he who stands sentinel, ensuring that the spirits of the fallen find solace and that their sacrifices are never forgotten. For those who fight, Berilor is a symbol that they battle not for destruction, but for a cause greater than themselves—a legacy of hope, protection, and the promise of a better future.

Origin

Born from the blood spilled by Carcon in his brutal clash with Lumair after the first mortal war, Berilor emerged not as a deity of carnage, but as a symbol of triumph. As mortals reveled in hard-fought victory upon the blood-soaked battlefield, they beheld a figure rising from the fallen—their instincts naming him Berilor, a God born of victory itself.   In that moment, Berilor learned the deeper meaning of victory—it was not simply conquest or domination, but the celebration of perseverance, the hope forged from struggle, and the camaraderie of those who stand together after the storm. Since then, Berilor has devoted himself to guiding mortals toward triumph, not just in war but in every challenge life presents. Whether it's the resolve to overcome hardship, the determination to achieve one's goals, or the strength to stand after a loss, Berilor walks alongside those who seek to claim their own victories.

• Lumair: Lumair being his adoptive father, Berilor’s beliefs in justice and honor stem from Lumair’s teachings, and as such, whenever he finds himself questioning his motives, he’ll seek out Lumair for advice.
• Aedis: As his adopted sister Berilor cares greatly for Aedis, she also has a tendency to poke holes in his theology.
