Arjesh, the Merciless Conqueror
Father War, War Eternal, The Inevitable
Lore
Arjesh is the embodiment of war as an inevitability—not a tool of chaos, but a force of absolute domination. To him, battle is not about reckless slaughter but merciless annihilation, carried out with unwavering precision and ruthless discipline. Brute force alone is meaningless; true power lies in the will to conquer and the strength to rule.
During the divine conflicts that shaped the world, Arjesh stood apart from the other gods, fighting not for land or ideology but for conquest itself. When the Greater Deities withdrew, he did not rest—he sent his servants forth, forging terrible monsters and brutal warbands to carry on his eternal war.
Worship & Influence
His most devoted followers are the orcs, who see war as a sacred duty. Many orcish warlords claim to receive visions of destruction, conquest, and glory, commanding them to march, burn, and subjugate in his name. His temples, built atop the ruins of fallen cities, stand as grim reminders of his will—adorned with the weapons and banners of the defeated.
Beyond mortals, Arjesh commands immortal followers as well. Mighty dragons bow to his doctrine of dominance, and lesser deities serve at his beck and call, ensuring that his vision of endless war is carried out across the realms.

Tenets of Faith
Arjesh' teachings demand obedience, strength, and absolute conquest:
- No Mercy for the Weak – Power is the only true law. The weak exist solely to serve or be destroyed.
- War is Eternal – There is no peace, only the brief stillness before the next battle. Prepare always.
- Conquer, Then Rule – A ruler must claim dominion, enforcing order through fear and strength.
