Ar-Saku
The Warchief of Beasts
Ar-Saku used to travel alongside His brothers within the Helisian Wastes. As He had traveled, He eventually found kinship with Krimp, the Warchief of Creation. This led to Krimp utilizing the services of Ar-Saku to provide beasts of burden to ease their toils in the Wastes. The hunting and taming of beasts had gained Him notoriety, and soon He joined Krakhorn, the Lord of Redemption, in His keep of Taz-Tugor as His Beastmaster. His mount is recognized as being a Warg.
Dogma
Ar-Saku is an extremely intimidating ogre. He loves the thrill of a hunt no matter how mundane the prey is and will pursue challenges that are sometimes greater than Himself. He teaches His followers hunting techniques that embolden the feral instincts that lie dormant within every worshipper. Ar-Saku shares Krakhorn’s hatred of elves ever since his chance encounters with Caladon, the Immortal Idol of Vengeance and Pacts.
Gaining Favor or Redemption
To gain favor with Ar-Saku, one has to embrace their instincts, find control in those instincts, and defend their “pack”. To fail in these is to lose favor with Ar-Saku and redemption is only gained through the blessing of Krakhorn, the Lord of Redemption.
Ranking requirements
Only those who are of a divine ranking of 2 (Abbot) have earned the chance to worship Ar-Saku.
When an orc has experienced the separation between civilized warfare and pack tactics, they will have gained an understanding of what it means to be a part of warband. Ar-Saku is oftentimes viewed as the Warchief of Beasts due to how He is represented as a massive feral ogre. With this in mind, for an orc to become a true melding of both instincts and strategy then they must hunt for their warband as either a soldier or as a grand hunter. Gaining insight on Ar-Saku’s guidance and performing His tasks will earn His favor and eventually you earn His blessing of promotion. This promotion allows one's prayers to be heard from Az-Bror, Ur-Edin, and Ur-Gram. Religious promotion does not prevent one from praying to their prior deities and thus Ar-Saku, as well as the other Warchiefs, can still be sought for guidance.
