Krakhorn
The Lord of Redemption
Krakhorn is an orc warlord that was bound by the divine duties of many gods. His upbringing of war and tyranny is what molded His warpath. He gained a reliable council of orcs, ogres, trolls, and goblins to aid Him in His redemption from a monstrous warmonger into a reliable warlord. After the passing of Vurga, the Lady of Goblins, Krakhorn had made it His mission to find redemption for those that had been branded as traitorous, as exiles, and as outcasts. He is also a part of the Monster Pantheon as The Champion of Redemption. His mount is recognized as being a Dire Tiger.
Dogma
Krakhorn is a tyrant at heart, but will aid in the plights of the orcish peoples who have been wronged and slighted. He teaches those cast out from orc society how to overcome loss and find salvation through the rebirth of the soul. Krakhorn prefers to be worshipped by soldiers and leaders and shuns pacifism as it is a weakness in His eyes. Krakhorn maintains a deep hatred for elves, fey, and any malcontent outsiders that linger for too long on Shon.
Gaining Favor or Redemption
Krakhorn’s favor is gained through the pursuit of redemption. To try and improve one’s situation by seeking a spiritual awakening. They must endure the lessons of their Warchief deities and ruminate on what they had failed on. To be dishonorably discharged from their position is something that should be treated as a challenge to overcome instead of a punishment. To return and show that one is stronger than their leadership will eventually lead to that transgressor’s promotion.
Ranking requirements
Only those who are of a divine ranking of 13 Lord Chaplain have earned the chance to worship Krakhorn.
When an orc has embraced Krakhorn's tenets for redemption and what the purpose of redemption is truly for, they will have a necessary tool for becoming a leader amongst their warband. Gaining insight on Krakhorn'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 Vurga, the Lady of Goblins, or Death-In-Many-Shapes, the Lord of Survival. If one has already gained the favor of Vurga and Death-In-Many-Shapes, then they are given the privilege of worshipping Grabguts, the Overlord of Orcs. Religious promotion does not prevent one from praying to their prior deities and thus Krakhorn, as well as the other Warchiefs, can still be sought for guidance.
