Ote

General

A gloom dragon-like creature that has seemingly begun to gain power deep within the lands of the Unified Kobold Kingship. This dragon is said to be worshipped by the oath takers of Oteos's Chosen as the original spreader of the disease. Each member seemingly feeding themselves to the creature as their names appear upon the back of their twisted god in the form of a tombstone, forever remembered. Those of the order protect the old fat dragon that no longer chooses to move, many have noted a small group of mages who act as dedicated servant staff for all Otes needs. The dragon seems to offer powers to those of the order in exchange for its continued existence within the lands or so the stories go. However, as the years have gone on, Ote seems to have begun showing signs of divinity with so many worshippers and oath takers. Now he finds himself on the run if not slain, as the Unified Koboldkin Kingship is slowly absorbed by Grand Regin Uthem Grunaga. Ote was last reported within Diamond’s Death alongside many of his more powerful followers now serving as royal knights to Gregsmaratam.
 

Gods Name

Ote “Soul’s End”, “Diseases Gift”, and “Corrupter of the Twins”.
 

Diety Level

Demi God, though the number of followers by the Helmgrind war would see Ote rise to Full God power fully under the control of Gregsmaratam.
 

Domain

Evil, though later he would adopt Soul and continue to serve Evil properly. Swearing his fealty to the Law Bearer of Darkness, Ote uses his powers to continue spreading evil wherever the world sees good. Corrupting the kindest and turning them against the world.
 

Races that Follow

Koboldkin and Jotun’s find themselves the most common amongst the following of Ote. With many koboldkin believing they can become full dragons if they serve Ote to a satisfactory level. Being reborn as dragons as they give their lives to Ote and a few years of service until such a time. While Jotuns who find themselves banished from the main clans of the Grunaga are common to serve Ote for hopes of gaining power quickly. As many see such a weak god as a potential to gain influence over and championhood or even a potential shot at godhood themselves.
 

Preferred Item

Spiked Chains as a whip is the most common item each member of Otes following carries. Each spike is said to be laced with a medicine that makes the skin and body more sensitive to the touch. Causing further pain for those hit by it, and the joy of those who worship Ote as they hear the screams.
 

Church/Pantheon

Due to being Evil few gods will welcome what negative connotations comes with it into their church. However Ote has built his own churches called Oteo’s Chosen Belief, and does have quite a large amount of unholy men who stay to the criminal underworld.
 

Holy Order

Oteos's Chosen

An order of oath takers who have given up their hearing within the first age in exchange for great power and service to the order. Those amongst its ranks are numbered to be 600 paladins and 200 monks, with three capable high ranked oath takers noted as Zakris's Swords.
 

Champion

Folkví "The Last Grave", a koboldkin who is believed to be of the same clan as Ote. Folkvi is well known for his strange whip that has multiple double headed axes at the end of them. The weapon is beloved by Ote so much that he granted it a divine blessing of its own and deemed it “First Grave”, before giving Folkvi his own title. It is said that even now during the Helmgrind war, Folkvi is still alive, with many noting his involvement in Gregsmaratam’s attempts to pacify his goblin neighbors.
 

Symbol

An empty gravestone on a necklace, as each piece of gravestone is said to represent the final rest for its members. Some are said to imbue their gravestone pieces with bits of rare metal or colorful ore, but they all appear the same. A simple iron chain, and a strangely carved piece of stone.
 

Creed

"The souls of the weak belong to the strong."
 

Follower Count

1,000 roughly, and most are noted after the fall of the kobold nation to have migrated to Diamond’s Death or Gemcutter’s Port.
 

Notable followers

The Three Swords of Zakris, each koboldkin of unknown origin and each dedicated to Ote and Zakris. They now stand as the personal knights of Gregsmaratam, protecting him wherever they go. Each is also a known Weapons Master of a specific martial technique and weapon.
