Ishmaar
The god of wrath, hate, demise, and all things putrid, Ishmaar sits almost at the top, watching the hate and war of the world that he loves so much. But the old books might disagree with this idea. Either way, those who follow him yearn for nothing more than to kill everything in their path, calling themselves Atatators.
Divine Domains
War, killing, and bloodshed.
Holy Books & Codes
The Sangiber was not written by any follower, as Ishmaar believed any and all mortals incapable of understanding what he said, so he wrote the book himself in 12 hours, and then gave it to the first man to commit homicide, Tanka, one of the first dark elves. He told the elf to guide his word, and spread bloodshed all throughout the realm. The elf took the book, and enlisted the help of hundreds of other like minded murderers, and together they copied the book 127 times, spreading them out and making sure one was in every major city and village.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
A crescent moon, which can be made of any silver or red material.
Tenets of Faith
The tenets of Ishmaar are pretty vicious, and go as follows:
Brutality. Killing the enemy is not enough, maiming the corpse and setting an example of its viscera is the best course of action.
No Mercy. Regardless of who they are, all foes must be killed quickly and swiftly, age, gender, battle-skill, and position do not matter once your sword is drawn.
Destroy the line. Once someone has wronged you, their deaths should not be the end of it. You should search through the lands, and find any and all of their family, and extinguish them, just as you did to the one who wronged you.
Let your Actions Speak for you. Do not negotiate with the enemy. They are to be killed once they have wronged you, and should not be giving court, let alone time to plead for their pathetic lives.

Holidays
There is a time when the Atatator do not fight, regardless of what the state of the world is, and that is during the 6th month of the year, Inutilis Facta Lunam, where they put their arms down, and meditate on the deaths they caused in the past year, and mourn them. Even the harshest of warriors take to doing this holiday as a sign of respect for Ishmaar, and the dead they have sent to the afterlife. Many refer to it as "The day of resting blades". The only reason that the vast majority of the Atatators aren't killed is because the Vicnorians are compelled to protect them. Why this is the case is unknown, even to them.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
There seems to be no real goal of Ishmaar. Simply the extermination of any and all life that Vicnor has created.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Taking the shape of a dark elf in most renditions, no one truly knows what Ishmaar looks like, and the ones who do, are no longer around to speak of it. In most renditions however, he is a high ranking Atatator wearing loose robes with long hair, and vibrant eyes.
Relationships
History
The first two to be spawned from Doppelt, Vicnor and Ishmaar found a deep love in one another. They fought after the birthing of mortals, and after a period of time which is now recognized as an "Amatallo" year, they regained their passion for one another. Things changed between the two however.
