The two-faced Bull
Katon, God of War and Peace
Katon, known as The Two-faced Bull, is the second child of Gigaldin, God of Chaos and Zeal. Unlike other gods who were carefully crafted or born from unions, Katon's birth was a violent and self-inflicted act; he tore himself from his progenitor, embodying the paradox of war and peace. This duality defines his existence, as he does not favor one state over the other but instead watches over the victims and consequences of both. Katon governs the paradoxical domains of war and peace. His presence is felt on battlefields and in moments of serene tranquility alike. He is depicted as a two-faced bull, one side fierce and scarred from countless battles, the other calm and serene, reflecting the balance and tension between conflict and harmony. Katon’s dual nature makes him a complex deity, embodying the inevitable interplay between destruction and reconciliation. Followers of Katon are often warriors, peacekeepers, diplomats, and those who navigate the spaces between conflict and resolution. They understand that war and peace are two sides of the same coin and that true wisdom lies in recognizing and respecting this balance. Devotees seek to honor both aspects of Katon, acknowledging the necessity of conflict and the value of peace. Katon's favor is bestowed upon those who navigate the delicate balance between conflict and resolution. His blessings might manifest as heightened combat skills, the ability to mediate and resolve disputes, or protection in times of both war and peace. Favored followers often find themselves in roles where they can influence the course of events, be it on the battlefield or in diplomatic arenas.Divine Domains
