Lanranis
(a.k.a. The Warmonger, The Flame Lord, The Courageous One)
Lanranis is the Gorgorian god of war, strategy, valor, and fire. He is generally depicted as a Gorgorian male in a helm and armor, carrying a spear in his right hand and a shield on his left arm. Lanranis, along with Nesdaione, is one of the principal male gods in the Gorgorian pantheon. His massive following includes soldiers, mercenaries, tyrants, and the patriarchs of Gorgorian families. Lanranis's priesthood is almost entirely male, though there recently have been rumors of an eteros Honored One bearing the Warmonger's symbol being spotted on the roads around the ancestral Gorgoron lands. This rumor is considered by most to be nothing more than a tall tale, especially since Lanranis has not bestowed direct access to his power on a warrior in centuries. The last recorded Honored One of the Warmonger perished during the Second Gorgorian March. The largest temple in Lanranis's honor is in the archaic city-state of Rhithous, though there have been sporadic reports of this temple being the subject of strange happenings such as random earthquakes, missing ritual objects, and sacred fires snuffing out without explanation. Temples to Lanranis in mixed population areas such as Kydyras report no such issues, though the Gorgorian cities have been tight-lipped about what may be happening within their walls. The source of this disquiet is unknown at this time. [Author's Note: An Honored One is basically a paladin]"Let the battle rage flow. That is our offering: shield din and blood splatter."- quote attributed to Isagoras Eupatrid, a Gorgorian general and priest of the Warmonger, 1139 DX
