Nesdaione

(a.k.a. The Father God, The Great Snake, The Venomous One)

"This is the Father God's will. Let us leash them to it."
- Tyrant Menexenus Laertius while ordering the sacking of a Minoan island, 1104 DX

Nesdaione is the Gorgorian god willpower, poisons, dominance, and water. He is often depicted as a crowned Gorgorian male seated on a throne, with a bowl of liquid in his left hand and a chain in his right hand. Nesdaione, along with Lanranis, is one of the principal gods of the Gorgorian pantheon and is considered its leader. He is the favorite patron god of tyrants and patriarchs, though many Gorgorons pray to the Father God no matter their station in life. Temples to Nesidaione are found in nearly every city-state run by Gorgorons, with the largest and most lavish looming on a hill at the center of Argea. However, due to the god's ties to the more harsh and traditional ways of the Gorgorian people, it is exceedingly rare to find a temple in his honor in mixed population cities. He is the only Gorgorian deity without a temple in Kydyras.
