Prince of Strength
The domain of strength, named after one of the six mortal virtues, its meaning in this context, however, is slightly different. Those who believe in this prince are those who are ambitious, those capable of changing the world and those who stand up to do it. Pride, Honesty, Ambition... all are the virues of strength. To be strong is interpreted in so many different ways, from the physical strength to your mental fortitude and ability to resist temptation.
Current Prince
The origin of this prince are disputed as many claim this once-mighty warrior came from among their own ranks, however, as far as I could figure out its the easterners that had it right. Oriental culture seems to have given birth to a warrior, one of the feline descendance who was so righteous and such a figurehead for most soldiers around them that most saw them as a living god. Upon their death, which happened in battle no doubt, they were said to have met with the creator. Who bestowed the powers to keep inspiring warriors all across the land.
Common Worshippers
The range of people who worship this prince are far and wide though generally honour-bound soldiers, raiders, pirates, mecenaries, and rulers of important places like kings and queens, sometimes even emperors and empresses pay upon this prince to bestow them and their underlings with the might and strength to endure the test of time. When it comes to alignment generally the neutral or good people seem to flock to the prince, where evil creatures tend to steer clear. Though tyrants may serve this prince in their own way.
Religion
There are generally no major organised religions of this faith, though the closest to such is the northerners a set of tough raiders who see bravery and honour as a virtue. The rare faiths that do exist out there are mostly cults and other lesser organisations. Common tenants among those who follow this faith are:
- Human Sacrifice
- The best way to prove our devotion is through the act of sacrifice. The most valuable sacrifice we can offer is the sacrifice of human life.
- Gruesome Festivals
- We are all born in blood. We survive by the blood of our livestock, our family, our foes. It is only natural that the gods demand their fair share.
Culture
Cultures that harbour this prince's values among their own often are a kind of warrior culture. Where strength, honour, and integrity is valued among the population while deceit, intrigue and other ways of getting your way silently are shunned. Fighters, Paladins, and Rangers are highly valued while Rogues, and Mages are despised.
