Physical Description
Art By: Ralph Horsley
Body Features
The epitome of sculptured perfect, Hextor appears a six-armed muscular man that towers over his foes with his menacing intensity. He bears no scars and his rippling muscles appear like could take down mountains which, with his divine power, can.Facial Features
Hextor has a strong chiseled jaw-line and a menacing scowl. He has a brownish beard that hangs from his face and a seemingly shaved head. His eyes are a piercing blue that even the strongest people of will cannot stare into.Identifying Characteristics
Perhaps his most distinctive characteristic is his six arms all wielding a different weapon of war. He wears very light armor, mostly around his legs and waist, preferring his chest and arms to have a free range of movement.Personal Characteristics
Accomplishments & Achievements
Hextor's greatest accomplishment to date is overthrowing an entire continent once belonging to his brother and eternal enemy, Heironeous. For more than a millennia, the only legal sanctioned religion has been Hextorian. As such, Hextor has gone from being an intermediate deity to a great one and one of the most exclusively worshipped deities on the face of Oryth. He also takes much pride in that he was able to throw Heironeous into the moon, Rybis, obliterating it.Failures & Embarrassments
His greatest failure was to experience death at the hands of four mortals that ascended to godhood. He hates any mention of The Ascended and actively seeks to smith any who might be reincarnations of the lost deities.Taboos
The greatest taboo of Hextor is the opposite of his War Portfolio. Being the prominent god of war in Oryth, he uses its concept to fuel his power and the majority of prayers that collect for his consumption are during times of war specifically on the battlefield. Should war cease to be, it is said, so too would Hextor. This is why devout worshippers of Hextor such as the High Harbinger, Faruko de Ivalon, are weary of Adinimus for agreeing to the Laws of War with the High King of Hroff.Motivation
Hextor is motivated by two things, battle, and power; Two things Oryth offers in droves and why he has such interest in the Material Plane. Though he resides on Acheron, the plane of endless battle, he aspires to one day rule the Material and turns it into one everlasting battlefield until everyone and everything bends a knee to him. At which point, he will find a champion among them to ascend to his plane and take his throne in his stronghold so he can build his new fort on Oryth.Divine Qualities
Divine Domains
Those blessed with the divine by Hextor specialize in different domains. The most common among the Clerics are the domains of the Grave, Life, Order, Tempest, and War with War being the most prominent. War Spellbreakers make up the majority of the Harbingers of Tok and widely feared for their terrifying power.Holy Books & Codes
Dogma
The church of Hextor teaches that the world is a harsh, unforgiving place. The strong rule the weak, and power is the only reward worth having. Cruelty and mercilessness are necessary tools. Order must be forged from Chaos and law from anarchy, but order is meaningless without the will to enforce it. Tyrants are to be obeyed, and dissenters are to be oppressed or killed. Slaves must obey their masters.
