Marduk
As thoughtful as he is creative, Marduk is the foremost protector of civilization and a tireless champion of mortals. At times acting as an informal leader of the The Pantheon, Marduk was the first to suggest the gods put order into the world.
While dedicated to order, some may say that he is so to a fault, with his priests at times accused of propping up tyrannical rulerships as they prefer an evil order over a good anarchy. The priests, in turn, will argue that chaos simply cannot be good - In the turmoil of anarchy, the weak are the first to be crushed.
He is associated with the Holy Weapon of the Inhullu, a holy wind with which he once defeated the Dragon Queen Tiamat as she tried to make her way to Gaia proper.
As god of Civilization, Marduk has taken an active hand in the rise of many rulers. Though Elohim was the most venerated god of the Taldoran Empire, Marduk was a close second and as instrumental in its rise as his more war-like brother.
Marduk values those who defend law and those who build and guard order. He is the patron of architects, politicians and officials. He is also venerated by explorers and colonizers, seeking to spread the joys of civilization to every corner of Gaia.
Marduk is most often portrayed as a tall man with a distinctive, tied beard or a golden gryphon.
