Tyranny
Command with Dominating Authority
The draconian ruler whose word is law, the powerful crime lord who controls a city’s underworld with fear and violence, and the merchant monopolizing crucial commodities all worship at the altar of Tyranny- whether they realize it or not. Those who choose to follow tyrannical deities believe it will strengthen their own authority and power as they seek to dominate the world around them. While clerics of such gods will obey the will of those who are stronger, they will often happily overthrow such rulers or gods for the chance to take dominion for themselves.
