Holy Books & Codes
Juhenra has no written codes as his teachings are passed on through tales and song, They all tend to revolve around fighting fair
proving your worth and your tribes worth by hunting down dangerous beasts and monsters "though the perspective of a monster is up to the paladin, this could be slavers, bandits and pirates." Celebrating your glory's is also a key factor in his teachings, if anyone who wishes to learn of junhenra they can simply go to a tavern and listen to a paladin or knight or cleric speak of his tales in song.
He does have several books about his adventures though they only offer a good nights read than any religious teaching as that was a gift the akrett gave to ashen tribes to remember their hero.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Juhenra uses the symbol of a Longsword stuck in the ground with thorned vines ensnaring it.
Tenets of Faith
1. Do not shame those who cannot fight, there are battled waged as hard in a mortals heart and the demons their are more cruel than the monsters we fight with a Blade or Spell.
2. An honourable fight is a glorious one, there is no honour in sabotage or giving yourself an advantage, you must fight on a equal winnable term.
3.Monsters come in all shapes and sizes, Fight them tooth and nail, blade and spell, bow or spear, Fight them with every fiber of Your soul!
4. Take honour and pride in your victories but do not diminish another victories, Killing a Monster is easy to some, while standing up to a abuser is just as heroic.
5. Remember your tribe, your people while your glory is your own, remember why you fight, without a cause your honour and glory means nothing.

((this Holiday is known at Brackelbrin))
2.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Juhenra is a ascended god of valour and glory, ((ascended were once mortal that when they died came back and spread their influence over the world if their tale spreads far enough they are able to become a god.
Juhenra story starts a Brave warrior and hunter of the Alitari tribe during a choatic period of known as the "Malice war (as the Akrett named it later on)" which was when the ashen and akrett were forced to unite to fight off the influence of Zelphiel the lord of malice which sought to turn the continent into a playground for his games and the mortals his playthings,sending his minions and cultists to corrupt everything with their infectious maliciousness and gleeful intent, determined to break the hardy and noble people spirits and turning their home into a land of constant misery and torturous fun as well as prove a point that the Akrett eternal king is just some mortal who got to big for their breeches, or at least that is what the mortals believe was the reason Zelphiel came, as he attacked during the birthday and national festival of the eternal king.
Juhenra could not stand by while hits evil Shadverun god sought to destroy everything he held dear, but also saw this time with great excitement to challenge and best all the monsters and warriors that crawled outta the outer plains seeking further glory for his tribe, he didn't bother fighting the simple and weak minded cultists the akrett could do that with thier fancy horses and magic, he instead choose to fight the monstrous and malignant creatures that spawned and the champions of the chaotic god had blessed that led the cultists, with only the times he spent celebrating at the tavern or campfire being just as legendary as his tales of combat.
There are over 500 tales and legends of the varies monsters and adventures that Juhenra went through all culminating in the final battle of the ashen and akrett vs the lord of malice kinions while the eternal king was fighting the lord of malice Juhenra and the ashen allies were against the most monstrous of the lord of malice creatures the most well known is the world first encounter against a false hydra though Juhenra fought bravely he died from his wounds slaying the hydra, giving the eternal king time to banish the Shadverun god without interference.
After this there was a year long feast known at the year of the long root or the king years if your akrett, to celebrate surviving, as well as plans of rebuilding, despite many of the gods monsters still remaining in the world and yet tales were spread of Junhenra spirit fighting or inspiring warriors to stand against these monsters and those who would take advantage of the aftermath, he tales grew more and more numerous were it was a surprise to no one that he was found to have ascended to the elfiry Pantheon of the God Valour and Glory, where he currently resides in his pocket of the Endoxos Dasos Realm where the wood elfiry pantheon Reside, his pocket is known as the Bulrinu Arena where souls of mighty warriors reside to feast and fight ((with the Star Stewards Permission)) and there is a legend that one day these warriors will be called forth to defend Elfiry kind in its time of need.

*Please read the multiple books of his other tales and legends, so far 45 have been catalogued with over 500 legends so far recalled and written down*
Failures & Embarrassments
If Juhenra had a fatal flaw it would be his inability to settle matters at home, although his intentions were noble as well as his courage and motives cannot be denied as good, he failed miserably as a lover and father, with his mate dying from disease alone while Juhenra was off fighting despite the reason he was away was to protect her and his offspring from the monsters threatening to come to them, while his three of four offspring defected to worship different Shadeverun and Alterderun gods, while his fourth child became Chieftain of the tribe leading it to prosperity though she remained distant to her father despite still loving him, as much as he tried to rectify these mistakes...he died to the hydra before he could reconcile with his other children.
The second failure he had was after his acension though this is far more amusing unless your the god himself, when his followers were asked by tye akrett what they were gonna name their order, they asked Juhenra spirit as it travelled, given how the spirit was far to focused on his task and didn't much care for this akrett nonsense he simple stated "Let them know us a thorns as they are been in my *removed due to it being told as children tale* since ive been fighting* so the followers returned thinking him serious told the akrett they were the knights of the iron thorn...a outburst and consequence that Juhenra has yet to get over as his symbol rather than being some kind of monster slaying symbol is just a sword wrapped in thorns which is still a very sore subject which still he gets mocked for by the Wood elfiry god of revelry for.
Morality & Philosophy
Junhenra Code does not necessarily dictate those who follow need to be good, Glory can gotten in many ways, killing monsters or great warriors does not require a virtues hearts, however given the ashen mentality towards tribe and kin many ashen make sure to spread the heroic side of the Juhenra story far and wide, Though not all take to the heroic part most do, especially with akrett, some consider Juhenra the god of blood bonds as well, or rather bonds forged in battle as it appears Juhenra does not care what race you are as long as you have the warrior spirit, giving his boons to akrett other types of elfiry and soltari.
One thing to note as although the bigger the monster helps, it also the difficulty as killing some of the smaller but equally tough creatures also is favourable to the god, as well as mortal warriors, though its important to note that Juhenra does not shame magic casters, as the crafty trade is just as valid as any sword or steel or bow, thieves and assassins however are not so welcome in his eyes.
Taboos
Juhenra Despises lies and dishonesty, as well as skulking around, as they are seen as tools for a coward.
