Labrosar manifests as a regal yet monstrous figure, his proud and commanding countenance intertwined with grotesque, bestial features. His upper body exudes nobility, clad in ornately designed armor adorned with sigils of his dominion, while his lower half hints at monstrous transformations—clawed feet, a lashing tail, or spined growths. His piercing, golden eyes radiate an aura of arrogance, while his booming voice carries both authority and menace. Labrosar’s form shifts subtly to reflect the monstrous aspects of his pride, a testament to his dominion over arrogance and creation.
Labrosar is a deity of supreme arrogance and calculated dominance. He views himself as the pinnacle of existence, reveling in the creations born of his pride and inspiring mortals to follow his example. Labrosar’s pride is not merely self-serving; it is a weapon he wields to manipulate and dominate others, fostering hubris that often leads to ruin. His creation of monstrous beings serves as both a demonstration of his power and a means of sowing fear and chaos. While he demands loyalty and admiration, he respects ambition and pride in others, provided it does not challenge his own supremacy.
Labrosar was once a god of worthy struggle, trials, and overcoming the monstrous within. But during the war, he judged both mortals and celestials as unworthy. Disgusted by weakness, he began to breed monstrosities—beings of perfect predation. He elevated pride into a virtue above all, remaking himself in the image of the beasts he once challenged others to defeat. His fall was not a collapse—it was an ascension into something grotesquely regal.
Desires and Motivations
Labrosar wishes to foster pride and arrogance, inspire the creation of monstrous beings as symbols of power, and dominate through the cultivation of hubris. He seeks to see mortals succumb to their own pride, unleash monstrous creations as reflections of his glory, and elevate himself above all other gods and mortals.
Labrosar’s origins lie in the arrogance of the first mortal rulers who sought to elevate themselves to godhood. Their hubris gave rise to a deity who embodied their ambition and the monstrous consequences of their unchecked pride. Legends tell of Labrosar shaping the first monstrous beings from the essence of those rulers, imbuing them with both power and vanity. Over time, Labrosar’s influence spread, cultivating pride in mortals and encouraging the creation of monstrosities as extensions of their ambition.
Labrosar’s domain, The Gilded Menagerie, is a grand and imposing realm filled with towering palaces and sprawling arenas. The landscape is dominated by colossal monuments to his glory, each guarded by monstrous creations that reflect his dominion. At the heart of the menagerie lies The Throne of Supremacy, a golden seat surrounded by writhing, obedient monstrosities. This realm serves as both a testament to his pride and a proving ground for his creations, where only the strongest and most arrogant survive.
Labrosar’s followers are those who see pride as a virtue and monsters as the ultimate expression of power. The Monstrum Legion, his cult, is a hierarchical organization that glorifies hubris and monstrous transformation. Members are often powerful rulers, ambitious alchemists, or warlords seeking to create and command monstrosities. They view their monstrous creations as both symbols of their devotion and tools to dominate others. The Monstrum Legion is a structured and hierarchical order dedicated to fostering pride and creating monstrous beings as symbols of power.
The leader of the legion is the Pride Primarch, a regal and arrogant figure who instills hubris in followers and oversees the creation of monstrous beings as tributes to Labrosar’s glory.
