Kar-Vask, The Butcher of Mortals

The Dark God of War

"The great dark god Kar-Vask, marched through the field of corpses left by the first assault. It seemed for a second the battle had ended with his presence. None could move, enraptured by the aura of malice and hate that sprang from him. A moment later the fighting resumed. Men were driven to such savagery, such inhuman acts of cruelty, that i dare not speak of what i saw mere mortals do. The Butcher did not seem to care what side won the battle but both fought with the strength of beasts. Kar-Vask simply wanted more bloodshed to appease him. Loftis save me should i see the beast of war again!"
The original War god, Kar-Vask is a malevolent being that wants only to drive the mortal races to further bloodshed and atrocity. Many view him as nothing more than a bloodthirsty monster but the "Dark God of War" also represents loyalty and brotherhood, as war often fosters these relationships in conjunction with slaughter and chaos.
