The Mockery

"There is no honor in war. War is brutality and bloodshed. Once you see this—that someone ALWAYS suffers in war—you’ll realize that it’s better to be the one holding the blade rather than the one who bleeds. Thus is the truth of the Mockery."

The Sovereign of Betrayal and Bloodshed, the Mockery represents dishonorable combat and unjust war. His worshipers include assassins, rogues, and evil warriors, as well as the infamous Flayed Hand.

He is known in some circles as the Betrayer and was once a member of the triumvirate of combat deities; his betrayal led to his flaying and banishment from the Sovereign Host.

The brother of Dol Arrah and Dol Dorn, the Mockery is portrayed as a ghastly human warrior with the skin stripped from his body, cloaked instead in the skins of his enemies, and sometimes as a half-fiend red dragon.
