The Nameless Martyr

The Second Brother of Oros

(a.k.a. the Forgotten One, the Shatterer)

The Nameless Martyr was the second brother of Oros, the deity who was sacrificed in the Shattering.   His original holy symbol, along with everything else about him (including what he even was the deity of), has been lost to time. In the Age of Kings he is represented by a pair of pale, wounded hands bound by red threads of fate.   Typical idols or icons of him are based across his sacrificial nature - so a funeral pyre, a bloody wrack, an endless knot, a chalice filled with blood, a heart pierced with a ritual blade, etc. are fairly common representations.
