Parnoke, God of Victory and Protection

Defender of victory, lord protector and eternal rival to Tyrlus, Parnoke is the champion of the righteous and the devoted warriors. For every tyrant, there is a warrior willing to stand against them. Parnoke represents the watcher in the dark, the one ready to do what it necessary to keep darker forces at bay. Some tales tell of Parnoke acting as the eternal sentry to the celestial realm; those who wish to gain access to the gods must go through Parnoke first. Followers of Parnoke tend to be righteous Paladins, Lawmen and guardsmen.

Parnoke is often depicted as a figure in a full suit of armour, or as a Gold Dragon.
