Deity - Erif - Fire Demon

Lord Erif

Demon of fire and pain.
The End to a New Beginning.
Elemental Controller.
Erif oversees fire, he rules over the volcanoes and steam vents. While not overlooking his responsibilities under ground, his hobby is messing with mortals - causing pain and misery as he sees fit and to spite the gods.
The majority of Erif's followers are warlords and thieves looking to control and abuse others. He lends his powers to any who wish to abuse it for their own personal agendas, as long as they involve the misery of another or destruction of something.
Sacrifices are not required, but the more someone gives the more Erif pays attention to them. There is only one official shrine to Erif in Vibrum, there are no others - they were all destroyed in years past by Ahovz followers. A large pyre is lit in this Cathedral to Erif. Sacrifices must be thrown onto a raging fire with the sounds of drums ringing out nearby, the heat and noise draws the attention of the Demon and the fire will burst and extinguish with the offering gone.
Following this demon will give the holder immense power, but crossing the demon will subject them to his eternal rage.

Noted Signs of Faith:
There are no noted signs of faith for Erif, followers tend to do self scarification to show loyalty. The scars are typically done on the back by a trusted friend or family member, one scar is added per year of loyalty, and additional markings made when battles have been won in the name of Erif.

Appropriate Sacrifices/Gifts:

• Blood
• Animals
• Coal
• Fire
• Gold
• Battle Trophies
• Fireflies

Standings:
Erif is in good standing with none. Earth tolerates him, and will occasionally work with him when needed. They act as if brothers sometimes, but their intentions do not align. Water is his sister, but they are separated by land and water, Erif hides underground and Water stays on the coasts or in the oceans. They have not spoken in some time. Erif thinks Lun is still a child, and does not respect them, but leaves them be. Erif and Starz hate one another, and Ahovz is the focus of Erif's rage.
