Ruer

Ruer, the Ravager, is a Prime god of the Renegades' Pantheon. He is a god of conquest, oppression, strength and raw survival in the wilderness. Those, who value power and their own lives more than nature, seek his guidance in the toughest of times, while living in the wastes and wilderness. Many tribes in the wastes and wild regions of Sarmatan, as well as orcs and goblinoid races, consider the Ravager as their main deity and saviour.
The Ravager for millennia now fights over the control of nomadic tribes and nature itself with Dzevana and Perun, sharing with them the domains of nature and war respectively.   Contents    

Appearance


The Ravager is depicted as a tall and muscular man, with earthy, rough skin, seven heads and expressive fangs that protrude from each of his lower lips. A large wolf skull cover the upper part of the central Ravager's head, complementing the red shine from his eyes. Leather armour adorns only his arms and legs, while the torso is only partially covered with animal hide. Seven axes hang from his belt, and the eighth god holds in his hand.

Worship


The Ravager doesn't have his own church as it is - his worship is outright banned in Rosidor Empire and Dangean Kingdom, and is frowned upon in Sarmaria. That being said, his cult is still quite popular among nomadic tribes, especially orcish tribes, goblinoids such as goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears.
The faith of the Ravager is based on the idea of improving physical strength, surviving at any cost, valuing your own life over that of the weaker beings, and being in constant change and improvement of your own body and tribe. The Ravager doesn't approve of weakness, mercy, compassion and of stability, as in his dogma they are "a poison of the strong minds".
Almost all of the Ravager priests are shamans and elementalists. The only known sanctuary of the Ruer is located in the Rosidor Empire, near Redfin Peaks
 

Holidays


 
25 Hrosovyk - day of Raging Skies. A commonly known among followers of the Ravager holiday dedicated to him and his cult.
It believed that on this day, the Ravager casts his sight on the world of mortals, sending strong winds and storms, scorching sun, or any other natural phenomena, to test the resilience and strength of his worshippers.
His followers arrange a variety of tournaments, rites and trial, during which the participants do a variety of physical activities, fights, and challenges. Some of them most likely end up with injuries or sometimes death.
The day ends with a feast, during which people praise the wisdom and greatness of the Ravager, and thank him for his endless watch over them.
 

Commandments of the Ravager

  • The strongest rule the world. Be the strong.
  • Only the weak show mercy and compassion.
  • Do whatever it takes to survive. Take whatever you need to survive.
