Torn

"I anoint myself with the blood of Torn that I shall not fear to bleed. I pledge myself to Torn's work that I shall not fear to suffer. I give myself to Torn, that I shall not fear to die.''" — Initiation

Torn is the God of War, winter and wolves. Torn is by far the most war-like of all the gods of the worlds Pantheons, embodying all of Mankind's courage, strength and power in the face of overwhelming odds. He is said to smile upon feats of valor, strength and blood-drenched warrior skill, and is the patron of proud warriors who set themselves against the odds and emerge triumphant through strength and skill. On one side of his nature, Torn is the embodiment of honor and courage, and to those that has put his faith in Torn are just as likely to be an honorable warrior as he is a blood-crazed killer, and often times it is that he shall be both at the same time. It is also due to the warrior-code of the devotees of Torn, who believe it is the solemn right of every warrior to die an honorable death in battle with sword and axe in hand. Torn is commonly depicted as a hulking warrior clad in furs and iron armor, thus appearing much akin to the barbarian warriors of the ancient tribes. His hair and beard are white with hoarfrost, and he always bears a massive weapon. At his side are two great, snarling wolves. Other depictions of Torn portray him as a massive white wolf.
