Wyrmrak

Ironically, the god of dragons is among the weaker gods in Pavyra. This is mainly due to the nature of their charges: dragons are both big and not well organized. The sheer size of dragons means that Wyrmrak can never have as many worshippers as the other gods, as a hundred humans could live in the same area as one dragon needs. Plus, once these dragons are established, they don’t build large communities. If multiple dragons settle in the same area they will form relationships, but they lack the organized religion and grand churches humanoids will build for their gods. Dragons pray to Wyrmrak in smaller ways, such as a prayer for vengeance when their hoard is robbed or praising them after a great victory. A few dragons devote themselves to Wyrmrak, gaining divine spells from this worship, but dragon’s great power mixed with their inherent ego means that worshipping a higher power is not as common. Wyrmrak got a boost in strength from dragonfolk however. These draconic humanoids could organize in the numbers of other gods followers, and while they often worshipped their creator dragon as a god, that loyalty could be easily directed to Wyrmrak.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

The holy symbol of Wyrmrak is a pair of draconic heads with their necks intertwined.

Tenets of Faith

Wyrmrak's noble head preaches that the strong should uplift and defend the weak. Those with power should use it in aid of those without.

Wyrmrak's conquering head believes the opposite: the strong should rule the weak, bending those beneath them with their might. Take what you want and violently punish anyone who dares to oppose you.

There are a small handful of things that both heads can agree on however. Both heads preach magical power, believing it to be one of the many strengths of dragons. Magic runs through the veins of their charges, and they want that blossoming power to come to fruition. Both heads also desire large hoards, though they keep their hoards separate because even though they are one entity they treat each other as enemies. Both heads also value freedom and superiority. Dragons are obviously the greatest and most powerful creatures on Savinaru, they should not bow to anyone. Even Wyrmrak's noble head believes that it's better than those beneath it, it just wants to guide and protect those who are so clearly weaker than his mighty and powerful dragons.

Holidays

Dragons live either alone or in small groups and are so long lived that years mean little to them, so Wyrmrak has no annual holidays as humanoids would understand them. Major life events like the hatching of an egg, the death of a great dragon or a null dragon being infused with magic on the other hand are often cause for celebration. These are the days dragons call holidays, and nothing about dragons is small, including their festivities.

Physical Description

Body Features

While he can appear as any type of dragon, Wyrmrak's preferred body is that of a large muscular wyvern, with two hind legs and two wings that double as forelegs. Originally, he had a single head on the end of a serpentine neck, crowned with magnificent horns. However, as dragons evolved their culture, two distinct philosophies began to form: that dragons were the most powerful and important creatures on Savinaru and thus deserved to dominate everything and that dragons were given their immense strength to be protectors and shepherds of the smaller people beneath them. While both sides agree that their kind are among the strongest creatures in the world, these conflicting ideas of what to do with that strength have had a physical effect on their god. Trying to promote contrary ideals proved too much for Wyrmrak, whose head split in two. Now the god of dragons has two heads: one a wise and majestic sage and the other a ruthless conqueror. Each one on the end of a long, serpentine neck like the original, eternally bickering over their antithetical ideals.
