Tarsil
Created Race: Tiefling Tarsil was able to create the tieflings to have the most power out of any of the other races, as he left the work first to pour his power into his creations. The tieflings have strange and strong abilities, some have flight, all have magics, they are intimidating and demonic, much like their creator and absolutely ooze charisma and devilsh charm. The creation of the tieflings was an act of selfish pride, Tarsil made them in his own image, with his own character, and designed them to be like idols unto himself, while many tieflings try to break out of this mold, the care and power that was poured into them from their God makes it hard to stand above what they were born to be, and yet in some odd way, that makes most tiefling seek to overcome it even more.
Client Nation: League of Polania While the official state certainly does not approve of Tarsil, its lack of central power has allowed for the cults of Tarsil to flourish, many praying to Tarsil to grant them his power so that they can carve out their own kingdom and power. It's the only nation that doesn't have enough strength to suppress this most devious God, and so the tieflings who worship Tarsil have flocked to it, which only increases the worship of their God whom they preach can save the poor people of Polania.
Tenets of Religion: Greed, Lust, Pride, Gluttony and craving power are the main tenets of Tarsil's religion, he preaches that power belongs to those who take it, power is how all things are accomplished. He grants power to those with the drive and will to take it, while also not totally promoting evil tyranny, instead he teaches that his power can be used for good or ill, that power could be used in anyway those that wield it see fit, its the right of the powerful to rule over the weak, they could choose to be good or choose to be evil, that is their choice. Vices are a means to power, they are a driving cause for the reason to obtain power, if someone doesnt have a strong devotion, they wont obtain enough power. Devotion to one's own desires and ideals is the most important tenet of all. Tarsil stands as the preeminent lawful evil God, and while evil actions are often taken in his name, they dont always have evil outcomes if those blessed with his power use it to improve the lives of all those around them as is sometimes the case.
History: Tarsil has a most controversial past, one that is riddled with accusations of him being the cause of all the troubles in the world, and while this could be considered true, many who follow Tarsil believe that if he hadnt left the work, Vonaya would have left it sooner or later, he should not be criminalized for being the first God to act on his desires. Still, he did leave the work first, setting off the chain reaction that lead to Martius being bitter and resentful, which lead to The Devastation and all that came after. He was the first to fall to Martius, giving into his own pride and being tricked into defeat by the vengeful God.
Goals: He desires yet more power of course, it is rumored he is instructing his cults to infiltrate countries and other religions, like they are currently doing to Polania, so that he can siphon off power from the worship of other Gods, so he can gain control of these countries and increase his own power again and again. The other Gods have instructed their followers to remain vigilant towards these actions, yet again and again the followers and spawn of Tarsil continue to surprise and worm their way in and out of various situations time and again.
Rival Religion: Reborah is the most vocal and active enemy of Tarsil, her aasimar children and followers hound him at every step, their light burning away the shadows of his manipulations and deceptions, and just as often his shadows engulf their light, extinguishing them in the mire of temptation and addiction, heroes rise and fall between this eternal struggle, changing sides often and telling their great stories in this struggle between two sides of the same coin.
Attitude towards imprisonment: Unnervingly casual, Tarsil seems at ease in his cell, mocking his siblings and making jokes as he rests in his eternal prison. Naturally he has a plan to escape, likely involving the infiltration of other religions and nations, though his casual demeanor continues to dispel any attempts to decipher his plots.
