Pythor

God of Strength and Battle

"Step aside, sister. If this goes poorly, you can lecture my corpse tomorrow." - Pythor, to Vallus, before his first death at the Battle of Lethe, 17 CE

As one of the Five, Pythor is revered as the god of strength and battle. He fought tirelessly in the First War, driving back centaurs and gygans that threatened to overwhelm the city of Mytros. Many songs record his legendary exploits on the battlefield, while many others list his conquests in the bedroom.
In 330 CE, Pythor overthrew the tyrant king Lysis Arkelander and took the throne of Estoria. He has ruled that city as king and god for almost two hundred years now. His people love him, even though he has been a terrible king, prone to drunkenness and nostalgic ramblings about his past glories.
Pythor appears to be a tall, copper-haired man carrying a mithral axe. For centuries, he has walked among the settlers, taking mortals as lovers and fathering countless demi-god children. Although he wishes them all well, he takes no responsibility for any of his brood, except two: his favourite daughter Anora, and his favourite son Testicles.

History.

A Meeting with the God-King.

Pythor first met the Heroes of the Prophecy when they came to his city looking to begin their Great Labours. They had an audience with the God-King in his palace. Pythor was in the admist of depression and drunkeness as he had been told to choose between sacrificing his favourite daughter or his city to Sydon. The Heroes agreed to save Pythor's daughter Anora by switching places with her, knowing Gaius, the leader of The Order of Sydon, would not be able to resist. Pythor gifted the Heroes his hammer in exchange for saving his daughter and swore an oath of service to them as they had willingly sacrificed the Great Boar to him. Pythor remained within his city for the next few days, until he got a summons from his sister Vallus. He then met up with his son Testicles and travelled to the Great Palace in Mytros.
