Ba-Rhad
Lead deity of the Oligarchy's Pantheon. Is is said that he created the world upon his anvil before summoning other gods to breath life into it.

Second he sought for Carrijon
Third he requested Witnear
Fourth he decided on Rae-Diant
Fifth he settled on Jor-Done
And lastly Jover snuck his way in and refused to leave
Also known as- The Forge-King and Worldfather
Domains: Forge, Order, Creation
Holy Symbol- An Anvil sitting in the heart of a stylized sun
Personality- Stern but fair. Even tempered as desirable for a leader, Ba-Rhad is said to be a fair and even god. He rarely takes sides in conflicts, instead chosing to allow mortals and gods alike to make their choices and live with their mistakes.
While he is slow to anger, Ba-Rhad's judgment is unyielding. He doesn’t involve himself in petty squabbles or wars, instead allowing mortals and gods alike to make their own choices. Those who follow Ba-Rhad are taught that the forge is not only a tool for creation, but also for destruction and rebirth—an act of balance. If a being’s creation falters or falls, it must be remade, as the forge does not shy away from trials, and neither should they.
Ba-Rhad is a god of stability. He believes that creation, whether it be a work of art, a divine soul, or even a nation, must undergo an orderly process. Anything done hastily or without respect for the natural flow of the world is an affront to him. His followers are taught patience, as Ba-Rhad himself is a patient god. He believes in the gradual, painstaking labor of creation as nothing of true value is created in haste.
Clergy- The Steel Clerics- an hybrid order of priest and blacksmiths. Their order is oddly decentralized and wide spread
