Azwan is the god of war, particularly war conducted honorably, as well as a the rule by righteous nobility. Many nobles of all beliefs worship Azwan, though those of tyrannical rule often fear his true believes. Generals and knights often follow Azwan as well, or at least pay him service. Azwan is also a common deity for Paladins.
Azwan is believed to have fought to maintain proper order among the gods, and has even defended the evil gods when it was deemed honorable and correct to do so. His worshipers tell a story of a time of where the gods had seemed to abandon Enworld, where Azwan arose to liberate the gods from a confinement to allow them to return to influence the world. The exact nature or gods defined in confinement seem to vary from story to story, but no other church disputes this. Azwan is also said to have played a part in the confining of Taurusk to the Labyrinth, though again, his part in that is unclear.
Azwan followers believe that honor in war is just as important as the war itself. Azwan followers are rarely those seeking power for selfish and vile reasons, as much as they are those seeking to maintain a rightful power, or to overthrow an abusive or tyrannical one.
Dedications to Azwan often including accepting or offering an honorable surrender in his name, swearing fealty to a proper lord in his name, or simply defending those who can not defend themselves. It is customary for warriors to receive a blessing from a priest of Azwan before heading into battle, and to give some small donation at such time.
One of the more confusing aspects of Azwan is his stance on freedom. It is generaly accepted that he supports those who stand up agains false rulers as well as tyranical rule. There has been some interpretation of this as followers fighting for personal freedom, and as a result, many worshipers are more aware of personal freedoms than they might otherwise be, though it is not a direct aspect of the deity.
