[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 8019429, member: 27957"] I have and continue to push for a universalist pantheon over one with race specific gods, so I suppose that's an unstated assumption of my take. A punk rock Gruumsh that human kingdoms try to placate with festivals that don't disrupt the day to day order and hierarchy, while maybe the orcish tribes consider him their most revered patron who helped lead them out of slavery from their elven overlords many centuries ago. Although with that history Gruumsh is probably looked on very poorly in elven lands, a god of vandals and murderous insurrection whose cult is officially suppressed. This Gruumish wouldn't be a disfigured god who demands the same of his followers but a god who proudly wears the scars of war. Don't hide your scars, wear them openly and proudly. War and destruction leave marks on all parties involved, so display them as a badge of honor. The story of how Gruumsh lost an eye would be one of his most defining, but there are other stories of other scars, and every champion of Gruumsh has own litany of injuries and the battles that went with each of them.
