[QUOTE="Kerrwyn, post: 732435, member: 10408"] [U]Biral [/U] [I]Trickster, Weaver of Lies, Strifemaker[/I] Greater God Symbol: Bright blue flame Alignment: Chaotic Evil Portfolio: Betrayal, deception, lies, illusion, secrecy Worshipers: Rogues, assassins, tricksters, illusionists Clerical Alignments: CN, NE, CE Favored Weapon: Gouger (Dagger) Domains: Chaos, Evil, Fire, Magic, Trickery General Description: Biral predates all the other gods except Bayl. He was formed of the Fire that the Dragon brought from the sky and was intended to be Bayl’s scribe and keeper of knowledge. Biral soon rebelled, and has begun to take his intended job of guarding knowledge to the extreme by hoarding the secrets of other beings. Legends hold Biral as the very concept of Chaos itself, ever changing and unpredictable. His appearance varies from day to day, and the only constant are the piercing green eyes that whatever form he takes possesses. History and Relationships: Biral betrayed Bayl in the beginning, and has opposed him and his children ever since. Because of this, Biral has but one ally: Serrah, the twisted mockery of Terra that he created from a dead cypress tree. Even Bayl’s dark son, Shale, feuds with Biral. Dogma: Biral’s clergy believe in secrecy, deception, and lies. A follower of the Weaver of Lies is expected to reveal nothing, hoard knowledge, and spread untruths in his wake. The only purity the church of Biral believes in is that of fire, and it is their ultimate goal to see the world bathed in it. However, this is not the front that the temples put up to society. The faithful have a set place in society, but few respect them, and many actually fear a known devout of the Trickster. On a more positive note, the cult of Biral can be counted on to put people in their place, whether by practical joke, defamation, or, in extreme cases, political assassination, though some faithful excel in the more lethal form of assassination. Holy Days and Holy Ground: Much of the worship of Biral is kept a secret, but a few holy days are known to the general public, such as the Feast of Fools, held at the beginning of spring, when Biral’s faithful host town-wide feasts. To not attend is to invite disaster and bad luck into your household for the next year, so most common people at least show up for a while. The cult celebrates by telling jokes and performing for the people, and this is the one day that followers of the Strifemaker can be counted on to appear almost normal. Omens and Prophecies: Biral’s followers find omens in flame, such as when a fire burns an abnormal color. They also see natural, destructive fires as a mark of their god’s displeasure. Other Races: Biral is known as Lyred to elves, and may grant the Drow domain to especially evil elves. He is known as Norun to the dwarves, and Byran to giants, but grants neither any extra domain. Artifacts: Gouger, the dagger that gouged out Bayl’s right eye. Clerical Multiclass: Clerics of the Strifemaker may multiclass freely as bards, rogues, wizards, arcane devotees, arcane tricksters, assassins, divine seekers, and elemental savants.
