King of the World, The Warlord, God of War
Revered as the Knight of the World and the Master of Chaotic Wars, Albiorix is the first son of Gishra and the only war god to be of the Prime Material Plane. The chaos of the battlefield is his true calling, even though he is the Keeper of the Second Celestial Gate. He prefers to be in the middle of the battle, laying waste to his enemies and causing his allies to tremble in his wake. Unlike Hadak, who is the master of war and tactics, Albiorix is the “war”, the chaos and the upheaval that it brings and levels on every participant. He is not a well liked god because of his ferocious behavior, there are few temples to this god, but those that stand are filled with fanatics of this god.
Dogma
War is the true test of the survival of the fittest and the separating of the weak from the strong and the victorious from the strong. The crux and joy of all life is the challenge between the victorious and the defeated. The battle is the determination of who lives a good life or who dies a painful torturous death.
Tenets
The King of the World, unlike Hadak, is a deity that seeks out battle and as such expects the same from his followers and priests. Known as the Laws of Chaos, Albiorix has set down his 12 principles for his priests to obey.
1) View every task set before you as one to be conquered.
2) Remain ever alert and remain alive.
3) Show no fear of the battle.
4) Use savagery and strong emotions to defeat the unbeatable.
5) Use reason and careful thought to defeat yourself.
6) Taste the blood of your opponents so that you may gain their strength in battle.
7) Never kill from a distance
8) Slay not for sheer joy.
9) Show mercy upon those that are easily defeated
10) Never trust an opponent
11) Work against those that would see freedom bound.
12) Let not the sun set upon your anger, settle your grievances even if you must battle into the morrow.
