Segouh (Intermediate Orcish God)[/size] the Brute, the Savage, the powerfull Symbol:a bloodied fist. Alignment:Chaotic Evil. Portfolio:Massacre, Trickery, slaughter, cowardness, backstabing, Orcs Domains:Evil, trickery, war, destruction. Favored Weapon: Kya (fist)
Segouh (seh-go) is patron god of the orcs, many of the orcs from Rosca's Ring do not worship him but every other one probably do, its an evil, idiotic and brutish being with a big apetite. Segouh is known for its no mercy and also canibalism, many of the orcs worship him because they fear to unplease him. Segouh was said to be seen once as a large dark-green skin colour, with only animal skin covering his privates and beating the holy hell out of wild boars with his Kya's, Segouh has a strong body build and a face that shows his low inteligence, constantly drooling and with an upset look, he has a sort of dead yellow eyes with no pupils, and tatoos of his batles. He also carries as a belt a line of humanoid skulls.
There are various rituals the orcs do to please the bloodlust of Segouh, mainly envolving sacrifice. Day of feeding: once in every month, an orc is killed in an altar of each tribe, its head cut off and the blood gathered. Day of Anger: when a shaman sences that the god is upset, he warns the tribe, saying that Segouh is upset in how the village has gone peacefull and that the chief most be killed, one orc at a time chalenge the chief, if the chief is killed, the god is pleased, if 10 orc are killed, the god is pleased. Summoners day: twice a year, normaly during the hot season, a shaman tries to envoke the gods will into himself, speaking out what the god wishes, this often leads to war or the chiefs death. Bloodlust day: after a year, and after all the blood gathereting from Feeding day, one orc is randomly painted with this blood and then killed, the orc chosen would be the chief or the greatest warrior, this is the orcish way to give Segouh an army to destroy the other gods. These are the most common rituals and the most important that the orcs follow blindly, in fear of Segouh's anger.
History/Relationships:[/b]
Segouh came with the orcs to Fenmyr, a religion that a tribe adopted and that now is the most abundant in Fenmyr (for orcs ofcourse). Segouh often makes appearances in Fenmyr, often seen as a Tiger devouring an Orc or as a orc that fits the description given above. Segouh hates everything, is upset at everything, and he likes having new toys to brake, he hates all other gods that insult him and call him stupid, he wishes to destroy them and call THEM stupid, it is said that from the begening of time, Segouh has been gathering a powerfull enough army to destroy all gods. Segouh is not made up, he is quite real, for his appearances in the realm have caused confusion and many deaths in all countries.
Dogma:[/b] Always destroy those that are weaker then you. If it is not an Orc, destroy it. If it is an Orc, destroy it. Only the powerful survive, but all fall to Segouh.

Hanro (Lesser Orcish God)[/size] Orc Father, Tireless Warrior. Symbol: A minotaur-like figurine (representing the bulls power) Alignment: Chaotic Neutral/ True Neutral Portfolio:Honour, Strengh, Power, Leadership, Bravery, Rosca's Ring (Patron deity). Domains:Strengh, War. Favored Weapon: "Bulls Horns" (two spiked morningstars)
Hanro (hAn-ro) was the first orc, a brave warrior, a creature with such strengh that He managed to out power ten bulls as the legend goes, Hanro was a superior race, a superior being, smarter then anyone, stronger then anyone, won every batle and never caught much attencion to himself, he is said to be 8 feet tall, with tree trunk arms, stone cut face features and dark eyes, so intence, so fearse. Also Hanro is known for fighting with a morningstar in each hand, known as the Bulls Horns, he spinned in the field making a tornado like motion that would sweep any friend or foe near him to death, he would be unstable, dangerous, powerfull, undefeated. He would wear Dark red clothes, and would have enormous black-as-a-ravens-backside hair, often said that the black wolf is Hanro's companion.
Hanro means father in orcish, many people get confused by the fact that they can speak to their God as if it was their father, truth is, the Orcs in Rosca's Ring (and mainly just these) have a very high consideration for their fathers, this god is seen by the orcs as a fatherly figure, the first true orc and the creator of the orcs, Hanro was the name of the god, and so the word Hanro also gained a second meaning, "father". Hanro is a very lonely god, disliked by many and mistrusted by the rest, his only companion is a huge black wolf known as Grorath.
The faith of Hanro is commonly ONLY worshiped by orc and orc-like creatures, possibly, Half-orcs and Minotaurs, for the apperance of Hanro is uncertain and discussed by these races. Any other race or being that would worship Hanro is very rare and odd, sence he is considered to be evil by many due to his War mongering, considered insane due to his fighting style, and considered barbaric and primative due to his lifestyle. Hanro can hardly be considered a church, but a figure that inspires courage. Hanro is said to be more a "made up legend" then an actualy deity, but for the Orcs, he is very real.
There are no holidays, there are no ceebrations made for Hanro, but there is a death ritual that the orcs from Rosca's Ring take very seriusly, this ritual was made in Hanros honour and it serves to preserve the soul of the dead orc and to give him a passage way to Hanros' haven of heros. The death ritual consist in beheading the orc and cleaning its skull to perfection, all the organs are removed and the rest of the body would be placed on the place of death (sometimes the body is carryied out into Roscas Ring and dug in the valley, rarely though), the skull would then be handed out to the father (hanro is orcish) or the head leader (hanro in orcish), where they would then place the skull on a legendary monument of stone, next to other thousands, and forever shall that orc live in honour.
History/Relationships:[/b]
Hanro was not a religion that was brought with the orcs to Fenmyr, but yes, one of the orcs that arrived in Fenmyr many years ago, ofcourse, he toke a part in the wars against the Sillilnyme on arrival, but on continous disagreance with the mundane trickery and cowardly war tactics the more common orcs had, but Hanro was an amazingly powerull and skilled warrior to have. but he had something that was strange for orcs, he had a code of honour, he was disciplined and well read, the smaler orcs had a fear of Hanro, and so they would banish him from the group, on the seperation, a handfull of also skilled warriors followed Hanro, they battled the Sillilnyme head on in fearce garrila tactics, and Hanro was described (by the orcs and the elves) as if possessed by a demon. The other cowardly orcs used this trail Hanro was leaving as a road to leave Sillilnyme. Hanro made his home in a valley, his bloodline would continue on throughout history until the birth of Rosca. Hanro was the leader, the Shaman, the teacher and the role model the orcs that lived around him looked up opon, there is no known record of Hanros death, he would years later leave his village and go off exploring Fenmyr to never be seen again, it is believed he reached enlightenment and became a god, as the years pass, it is very common for all residents of Roscas Ring to worship this figure.
Ofcourse, any Elven patron dislikes Hanro, as does the Dwarven deities, Hanro has some relations to any gods that apreciate the art of war, but otherwise considered a savage and a brute.
Dogma:[/b] The more you batle, the more powerfull you become. The more you kill, more are the odds of facing someone worthy of your skill. The more power grows, the more enemies you gain to batle and kill.
