Luthic (Loo-thic)
Overview
Luthic was the orc goddess of caves and daughter of Moldros, as well as the twin sister of Yurtrus. She the patron of female orcs, healing, and home. The Cave Mother was their maternal paragon, raising her brood under the earth to be strong and vicious, and she would fight with the savage determination of a mother bear to protect her children. She was the enduring bedrock on which orc culture rested, and the force of stability that kept the tribe grounded when Moldros's rage threatened to blow them apart.Divine Domains

Example Antipaladin Codes
- Uphold the sacredness of caves and dark places, for they are Luthic's domain and the very essence of the orcish soul.
- Stand as the protector and advocate of women, especially mothers, ensuring their well-being, respect, and place within the tribe.
- Embrace pain as a test and testament to one's strength. Use it to heal and fortify oneself and the tribe.
- Defend the young and weak with a fervor that rivals the most ferocious of beasts. They are the future and the legacy.
- Preserve the ancient rituals, customs, and stories of the orcs. Be the beacon of tradition in a world of change.
- Serve the tribe and its leaders, but always be ready to intercede if their actions endanger the well-being of the tribe's heart: its women and its young.
- While orcs are known for their rage and warfare, strive to balance this with periods of reflection, care, and nurturing. This is Luthic's way.
- Organize and participate in ceremonies that honor the land, the caves, and the underground springs. Remember that from the earth, strength and sustenance are drawn.
