INFO:

Caen is the God of Murder. He rules the lowest of the Infernal Planes called “Desecration”. Tyrants who destroy their own citizenry or cause meaningless bloodshed across the entire countryside garner the attention of Caen.

The Deity of Murder is one of the oldest deities that sits in the Pantheon. Caen sits in the Pantheon, but he does so alone. Caen frequently seeks to charm Shahde' or trick her into his bed, but he has yet to take her from Brauun. Those that follow Caen are more than happy to kill and murder and cause pain to those around them for a favor from their god. They will often receive a ‘sign’ or vision in the form of a skinless wolf, running with a trail of blood following it, as a mark of favor from Caen. Many people who know of these visions call it the ‘Bloodied Boon”. Stigmata often times follows these visions, and when Caen comes to walk upon Thaaed, he does so in the form of a huge towering skinless Warg, or a ten-foot-tall bleeding, skinless man: his eyes lidless and face lipless in a gruesome grin of death and murder.
Caen is often linked to Brauun, and the two gods often do work together to achieve dark and evil ends, but both are secretly trying to kill the other to gain his portfolio. Caen laughs that Brauun is punished to his cell, but is equally jealous that the God of Tyranny is left free to gain power from his followers. Caen's anger stews that because of O'hl's punishment, he cannot work towards stealing Brauun's portfolio. Caen’s other jealousy is over Shahde’, as her love for Brauun is a spur in Caen’s side. Her rejection of Caen only fueled his own anger over Brauun .
Caen can hide his jealousy when the end justifies it. He works to overthrow Rasfor to gain control of the Source, and also finds himself on opposite sides of the celestial table from Dunnkan, Palyn, and other goodly Deities.

WORSHIPPERS:

His priests are known as "Bloodletters", while other followers of Caen are known as "Strifeguards”. Bloodletters rarely show themselves or reveal themselves as priests of Caen until the blade is already in the person's neck, and their lifeforce spills away. Bloodletters often will wear a red scarf around their neck, or a half mask of a blood red color as a silent nod to other Bloodletters.
