Clashing Shore
As god of strength, battle, and weapons, Gorum makes his home a massive battlefield, devoted to the glory of these pursuits. The fortified keeps studding his kingdom face daily sieges and may crumble into rubble by the end of a battle, but reappear intact each dawn, and his rolling and bloodstained plains provide a place for his petitioners to wage continual, disordered combat, the entirety of their existence devoted to the heat and frenzy of battle. Unlike Cayden Cailean’s domain, where individual accomplishment and bravery are valued, Gorum and his souls care only for the heady rush of spilt blood and the violent glory of war.
Many might wonder why a god that cares nothing for morality would choose—or be allowed—to make his home on Elysium, a fundamentally good plane of existence. While religious scholars have long debated the possible reasons, citing previous battles in which Gorum allied with the side of justice and light, the only clue lies in the fact that the Gorum’s domain is encircled by a meandering line of ancient, weathered stones, each impaled with a gleaming, untarnished azata blade. Inscribed on the blades in various languages—including Celestial—is the phrase: “Thus the pledge is sealed, and thus you are accepted, forever with our thanks, come what may.”
