Mental characteristics
Personal history
As a primordial god, Argeon was born from the essence of the elemental plane of air with the purpose of tending to this element in the adjacent material plane called Gretaria.
Due to this connection, it is believed that Argeon can easily open gateways between this plane and the elemental plane of air. Despite his exponential increase in power and becoming one of the most influential gods in the world, he is not the lord of the elemental plane of air.
Over time, Argeon developed new interests, delighting in human combat and the items created under his influence. His followers claim that, more than through prayers, Argeon gains power to generate thunderstorms and empower his followers to craft legendary magical items through electrifying combats in which his devotees participate. Thus, gladiators and warriors hold special importance for this god and his followers, with various arenas dedicated to him. Some even view thunderstorms as blessings, signifying Argeon's contentment and the creation of their masterpieces. It is common to see smiths forging weapons and armor on stormy nights.
