Agrik

Agrik is the principal deity of warriors who enjoy the dark side of war: pillage, cruelty, and destruction. It is said that a pious adherent of Agrik will learn as many of the Ten Thousand Ways of inflicting pain as possible. The church practices human sacrifice, often through ritual combat with a champion of a fighting order.   Agrik dwells in his great flame-shrouded fortress of Balgashang with his demonic servants, the V’hir. Within the castle is Ak-Syt, the dreaded chamber of tortures where unspeakable demons torment the hapless, unlamented dead. Agrik usually appears as a great V’hir with two claws missing from his left hand, bearing Gashang, his flaming mace, and Sycanus, his ichordripping sickle. Agrik’s missing claws have caused him constant pain and anger since the goddess Larani severed them. He has never forgotten this ancient indignity and only the terms of the Concordat of the Illimitable Tome deter him from seeking revenge. There is certainly no love lost between the fighting orders of the two deities.
