Farron
The Strategist, The Uncompromising, Father of War, Patron of Soldiers, The Celestial General. Farron
Farron is an ancient god, he has seen endless battles, great wars, and countless conflicts, he has seen the coming of the gods, the fall of the primordial, and brought about the death of gods. Eldest of the war gods, he has always stood opposite of his brother Calium, caring little for individual purpose or meaning, only goals, only results.
Father of Purpose
War without an overall goal and war with no means to reach a said goal is abhorrent to Farron, if mortals are to die they should not die without purpose, life is sacred and should be spent well. To Farron all things have a purpose, all things are tools that need to be properly handled and encouraged to be used optimally, even oneself. Indeed Farron sees himself as little more than a surgical tool, made to end wars with the least amount of needless bloodshed.Shamed Lord
When Farron called his daughters to arms, as the war between the Celestials and The Firstborn intensified, he was consumed by wrath, anger, and vengeance for the loss of his one Love in his pursuit did he forsake logical thinking and strategy, like his brother before him, he flung himself into the fray, costing the lives of many of his children. Only when Valatau took upon herself her fathers anger, could he see clear, the shame he felt overwhelmed him, for he had needlessly sent the last legacy of Ailym to their graves, and with no final victory in sight nothing had been gained for their loss. Thus did he swear to make right his wrongs, he cast aside his emotions once and for all leaving him devoid of all but his sacred charge, that war may forever be done in cold and ruthless calculation, to ensure the least amount of blood spilled.God of Peace
Paradoxically Farron views war as wasteful, but to Farron war should only be a means to achieve peace, all conflict simple comes from lack of unity, and as such until all are as one, so too shall there be war, as such in his eyes the true purpose of war, is to unify the world or seek the power to secure oneself, in the war to end all wars or at least the war to bring peace to one's lands.Aspects
War of Purpose
The Lord of Strategies dictates that no battle is waged without it playing a purpose to the overall war effort, any blood spilled for glory is blood wasted, for all that which does not bring the end of war is worthless. To Farron, the purpose of war must always be the realization of a goalRemorseless War
Farron represents war without pity and without remorse, in his eyes war is an ugly business and there is no reason to lie about this, no reason to shroud oneself in lies. To fight a war as Farron would is to fight with no limits, nothing is unsanctioned, all means are considered and employed should they help accomplish final victory.Bringer of the New Order
Farron rarely brings his blessings to freedom fighters or underdogs, they must earn it by blood, they must prove to him that they are more tenacious than their adversaries, for Farron cares little for cause, he cares for victory and victory alone. He is an empire builder, often seeking to strengthen great nations until they inevitably in his eyes grow weak and are replaced by a new power.Worship
Farron can often seem uncaring of his follows and therefore has few worshippers. But in ancient times, men and Elves alike build great temples in his name, hoping to gain his favor in battle, and such worship still persists, but in these times, it is often relegated to generals to organize a sacrifice or prayer in his name before battle and planning. Many invoking his name in war councils, that he may steer them in the right direction. In the few nations that he does hold sway, it is common that he has a shrine or small temple, where priests are trained as strategic advisors to generals, or to dedicate military schools to his name.Divine Domains

History
The two brothers have been distant ever since the War for heaven, and even they can hardly remember the days when they laughed together and boasted of great victories before the coming of Raziel.
