Lord Ryūji (a.k.a. Our Father of Blades)
Ryūji is the patron of warriors, swordsmiths and lawful aligned dragons. His faith appeals to people with an appreciation for blades, their crafting and their caretaking. As such, followers of Ryūji treat their weapons with outmost respect.

When the greater deities of the Kaen Shinden tried to erase all of intermidiate and lesser deities, Ryūji was forced to go to war against his parents. With the greater deities purged, he and his brother Daiginkan, as well as many other gods, were left orphaned by their own hands.
Ryūji was then poisoned by her brother who was jealous of the treatment he got and rebuked every ideal he stood for. However, The Bladefather's meditation and training had rendered any poison futile. Daiginkaan was caught and then banished from the plane of Kaendarin and Ryūji was left without family.

The Bladefather was said to have a dragon keep him company. An ancient behemoth of the ages of primordium, when the spirits still roamed the face of Neoria. The ancient wyrm guarded the entrance to the plane of Kaendarin and protected the realm from extraplanar intruders.
The name of this ancient beast was Nagare.
