Faligore, the Brazen Dragon
Faligore (a.k.a. Brazen Dragon, God of Violence, Prince of Warfare, Two-Headed)
Divine Domains
Warfare, military strategy and leadership, martial prowess, violence, glory, duality, and fire. Patron to warriors and generals, both living and dead.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
A two-headed god of warfare, Faligore embodies both all the glory and all the horrors of war. He is simultaneously a just and noble warrior prince who wages war for the sake of a better tomorrow and to defend his people, and a violent and malicious monster who seeks war and bloodshed for the sake of his own perverted whims.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Faligore is represented in several different ways depending on the beliefs of those representing him. Typically, like his father, he is represented as a dragon, although Faligore is depicted as a red or brass-colored dragon with two heads. In most of his draconic depictions, he is shown with one head turned to the sky releasing a gout of flame, and may be shown with a sword or a skull pinned under one of his hands. Other depictions show him as a handsome warrior prince wreathed in a bright halo of flames, wielding a flaming sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Lastly, in more negative depictions, he is depicted as a savage warrior adorned with bones and skulls, wielding a bloodied axe in his left hand and a flaming sword in his right, standing atop a mound of ashes, bones, and shattered shields.
Apparel & Accessories
In almost all depictions of Faligore, he is shown wielding a flaming sword. This is the mythical Burning Blade, forged to imprison Eo, the God of Time, outside of his own creation. The blade was originally wielded by Markath, but was claimed by Faligore after he bested him in combat. In some depictions he is shown with a shield, depicting him as vigilant defender. Other depictions trade the shield for a bloodied axe. This is All-Biter, an axe said to have such a thirst for violence that simply holding it in hand could kill a man. It is representative of Faigore's eternal lust for violence and conflict. Depictions of skulls alongside Faligore represent, of course, his close relationship with death, as war and death go hand in hand.
Mental characteristics
Accomplishments & Achievements
During the First War, Faligore led armies of gods against Markath. Eventually, the two faced each other in single combat, and Faligore emerged victorious. He claimed Markath's sword, the Burning Blade, for himself and with it seared Markath's flesh, forever branding him for his crimes.
Social
Family Ties
Faligore is the son of the union between his father, Barakil, the Godking, and his mother, Ellana, goddess of wisdom. Some believe that he is analogous to the Jornic god Fjall, and may also be somewhat related to the Sutherlandic god Brand.
