Gruumsh, The Smashlord
Deep in the hearts of the Goblinoid and Orcish alike, there resides a being of immense power and unwavering determination - Gruumsh, The Smashlord. He is said to resemble a cross between a Goblin and an Orc, with thick, corded muscles that surge with power when he becomes angry.
His weapon of choice is a massive Eldritch Redwood Trunk, which he wields with ease, crushing his enemies with every swing. It is said that he carved the weapon himself from the heart of a tree that was struck by lightning during a raging storm.
Gruumsh is held in high regard by most Goblinoid and Orc Clans, who see him as a living embodiment of their strength and ferocity. His reputation is not limited to the surface world; even in the subsurface world, his name is known and feared by those who dare to cross his path.
Although he is the Patron Saint of Barbarians and RAAAGGEEEEEE, Gruumsh is not without his softer side. He is friendly to druidic deities and druids, and is known to have a fondness for nature and its inhabitants. Despite this, he is still a being that favors war, not for violence, but rather for honorable combat and tests of strength. He sees these battles as a way to prove oneself and to earn respect, not only from one's allies but also from one's enemies.
Once, Gruumsh challenged himself to a contest of push-ups with a rival deity. The contest lasted for days, each deity pushing themselves to their limits. Almost a century later, Gruumsh called the contest a stalemate, showing his tenacity and unwillingness to give up. This determination has earned him the respect of his followers, who see him as an unbreakable force.
Despite his reputation as a fearsome warrior, Gruumsh is not a malicious god. He does not seek out conflict for the sake of causing harm, but rather as a way to test one's strength and prove oneself worthy. His followers see him as a fair and just deity, who rewards those who show bravery and honor in battle.
In the end, Gruumsh is a being of great power and determination, whose reputation precedes him wherever he goes. He is a symbol of strength and honor to his followers, and a force to be reckoned with by his enemies.
