History
Crommash is one of few Greater Deities that started their journey as mere mortals. Once known as Crommash the Breaker, an orc warrior during the
Second Age, Godswar, he quickly found favor in
Ilios and other gods that waged war on Tethys. However, his ambitions rose as he gained ranks. At first, becoming a
Chosen of Alduir, the god of strife at that time, and defeating Uldas, the god of combat, during a prolonged battle. When he achieved
Demigod status, he challenged his own patron to a duel and beating him, chopping his head and drinking his blood. Many rituals of blood-drinking would rose thanks to this legend. His group, now known as Blood Gods, would wage great wars against other gods, choosing similar in strength enemies, leaving weaker ones to perish or to be left alone completely. Over time he would rise to the ranks of an Intermediate Deity and after forming the
Bloody Arena Pantheon, becoming the first mortal to become a Greater Deity. Crommash from that point on would wage war on anyone he deemed worthy of his notice and while
Icons raged on in the
Fourth Age, The Calamity, he would be fighting other gods, stopping for a moment to help against
Vecna. Many say that it was due to the
Translucent Traveler that he was convinced to help.
Dogma
