Khoreg
Khoreg is the lawful god/dess of battle. He/she hates demons and is never happier than when his/her followers go to war against them. Khoreg believes that power and might are obtained through victory, conquest and rigid military structure.
Full plate armour and polearms are his/her weapons and protection of choice. Khoreg believes that victory is more important than death; some of his/her greatest warriors are empowered to return beyond death as Unliving to carry on fighting in their God's name. These are very rare and are known as Khoregate Returners.
Seen by older worshippers as male but by newer ones as female. This is due to Khoreg's recent rebirth when a few years ago Khoreg was killed by the trickster God Gul, in an attempt to become the God of Conflict. Eventually Khoreg was reborn and took the form of a woman and now championing Truth and Justice.

Holy Books & Codes
It was the time of entropy; the gods were born of Order amid the sea of Chaos.
The firmament burned forth across the sky,
the moon was born in the torment of the earth,
the Sun burned cold in a sky of blood.
Amid the sea of Chaos, the spirit of Khoreg shouted, “I will live!”
And the sea of Chaos beat upon him and he fought it and swam against it.
And the sea of Chaos sent great monsters against him and with his fists he beat them back.
As their numbers grew he knew he must do more.
When the monsters attacked once more he ripped the limb from one and used it as a cudgel but still they come on.
Khoreg could not freely swing his cudgel amid the waves.
So Khoreg seized the greatest of the monsters and leapt upon its back and with the cudgel he slew it.
From his place upon its shoulder she slew the other creatures until their bodies piled up around him and became an island.
And the remaining monsters fled
Other lands rose from amid the Sea of Chaos, other gods emerged and some fought and some were friends.
The gods walked among the lands and the plants and the animals appeared.
The Sun shone warm and songs were sung under the moon.
And Creatures came forth from the sea and the mountains and the gods fought them.
Khoreg saw that the axes and the spears of other gods were more terrible than was his own cudgel.
So as the gods fell back before the onslaught of the monsters.
Khoreg took up the weapons of two who fell
But the monsters arms were longer than his axe and their skin too tough for the spear to pierce.
So Khoreg took the head of the axe and put it on the spear shaft.
With this Helberd he hewed the head from the creature called Gelgerrigoth.
And Khoreg led the Gods forth.
And all that withstood him fell before him.
Even in the midst of his enemy none could withstand his anger.
But the enemy crept behind him and might have slain him had not the Ogre God come to his aid.
Thus they fought back to back until the battle was won.
So Khoreg sat upon the field of Victory and cried out, “I need a drink!”
