Merid, Heart of Gilded Flame

"He is the Flame burns in the hearts of all men who seek the thrill of battle. It is through his will that man became the conquerers they are today, his divine might which forged the first blade."Merid, Heart of Gilded Flame, is the deity of War in the Human Pantheon and one of three patron saints in the Order of the Valkyries. It was by his will that mankind became the aggressive conquerer's they are today. He is regarded as the god of never-ending warfare, infinite energies, and patron saint of all who lives and dies by the proverbial sword. 
He is one of the eldest deities, having survived the extinction of his kind by the Archangels, he rules in place of the Allfather Deus, seeking to return the influence of gods into the mortal world. 
== Appearance ==
Merid is a universal manifestation of Power and Pride, his physical form resembling a gargantuan eight-legged lion, a brilliant coat of fur parted in the center, wrapping around an ivory mask which appears to obscure his terrifying visage, a raging inferno kept at bay just beneath his blank mask. 
Towering well above any of the other Human gods, Merid was the embodiment of Allfather Deus' inner desire for Absolute Conquest.
Never seen unadorned in ceremonial armor, Merid stands draped in an endlessly flowing crimson cloak, embroidered in gold iconography depicting every recorded conquest, heroic feat, victory, and battle in history. It's embroidery seeming to shimmer and shift constantly, always changing and adding to its own records. His visage eternally stoic, speaking telepathically to his subjects in a billowing tone.
== Personality ==
As to be expected from a God of War, Merid values the strength of mind and body in his disciples. To earn his boon, one must prove their worth through great feats of combat prowess, strength, and strategy.
