Kos (LL)

__TOC__
==Kos (intermediate god)==
Kos is a northern barbarian god who loves battle and bold deeds. He is the god of dooms because he brings trouble to anyone who doesn't live up to his strict codes of honor and action. These codes and the interest of the god apply to all facets of the hard life of the northern barbarians. Kos is just as interested in the building of a safe and sturdy long house as he is in the sharpness of a warrior's axe.
Role-playing Notes: This god exists to make sure the people of the north do things properly. This proper order of things has been established by Kos and passed down to his priests and priestesses. When this order is not followed Kos is quick to hurl curses down on the offenders. These curses are slight at first, but will eventually cause death to the offender unless they mend their ways.
Statistics: AL lg; WAL any non-chaotic; AoC order; SY crossed sword and axe.
==Kos's Avatar (fighter 15/bard 15)==
Kos' avatar always appears as a human warrior. He will begin a battle with his two-handed sword +4, but will change to a normal battle axe if he decides that he is doing too well in the conflict.

Special Att/Def: When his avatar is engaged in combat, Kos will send him 9-90 (9d10) berserkers to aid in his fight. These will remain with the avatar for as long as Kos feels they are needed or until they are slain. After one group is destroyed or disbanded, another cannot be called for 24 hours.
==Duties of the Priesthood==
Priests of Kos cannot increase in level unless they have fought an unending war against the enemies of Kos and order. They must also serve as examples of perfect action and thought. Kos does not tolerate failure and will indicate his displeasure with a priest by simply striking him dead.
