Aergal

Aergal (AIR-gul) is a Deity, one of the Atrocity Gods.
==God of Slaughter==
Aergal, the God of Slaughter, was created on the day of the first war of mortals. The deities watched in horror as the mortals fought one another, discovering that the rage for conquest within the hearts of those battling manifested Aergal who rose from the ground covered in the blood of the slain. His presence fueled both sides to fight until death or exhaustion, leaving only the leaders standing. After basking in the glory of war, Aergal sought out others who wished for control, bestowing his blessings where he saw power and promise.
Aergal knows only one thing: creation through violence, and the more one inflicts and participates in it, the louder they call out to him for his blessings. It is said that Aergal blessed his most powerful mortal worshippers, turning them into Giants. Aergal's symbol is a blood-drenched hand. Altars to him can be found on battlefields, in war rooms, and any other places where control must be maintained or taken. Aergal believes those left standing after the slaughter are meant to be in control of the realms. He blesses kings who rule through conquest and violence.
===Depiction===
