Ρακδοσ, Legion

(Rak-Dos)

## **Summary**

Ρακδοσ is the titan of Legions and Occult. He bears no title as he has no worshippers to give him a title, as very very few know about the living titans. When the Gods went to war against the Great Old Ones, they needed an army equal to that of the Aboleths to be able to fight on their side, and thus the titans were created. Thamir created all 15 of the titans in his own image of how he believed the world operated, giving each of the titans a name that represented a natural law. These titans had physical bodies, the first creatures in all of existence to have a set form and physical body. There were originally 16 titans, however 1 of these 15 titans went on under a name known by all, and created his own army out of stone.

Ρακδοσ is said to be the most unified out of all of his titan brothers, the leader of the army of Stone, he represented oncoming hordes, generals, and leadership above all else. His symbol was born on all captains and leaders of the army of stone, having said to be a gift of respect, Ρακδοσ’s symbol is that of a two bladed scythe, lit aflame. Sometimes he is also represented with his head or helmet, looking like an infernal devil’s skull decorated with horns and spikes.

## **Description**

Ρακδοσ is said to stand at 400 feet in height, with a body of red leather and eyes that were said to be aflame with a passion for warfare. He wore no clothes under his armor, of which was very minimalist. However, it is said that his leather bandolier and scabbard had to be blessed with infinite regrowth, as he kept tearing off pieces of it to make makeshift bandaging for wounded soldiers. This titan still lives today, and hates what the gods have done to his brothers and sisters. He currently resides far underneath the earth of North Rederium, under a series of cave networks and magical blockers, he sits with the last battalion of his stone army, awaiting the day they come back from their infinite slumber.

Ρακδοσ, as well as many other titans, can only be manifested through their weapons or armor given to them by Thamir, as nothing else existed during their time alive, Ρακδοσ is manifested through his two-bladed scythe. The artifact is still kept on Ρακδοσ, as he plans on using it against his creators once the Titans rise up.

Those who study the history of Ρακδοσ or titans will often be plagued by dreams of them, these nightmares serve to force those creatures into silence or insanity, as if their presence is made aware of by the gods it could result in their end. Ρακδοσ is often seen as a barreling legion, running towards the dreamer at full force on horses, elephants, or rhinos. Ρακδοσ is represented as the same race as the dreamer, with firey eyes and a large scythe, the dreams normally end with him “killing” the dreamer, over and over again until they are forced into silence or mentally break.

## **Personality**

Ρακδοσ is very union based, he believes in the good of the many instead of the betterment of the 1, and is typically kind to all of his soldiers and underlings. He considers himself as equal to a petty soldier, with no concept of rank or class, it is not uncommon for Ρακδοσ to have fought side by side with his soldiers.

Ρακδοσ bears a hard hatred for Thamir above all other gods, as his constant establishment of a hard ranking system in a military style angered him to the point of almost betraying him. But, Ρακδοσ did not wish to disappoint his soldiers, so he continued to fight alongside them.

## **Powers**

Ρακδοσ wield a scythe known as “Showstopper”. Showstopper is a scythe with a 600 foot long polearm, with a blade apparently so sharp that it was able to rip through the fabric of space itself, never missing it’s target. The Scythe was also constantly lit aflame on both 300 foot blades, these flames glowing a yellow to white hot as it was allegedly powered by nearby stars. This scythe was never allowed use near standard planets during the war because of this Sun-Stealing property, and thus many warfields where it was used are plagued by supergiants, black holes, and ongoing supernovas.

Without the scythe,  Ρακδοσ is still extremely skilled in hand to hand combat, with him being able to fist fight Jundiparr and spare him off while his armies fled. It is not known yet how a Titan fist fought a Greater Elder evil, one without shape or form, but yet he has still done it anyways.

## **Realm**

Ρακδοσ resides in the material plane, 1500 miles under North Rederium in one of the very bottommost parts of the underdark.

## **Relationships**

Ρακδοσ dislikes the gods for their idea of power and being able to be better than another creature just because of birthright. With an especial hatred towards Thamir, of whom forced him to follow a military structure with rankings, dehumanizing his fellow soldiers.

Ρακδοσ is neutral towards most of his brothers and sisters, to him they were family, and thus no matter how they conflicted, they needed to stay together. He did mourn the death of Ιζζετ however, as both were very close as siblings.

## **History**

Ρακδοσ was created during the same time period as all other titans, and was quickly the de-facto leader of The Stone Army. He was the first to be sent into battle against the Aboleths and he was the last standing in all fights, even there for the deaths of his fellow brothers and sisters.

During the war, Ρακδοσ constantly begged and pleaded for Thamir to help the titans, to allow them to have a system of leadership and not one of strength. Thamir would reject or ignore these requests, and seemed to treat Ρακδοσ like an abused puppy, pitying him but not gifting him with what he begged for.

The turning point in Ρακδοσ’s life was when Ιζζετ died by the hands of Jundiparr. Thamir was originally fighting the elder evil, and called upon both Ιζζετ & Ρακδοσ for assistance, but when both titans arrived to a god-destroying power, with no ability to actually physically destroy the creature, since they had no godly powers, Thamir fled the fight to recover himself. This fleeing caused Ιζζετ to perish and be swallowed whole by Jundiparr, and when Jundiparr almost ate the entirety of Ρακδοσ’s army, he fought the creature with his bare hands until his anger wore out and all stone soldiers had been able to leave. Only then did Jundiparr flee, causing Ρακδοσ to retreat as well.

After this cowardice and betrayal, Ρακδοσ left Thamir and took his army with them, going to the warfield of the Primal Chaos to exist, all of Ρακδοσ’s friends later went into a slumber as the war ended, never to wake up, as Ρακδοσ was left alone deep under the earth, waiting for the day that the titans may rise again.
