Menoetius

The Great Scourge Menoetius The Dreadful Might.

-Cruelty, The Natural Order, The truest embodiment of animalistic violence, The Blood-God, The Endless Slaughter, He is the Primordial God of violent anger and rash action.

Menoetius, a second generation Titan, son of Iapetus and Clymene or Asia, and a brother of Atlas, Prometheus and Epimetheus. Menoetius was killed by Zeus with a flash of lightning in the Titanomachy, and banished to Tartarus. His name means "doomed might", deriving from the Ancient Greek words *menos* ("might, power") and *oitos* ("doom, pain"). Hesiod described Menoetius as hubristic, meaning exceedingly prideful and impetuous to the very end. From what his name suggests, along with Hesiod's own account, Menoetius was perhaps the Titan god of violent anger and rash action.

## History

### Birth

Like the rest of the Primordials, Menoetius had been an *'offspring of creative thought'* and was given understanding only of that part of the mind of the Nascent Universe from which he was born. Menoetius like his sister Minera, was born of the natural order but unlike her he was the truest embodiment of animalistic violence and vitriol, The Blood-God, The Lord of the Endless Slaughter, The Primordial God of violent anger and rash action.

As a Primordial and an echo of the mind of creation he was kindled with the Flame Imperishable. And from his very conception he was instructed in the themes of the Great Song: the great songs that created the Visions of Creation and ultimately the Material Universe. In the beginning of the Music, Menoetius like the rest of the Primordials was within harmony with Creation, but by the manipulation of Khaos and Menoetius' own Chaotic nature he would be turned instead to his own internal wrath, and seeking power for himself above all Menoetius and the others of the M'alatari attempting unsuccessfully to bring discord to the Great Music.

### The Primordial Music

Creation would then publicly rebuke Khaos and his M'alatari allies including Menoetius, saying that all music finds its source in himself, and thus they could not create their own songs or truly alter the Themes of Creation. Thus, though Khaos would oppose Creation to his last breath, he only furthered the cause of Creation in new and wondrous ways. The M'alatari were shamed and angered by these judgments, but hid their feelings. When Creation showed the Primordials the product of their music, Eä, Menoetius was of course one of those who begged to enter the newborn Universe, pretending to be willing to cultivate it and guide it for Creation's glory. But had actually wished to dominate Eä and its creatures, especially the Children of Creation.

Nonetheless, they were allowed to enter Eä and inhabit the material realm with the other primordials. Once there, Khaos would declare to his colleagues that he was the master of creation henceforth. Aldon, his brother, did not understand his evil, but fearing that Khaos might try and disrupt their labors within creation, called forth many more primordials to protect them. The M'alatari departed to the remote regions of Eä, leaving the universe in peace for a while.

The War in Heaven

Creation of The First Brood

Unlike most of his kin Menoetius would not turn to the burgeoning life of the universe for aid, but would rather turn inwards into his own devine ichor. And upon the worlds of the ancient Menoitian Regnum, Worlds that were bathed in the blood of the War God, these worlds were the spawning pools of The Blood Cults of The Children of Menoetius.

The Blood Crusades

Dominance of Creation

Time within the Estalan System

Revenge against the Thelar

Thanatos poisoned Her brother's creations with the curse of death, the inevitable end of all things born within the universe.

Menoetius, similar to Thanatos, He poisoned his sibling creations with violence, ensuring that every creature regardless would become capable of violence no matter what choices are made by them.

Phthisis as with his aforementioned brother and sister Phthisis cursed creation with inevitable rot, the undeniable end of all things.

The First War in Heaven

Kinslaying

Death

Menoetius shattered by Prometheus, and Oceanus, from his splattered blood further poisoned creation with His curse of violence, and with the descent of His broken form into Hell where His blood mixed with the energies of Hell, and from that the 1st born of The Children of Menoetius were born.

# The Children of Menoetius:

Animalistic and beastsial hordes roaming the hellish wastes, born of the Primordial Blood of Menoetius, these Daemons wage war all throughout Hell-itself.Khorne is the Blood God, Lord of Rage, Taker of Skulls. It is wrath incarnate, the embodiment of a never-ending lust to dominate and destroy. It is the Blood Cult’s sole desire to drown the galaxy in a tide of everlasting slaughter, to conquer and kill every living thing until there is nothing left but spilt blood and shattered bone.

The Cult’s code of Slaughter is a simple one: blood will be reaped and blood only. Its only temple is the battlefield, its sole sacrament the spilled blood of nations. And Without reason they fight endlessly, without number they conquer indiscriminately, and without end they kill without remorse. The Children of the Blood God cherish the Martial prowess that they are known for, and chronically denouncing the use of ranged combat, The Red Masses venerate the use of weapons that reap the largest yield of blood in the shortest amount of time, using Jagged and Chained weaponry that instead of cutting through flesh cleanly will often tear instead of slice and will leave nothing more then bloody chunks which use to be an enemy.

Slaughter Tyrants- Lords of their cults, these Daemons lead their lesser brethren through endless slaughter, with their endless amounts of tearing teeth and rending claws sunk deep into the ravished bodies of those foolish enough to go against the tyrant's rule.

Crimson Dukes- Lieutenants to their Lords, these warriors are charged with the creation of evermore boundless blood-shed, all for the sick delight of their lord. Often leading Hords of Blood-Wracks to decimate entire nations, The Crimson Dukes are just as formidable in commanding their Slaughter Masses as they are in single combat.

Greater Blood-Wracks- These Daemons though driven far past the edge of insanity and plunged into the depths of the maddening  have become ever worse then their lesser brethren of whom they lead, these vile sadists, kill nought for glory in the eye of their masters but for the sick thrill of the sight of sanguine ichor.

Blood-Wracks- These Daemons have been driven through the edge of insanity, kept in pits surrounded by creeping darkness, these beasts are only released to slake the blood lust of their lords.

Gore-Children- Infantry of The Children of Menoetius, these endless cultists fight indiscriminately at the call of their Lords and die in indifference.

Battle-Cry: Blood for Menoetius, Blood for our Great Father.   For the Broken Lord, WE DIE!!

The Menoitius Regnum– Worlds that were bathed in the blood of the War God, these worlds were the spawning pools of The Blood Cults of The Children of Menoetius.
