Lars

## Info

Order must be brought to all things. Order will be brought to all things. Those who resist order will be cleansed of their disease of chaos. These are the fundamental tenants of Lars. Indecision and weakness are inconsequential traits to Lars and his followers seek to rid themselves of all other than the true path, Order.

## Dogma

The strong exist to maintain order.

Order exists to maintain the strong.

Strength means nothing if it is not tested.

Law means nothing if it is not enforced.

Your word means nothing if it without action.

The words of one are only as strong as their actions.

Ones strength is only as valid as ones word.

Those who do not follow order do not belong.

Those who cannot protect themselves should not be protected.

Those who cannot keep their word shall speak no further.

## Followers

Those who follow Lars are often the most devout. Each of them has been forced to prove themselves to him and in turn have seen the benefits devotion can bring.

While there are a large number of followers of Lars that are often racist, sexist, and or prejudice by some means, Lars does not implicitly agree with these concepts. Devout followers of Lars will understand that one should assume they are strong, but should also be wise enough not to assume weakness in others. However, Lars Code of Supremacy often leads people to elitism and his hatred for followers of others leads many to believe in intrinsic inferiority of all who do not believe.

## History

In the early days of the world, the stories tell of Lars cleansing the chaos of the world. A world where Lars had drawn together all of the chaos in the world and manifested it into a single being, which Laws bound to the Heart of the World. The success of Lars would be thwarted many years later as a group of "well intentioned" outsiders, found the creature and slew it, freeing chaos from the body it was trapped within.

With chaos once more a plague upon the world and the population ever increasing, Lars began to educate his followers on the importance of staying resolute in their fight against chaos. His followers began to stay vigilant and trained, accepting weakness and fear as flaws and creating trials to separate the devout, from the unsure. For many, proving your faith to Lars involves surviving combat with another follower. For many devotees or incumbents this has meant death at the hands of each other. However, not all are slain. Those incumbents that survive are put though a rigorous series of tests to ensure they have the strength to prove themselves as truly devout.

It was believed that during the First God War, Lars was slain. The stories speak of his betrayal by the newly ascended Yuloz. Lars had been weary of allowing Yuloz's ascent, warning that his followers were not as they seemed. However, in the end the gods had allowed his ascent and ultimately doomed Lars.

The followers of Lars were unbroken by the rumors of the death of their god, prophesizing that his return would be soon and that when he did so, a new era of the gods would begin. Lars had already shared with his high clerics the concern of his imminent demise at the hands of Yuloz and had been instructing them on how to return life to him in the unrest that would follow. Once the body of the hero of old that had once returned chaos to the world had been reforged by the hands that brought him to the plane and the descendants of his lineage had slain him once more, the body would be ready to become the vessel of Lars.

Upon his rebirth, those that worshiped Lars increased exponentially. His followers began a crusade to seek out and slay the followers of The Betrayer. In the times that followed the First God War, none came close to the vast numbers of followers that declared themselves to Lars.
