War God	comment	A character regarded as a deity or manifestation of war (or battle, murder, conflict, etc.). They're most likely a member of the setting's ruling pantheon when they are the real deal, but could be any character (including a mortal) who is falsely regarded by other characters as a god(dess) of war. The War God in question often exemplifies either the physical or strategic aspects of war, although they can embody both. War Gods are of course nearly all very badass, possibly also a Four-Star Badass among the pantheon. They tend to be Blood Knights by nature and are often the only god that the Proud Warrior Race would bother to worship, if they don't want to fight them themselves. They are often cast as villains. There's also a tendency in various works of fiction to pair one with a Love Goddess in something of an Opposites Attract manner, either as unlikely friends or romantic partners. Considering Ares and Aphrodite were lovers, this makes this idea Older Than Feudalism; it may be a sort of cosmic version of All Girls Want Bad Boys. Also, some of these figures (usually goddesses) were gods of both fertility/love and war. If you're as violent as them, they may fall In Love with Your Carnage. A War God is frequently involved in some form of Divine Conflict. If he encompasses ALL forms of violence (as Ares did in Greek mythology) he may be seen as a God of Evil. Compare also Destroyer Deity. Subtrope to Stock Gods. If you were looking for the book series or the videogame series, see The War Gods and God of War series respectively. Or maybe you're thinking of a cheesy monster film.

War God / int_141a6acb	comment	While all of the gods of Chaos are arguably associated with war in some form, Khorne, the Blood God and lord of rage, wrath, hate, bloodshed, and violence, embodies this concept unambiguously. He also embodies martial honor as well as excessive violence, so his followers can be both noble if bloodthirsty warriors and insane butchers, but most fall somewhere in between. He also demands that his followers spill blood and collect skulls in his name, and kill any magicians/psychics with extreme prejudice. Khorne is also possibly the single most powerful divinity in any given Warhammer setting, barring possibly Tzeentch. You can't mention War Gods while playing tabletop games without someone shouting BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

War God / int_15fc9fb	type	Our Elves Are Different
War God / int_15fc9fb	comment	Trinimac was a prominent deity among the early Aldmer and served as the champion of Auri-El, the Aldmeri aspect of Akatosh. Trinimac was a warrior spirit, said to be the strongest of the et'Ada ("original spirits"), and in some places was even more popular than Auri-El. According to Aldmeri religious tradition, it was Trinimac who led the Aldmeri armies against Lorkhan's supporters, the races of Men. Trinimac slew Lorkhan and removed Lorkhan's heart from his body. However, Trinimac would later be "eaten" by the Daedric Prince Boethiah so that Boethiah could manipulate Trinimac's followers, who would become the Chimer. After being tortured in Boethiah's stomach, the remains of Trinimac were "excreted". These remains became the Daedric Prince Malacath and his remaining followers were transformed into the Orsimer (Orcs). Malacath somewhat confirms this story, but complains that it is "too literal-minded".

Tempus himself, however, while listed as Chaotic Neutral in the first three editions, generally respects the rules of war and firmly believes that war for its own sake is pointless; the only thing that gives it meaning is the peace that follows.

He is possibly a literal Spiritual Successor to Shor, with one of the beings possibly making up Talos (Wulfharth Ash-King) believed to have been a Shezarrine. He is extremely popular to both Imperials and Nords, and the ban placed on his worship as part of the White-Gold Concordat with the Aldmeri Dominion is major factor in the Civil War seen in Skyrim.

War God / int_39441318	comment	In the old Nordic pantheon, Shor (their version of Lorkhan/Shezarr, the "dead" god who convinced the Aedra to create Mundus, the mortal realm) was a bloodthirsty warrior king and was also their Top God, fitting for a Proud Warrior Race. After his "death", his spirit was forced to wander Mundus, occasionally taking form as a "Shezarrine", who would typically act as great champions to mankind while slaughtering many, many Elves. Even though most modern Nords have adopted the Imperial Nine Divines pantheon, many still hold Shor in high regard.

Szuriel represents war's most negative aspects — societal breakdown, war crimes, rape and looting, and genocide. Essentially the personification of War Is Hell, her few followers are inevitably Sociopathic Soldiers, General Rippers, or fellow Psychos For Hire. Like all daemons, she wishes for nothing less than the end of all life in the multiverse, and sees warfare and carnage as the best way of accomplishing this.

Sigmar, the Empire's patron god, is also a militant deity who expects his followers to sort out their own problems by force of arms. Ulric is about honorable combat and manly butchering of the enemy, Myrmidia is a strategist par excellence and is a ruthless Combat Pragmatist, and, while Sigmar is fine with his followers doing whatever, he himself very much loved to take his hammer to enemy skulls in life and is just as belligerent and fighty in divinity.

Even the normally peaceful Halflings have Arvoreen, god of protection, vigilance, and war.

War God / int_e491684a	comment	Stendarr, the Aedric Divine of Mercy and rule through forbearance, is treated as a war god in many interpretations, particularly the Nordic version Tsun, depicting him as the god of taking your foes alive for ransom. Tsun is also the shield-thane of Shor who tests worthy warriors to see if they are allowed to enter Shor's halls, and in the events of Skyrim the player ends up having to fight Tsun in honorable combat.

War God / int_e4965307	type	Composite Character
War God / int_e4965307	comment	God is believed by some scholars to be a Composite Character of the Top God El of Canaanite religion, and the actual Semitic War God Yahweh (though other scholars say they were one and the same to begin with). This may explain some of His more... morally ambiguous acts, though Anat and Tanit (AKA Tank) were the more popular war goddesses to most Semites.

War God / int_e624f0e8	type	Suspiciously Specific Denial
War God / int_e624f0e8	comment	Aphrodite appears to have been a war-goddess in some of the very earliest references to her, with Cythera (seat of the eldest temple of Aphrodite)note and once the location of a Phoenician colony — Aphrodite does not show up in any Mycenean references, and there's some reason to believe she might have been an imported version of Astarte and Sparta (likely the city that brought the cult of Aphrodite from Cythera to the mainland) having what seems to be warlike versions of her sticking around for a while, such as Aphrodite Areia ("Aphrodite the Warlike"). It had gotten scrubbed out pretty thoroughly elsewhere... or, at least, in the stories and references that survived to the modern day (there is a part of Homer's Iliad that is suspiciously insistent on Aphrodite having no place on a battlefield). There's some indication that this early version of Aphrodite is a Hellenized version of Astarte (see below).

War God / int_ea31279	type	The Armies of Heaven
War God / int_ea31279	comment	Laurence is the general of The Armies of Heaven and is particularly concerned with concepts of strategy, honor, and military discipline — the soldier is Soldier Versus Warrior. He runs his servants like a vast army, and among mortals prefers to sponsor hierarchical organizations with a martial bent — his closeness to the Christian faith means he has a particular fondness for Church Militant organizations, and he served as the patron of many knightly orders in his day.

War God / int_fbb54ba6	comment	Among Eorzea's pantheon of gods, the Twelve, Halone the Fury is the goddess of ice and war. Fittingly, she is the guardian deity of the Holy Sea of Ishgard, who have been at war with the Dravanian Horde for a thousand years by the time the player pays them a visit.

War God / int_fe48cea2	type	Lady of War
War God / int_fe48cea2	comment	Tempus also has three subordinate deities that specialize in specific aspects of war. The Red Knight is the demigoddess of strategy and tactics, Valkur specializes in naval warfare, and Garagos is the demigod of bloodlust and destruction (only avoiding a Chaotic Evil alignment in 3E because he's a virtually nonsentient personification of rage). Interestingly, while The Red Knight and Valkur are mortals that ascended with Tempus' aid, Garagos used to be the god of war in the Netherese pantheon under the name Targus. He was somewhat less rage-filled back then, but was usurped by the newcomer Tempus in the aftermath of the fall of Netheril, and had to re-invent himself in a lesser niche. Faiths and Pantheons states point-blank that Tempus could stomp him flat if he wanted, but he isn't interested in taking on that section of the portfolio of war.
