Carnax

Carnax, The Bloodied Sands, looms as an embodiment of war's relentless ferocity within the sun-scorched expanses of Greater Qirus. This formidable deity commands the realm of war, raw, ruthless forces that drive conflict and brutality. Carnax isn't a god of strategic warfare or noble causes but instead pays homage to the innate survival instincts, the primitive drive for dominance, and the brutal carnage that often ensues on the battlefield.

Carnax finds followers among those whose lives are etched in the harsh lines of conflict, be they seasoned warriors who march into war with unwavering resolve, or mercenaries who trade their combat prowess for the glint of gold. These individuals turn to Carnax for the strength to overpower their enemies, the resilience to endure the harsh realities of their violent existence, and the thrill that pulses in their veins when engaged in the raw dance of combat.

The god’s temples are not found within the confines of traditional structures but are instead spread across the countless battlegrounds that scar the land. Each place where blood has been spilled in combat becomes a sacred site in Carnax's name. His rituals are visceral and direct, involving the shedding of blood, the clash of weapons, or silent respect paid to the fallen.

The symbol of Carnax is a formidable giant scorpion, a creature feared and respected in the deserts of Greater Qirus. This creature encapsulates the essence of Carnax perfectly. The scorpion, with its deadly sting and relentless nature, mirrors the god's domains of brutality and war, its hard exoskeleton symbolic of a warrior's indomitable spirit.
