Overview
Necis is god of war, strife, conquest, and domination. His followers believe power and glory are won through blood, discipline, intimidation, and the defeat of weaker rivals.
Divine Role
Though born of the same divine source as the other gods, Necis is marked by hatred, ambition, and hunger for authority. He teaches mortals weaponcraft, conquest, and the idea that violence can impose order on the unwilling.
Many fear and despise him, but soldiers, tyrants, conquerors, and those desperate for victory still call on his name.
Blood Rites and War Cults
Necis' temples often stand near fortresses, castles, arenas, and military grounds. His rites include martial training, blood offerings, oaths of fealty, human sacrifice, duels, and tournaments meant to display strength before the god of war.
His worshipers often clash with other faiths, and the resulting violence only strengthens his reputation.
Campaign Use
- Use Necis when ambition turns faith into conquest.
- Let his cults offer real strength at a terrible moral cost.
- Make victory in his name create new enemies, debts, and atrocities.
