Nikros

Domains: Death, Fate, Storm, War

Nikros, the Tyrant, is the god of death, fate, storm, and the brutal right of strength. He teaches that power is the only true virtue, and that the strong were born to rule the weak. Many of his followers masquerade as devotees of Adûn, for both speak of strength, yet Nikros exalts domination where Adûn teaches duty.

His priests whisper to rulers hungry for control, turning them toward conquest and cruelty. Brother to Cyrvis, he despises him for frailty, insisting that treachery is the weapon of cowards. His worship is hidden and feared, yet secretly admired by bullies and despots. To him, weakness is a sickness to be purged.
