Rhysvial

Long, long ago, there was a dragon named Rhysvial, who walked among man during the Age of Creation. During this time, Rhysvial was a benevolent and loving God, seen as a bringer of wisdom and worshiped alongside Amelia as a creator God. However, times change, and as time progressed, Rhysvial descended further and further into madness. The death of his brother, Fafnheir, was the last straw.

Rhysvial snapped and took his anger out upon young Alron, who was subject to torture so horrible that it changed the young Godling into the God of Pain known today. Shortly after, he and his black dragon flight had united several other dragons across the world, an in attempt to overthrow the pantheon and their control over the earth.

The God's power was so great, that it required the entire pantheon to work together in order to halt his rampage. During this time, allies had become enemies, with Lamashtu submerging Rhysvial in her fetid sludge, while Murielle and Belial had sealed him deep within the vault.

Relations

Rhysvial is hated by all Gods of the Pantheon, as it his end goal to destroy everything to do with them on Erilen.

Rhysvial is the father of all dragons; many dragons on Erilen are seen as important figures to the world, but the Black Dragons are the only brood that still heeds to his call.




Churches and Clergy

Quite simply, most of Rhysvial's mortal worshipers consist of savage monsters or complete nihilists that haven't done their book work and are just complete edge lords that want to take their anger out on everything. While they destroy and decimate all in his name, it isn't necessarily the main thing that the dragon god wants, and an actual cult of Rhysvial actually has some form of order among it.

Rhysvian churches are, obviously, hidden from public view, and are usually centered around the worship of a dragon(s) that sees the Worldbreaker as the true god of Erilen. These cults strongly believe that mortal life are below dragons, and should work only to serve them to the best of their abilities. Whether that means their sacrifice or not matters little, but they are granted great power in exchange for their eternal service.


Holy Texts

Rhysvial's only known text was made before his fall, and details the creation of all the main flights, along with why Rhysvial created them. It is translated and found throughout the world, and is very important to both history and a part of Rhysvian worship.

Rituals:

Edgelords: There are two types of worshipers to Rhysvial. The first and most common type are those that simply seek to break or take their anger out on things, believing the Dragon God to be a prime example of destructive power that they can call upon to assist them in their destruction.

Dragon Cults: Cults to Rhysvial are usually pretty destructive themselves, but are usually a bit more quiet in nature. They usually silently kidnap or steal important figures to sacrifice in the name of their patron dragon. Cults strongly believe that the dragon is the one true native of Erilen, and that a mortal's only excuse for living on their land is to serve them as willing slaves.
