War

From Jade Tower

The Three-Fold God

The three-fold god of war’s aspects represent the wars of righteousness (Thut), defense of home (Ta) and conquest (Bak). Encompassing both the male (Bak and Thut) and female (Ta), this god is, quite appropriately, the most complex and conflicting of deities. Bak was worshipped as a stand-alone deity, Bakht, by the orcs.

  • Alignment
    • Bak – Chaotic Evil
    • Ta – True Neutral
    • Thut – Lawful Good
  • Portfolio: War
  • Cleric’s weapon of choice: Sword
  • Cleric Domains
    • Bak – Chaos, Evil, Destruction, War
    • Ta – Protection, Strength, War
    • Thut – Law, Good, War
  • Cleric Alignments: Any, depending on aspect worshipped.
  • Symbol: Three broken swords, arranged in a triangle, point to hilt.
  • Avatars: Unknown, though Bak-Ta-Thut is known to have had three simultaneous Avatars, one for each aspect.

The Companions of the Rising Sun believe that Cometfall, the Jade Imperium's strike at the heart of the Orcish forces, averted the ascension of an Avatar of Bakht.
