Writing Worlds with Words

Gods of the Dead Age: Istchitharian.

Istchitharian. God King of Axandria. God of Dissection, Understanding, Scholars, and Emotional Control.

Known as the Chief of the Axandrian Gods, The Mind of Madness, The King in Crimson, The Unimagined, The Mage God.

Istchitharian, God-King of Axandria, Head of the pagan deities, hailed from a distant realm. Infiltrated this world as a vanguard of a foreign empire that stretched across the planes. He gathered other mages and helped them ascend as subservient gods beneath his iron rule. Cruel, he pressured Axandrians to worship him and his acolytes instead of the old spirit gods that once gave them purpose. To go forth and conquer, pillage, and spread death and terror across the plane. Though powerful, he could never have stood against the Ithian Gods without the Steiners’ brilliance. He has gone silent. The non-believers believe he died in the battle against the Ithian Gods, but others say he has ascended to rule the world from the conquered deities’ thrones.

Bone-white flesh, long writhing tentacles, and mirror-black eyes watch the world from a regalia of crimson and gold. Flexible armor made of pure gold shifts around his body as he moves, while enchantments keep it from breaking from metal fatigue or foes exploiting its malleable weakness. Writhing tentacles shift his armored robes, and long, clawed arms give him a humanoid appearance when still.
