Hextor

The god of tyranny and immortal enemy of Erythnul, Hextor became known during the second of the Divine Wars. He is worshiped primarily in Ursa-Rumora and serves as a divine justification for the tyranny imposed by the series of warrior kings and queens throughout the nation's history.

History
Though he fought as a lesser god during the first of the Divine Wars, Hextor served as a member of the Gods of Grim during the second war and was revered for his tenacity and wisdom. The second war saw the fall of the Gods of Grim due to Erythnul's killing of several other members who opposed him and his ideals. Worried that he would be next, Hextor began a campaign against Erythnul near the end of the war which ultimately contributed to the evil gods' imminent defeat. Though partially to blame for his part in turning the evil gods against each other, Hextor blamed their loss entirely on Erythnul and many agreed with him. In response, Erythnul declared Hextor a traitor and a coward and challenged him to battle. Following the second Divine War and the creation of the Divine Shield, Erythnul had taken residence in Hell where the battle took place. Hextor, though not able to best Erythnul, matched him and was able to successfully take the mid-layers of Hell for himself leaving the lowest layers to Erythnul.

After several failed attempts to enter the Material Plane, Hextor learned of Erythnul's plan to imbue pieces of his soul into mortals as a means of entering past the Divine Shield. Hextor decided to attempt the same feat and did so before Erythnul, however his lack of patience resulted in only one mortal obtaining a piece of his soul. Erythnul was later able to imbue his soul into _ mortals dubbed the Children of Erythnul, who Hextor has instructed his child, ________, to kill.
