Renthal

Renthal is a prominent deity among soldiers and leaders. He is worshipped by members of many cultures, however the dwarves have especially claimed him as a signature deity of sorts, generally citing shared ideals, along with records suggesting Renthal was a dwarf himself as a mortal.

Most monarchs, at least those who have been viewed positively by their subjects, have also been followers of Renthal. This has led to the side effect that, even if a major world leader follows a different deity, they often claim worship of Renthal to avoid losing public support.

Like most deities, however, very little is actually known of the god himself. His followers preach loyalty to one's companions, honor, and strength in combat, and so it is assumed Renthal holds to the same ideals.

Avatars
One avatar of Renthal appeared during the Arcane War, after being called by a group of fifty dwarven priests, in a famous event known as the Battle of Elspael Hill. After Renthal's avatar appeared, in the form of a dwarven warrior, he is reported to have laid waste to hundreds of Kahvlarashen warriors. After the battle, however, it is said that he ordered the priests to "never call upon him again" and stripped them of all divine power.

Another avatar of Renthal appeared during the Agarus-Demon War, although no ritual was used to call him. This time, he appeared in the form of a human warrior, which later led to fierce debates for years after as to which avatar was Renthal's true appearance. He is said to have cut down a horde of demons, and saved the life of Cevoir Khahlar, but allowed one single demon to escape, a succubus according to most accounts.
