Raskinot

Raskinot is a god of strength, retribution, glory and war. Unlike many other gods, where different races harbour a variety of interpretations, Raskinot’s theology is locked to a particular scripture, the Jate Palla, and maintained by a single authority, the Jatandel.

According to the Jate Palla, a holy book comprised of accounts from Raskinot’s comrades and disciples, Raskinot was a mortal man who lived during the Elder Age - a period of history surrounded in mystery that ran from approximately 4000 to 2500 AE. Raskinot worshipped an ancient deity called Omil, who in some accounts was Tane’s father, in others, Tane himself. Omil gifted Raskinot the powers of the paladin to battle Daksharl, the oldest and most dangerous primordial deity, bent on destroying all life on Esharra.

Raskinot’s heroic defeats of Daksharl’s agents form the bulk of the Jate Palla, first assembled by Hylachian knights around 1500 AE. They deified Raskinot and formed the Jatandel - an order of paladins - to act as exemplars of his heroism. After the Fall, they pushed east through Vojaki lands and founded Jatangard in 224 NE, 169 years prior to the founding of Galdra in 393 NE.

The faith of Raskinot is overseen by the Jatandel’s Grand Master. He appoints regional Paragons, who in turn have authority over the clergy, comprised of priests; the monasteries, kept by abbots; and the bastions - military strongholds from which the Order of Raskinot conducts operations.

Raskinot’s symbol is the sword Omil gifted him, Demonbiter. On the blade is the all-seeing eye, symbolising Raskinot’s ability to perceive evil through all disguises.
