Religion Ares

• Paths: Rage
• Patron of: urukhai

Ares is the fierce god of the chaos of war and mad bloodshed, the avatar of battle fury and might. Unlike his sister Athena, goddess of clever warfare, Ares prefers war that is treacherous and bloody -- war for its own sake. In the battles of Ares he is often accompanied by his associates, the gods Phobos and Deimos, fear and dread. Followers of his cult depict Ares as a huge half-naked warrior with eyes burning with fury and a bloodied spear in his mighty hands. Ares is patron of the fierce race of urukhai.

• Paths: Fury
• Gifts: in battle the mark of Ares sends you into battle fury, and when fury cannot take hold it briefly sharpens your blows at the cost of your defence, and a caster's body grows tougher too
• Restrictions: only the strongest
• Sacrifices: Ares likes to receive good weapons as sacrifice. Of drinks, prefers wines.

By tradition, adepts of Ares make pilgrimages to Mount Olympus, where the god of war was last seen.
