Astrasaz

Astrasaz was known as the Defender of the Home and the Warrior to End All Warriors. When Risaltret formed the pantheon, Astrasaz fell in love with life. He saw that those with sapient thought suffered in the coldness of nature and the bitterness of others. He taught them how to build shelter and how to defend themselves. However, a time came when those who had recieved his teachings turned them against others who could not defend themselves.

Those who had learned under him directly were considered almost god-like on the field of war, but they were no match for the Warrior to End All Warriors. Those that swore an unbreakable vow learned the domestic arts and were thus spared. But though he did try to achieve otherwise, Astrasaz's teaching were so potent that the children of the spared instinctually knew how to fight. Astrasaz spent the time before the War of the Eternals trying to quell the rage that he had brought into life as a result of his actions.
