Etos(God of Peace)

Etos is the god of peace, born of the union of Yala(Goddess of Life) and Ius(God of the Moon). When the world was still young, his godly predecessors fought constantly over their domains. Fearing their fights spilling over to her new creations, Yala seduced her brother the Moon and from their union Etos was formed. Quickly getting to work in his duty, the God of Peace stilled the hearts of his fellow gods. He was gifted not only with the magic to manipulate the hearts of others, but also to enforce his peace by his own hand. Etos found himself in conflicts with many of his peers, particularly with his nephew War. The two fought many conflicts for the fate of Man, though Etos found himself at a disadvantage due to the constantly expansionist nature of humans.

Etos did his best to remain neutral during the Godswar. While Sifor was undoubtedly the aggressor, the humans constant infighting and warfare hardly ingratiated himself to their cause. But when it was clear that his bretheren would annihilate themselves, he sought to at least spare the races of man. He turned their hearts with his peaceful divinity, issuing a plea for them to lay down their arms and embrace each other as brothers. Millions were spared by his actions. Even in death, he is worshiped by many such individuals who found a shard of Etos within himself.

When the creations of Vodon, the first orcs, began to scour the world, Etos saw in their fury and opportunity for redemption. He began to surreptitiously influence their kind, leading those with potential to the desert. It was a hard life, but those that embraced it found peace from their baser desires. The orcs of Clan Flatrock worship Ogun for providing them shelter, but those truly enlightened members worship Etos as their godly patron instead.

Many celestial creatures were formed from Etos's divinity, though the unicorn and the pegasus are the two most prominent examples. Pegasi are fairly common even in the world today, with areas in Brennis and Ocarus even having wild packs of the creatures. Unicorns on the other hand are exceedingly rare, with no confirmed sightings since the Godswar. Legends say that the unicorn had innate knowledge of good and evil, and would help anyone truly in need.
