History Characters / TheDarkEye

* {{Badass}}/BadassNormal: see the point made under Authority Equals Asskicking.

* LightIsGood: Is the god of sun and light, as well as justice, and he's viewed as a very benevolent deity by most.

[[Spoiler: Obviously, she's Satuaria.]]

The Orc god of strength and dominance. His Animal is the Bull. His "priests" are the chieftains of the orc tribes. He does not grant them any powers.

* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality: While he has been a minor deity for most of the setting's existence, the Historica Aventurica turned him into the chief deity of knowledge who got sundered into two separate Deities after the Demons invaded reality - a good (Hesinde) and an evil (Amazeran) one. The good half remained in Alveran, while the evil one descended into demonhood pretty quickly.

!!Iribar/Amazeroth

* EldritchAbomination: While he is "just" a dragon when he is born, he becomes an undead who is resummoned over and over and because of that is a walking insactum for Thargunitoth. In the the-gods-can't-hear-you-while-undead-flay-your-soul-from-your-body-kind. Next to Borbarad and Pardona he is the most monstrous villain in TheDarkEye.

A capricious, easily angered sorceress of prodigious power and uncertain origin.

! Pyriander Di'Ariarchos
Guild: Grey

The open minded and fiery speaker, as well as the grandmaster of fire of the council of elements.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Sl]][[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} aa]][[Characters/WarhammerChaosGodsAndDaemons ne]][[Warhammer40000ChaosGods sh]], althoughas opposed to Slaanesh, Belkelel doesn't have a particulary strong connection to elves.

* {{Expy}}: To the [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology Mesopotamian god Shamash]], right down to sharing near identical symbols. [[CompositeCharacter Although he also has elements]] of the Persian Mitra, and [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Egyptian Re]]. The ancient saurian cult of [[SssssnakeTalk Pprss]], on the other hand, made him an expy of [[Myth/AztecMythology Huitzlipochtli]] (with blood sacrifices on stepped pyramids and everything). And his role, when comparing the Twelve Gods, with the [[GreekMythology Olympians]], is roughly analogus to both Zeus, and Apollo.

** [[CompositeCharacter Also has traits of]] the [[NorseMythology Norse goddess Freyja]], although the ones more connected to war, and one of the two patrons of the slain(along with Odin), rather than sorcery and love. She also has a lion as her symbol, like Freyja, who was connected to cats. Another similarity with figures from Norse mythology, are the {{Valkyries}}, with whom Freyja is also sometimes connected with. And as the child of the TopGod, who is more popular than him, and deity of thunderstorms, Rondra also resembles a [[GenderFlip female Thor]].

* {{Expy}}: Of the Greek god [[ClassicalMythology Poseidon]], right down to the [[WeaponOfChoice trident]] that most of his priests use.
** Efferd's connection to storms, as well as the fact he's one of the [[OurGiantsAreBigger Giants]]/[[OurTitansAreDifferent Titans]], who joined the Twelve Gods, likens him to [[NorseMythology Aegir]].

* {{Composite|Character}} {{Expy}}: of the Greek gods [[ClassicalMythology Morpheus and Hades]].

* {{Expy}}: of the Greek god [[ClassicalMythology Hephaestus]]
** He has also elements of [[NorseMythology Odin]], including the fact he's most often depicted with one eye.

* {{Composite|Character}} {{Expy}}: Of the Greek gods [[ClassicalMythology Aphrodite and Bacchus]].

* {{Expy}}: Quite obvious, but at the same time could be derived of both the ClassicalMythology Gaea as well as the Norse Idea that the world is the body of a slain giant.

* {{Expy}}/CompositeCharacter: Of [[NorseMythology Odin and Thor]]. The name Swafnir itself, was [[IHaveManyNames one of Odin's many names]].

* {{Expy}}: To the [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology Mesopotamian god Shamash]], right down to sharing near identical symbols. [[CompositeCharacter Although he also has elements]] of the Persian Mitra, and [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Egyptian Re]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: As written below, Gjalskerlander see him as a DeathGod.[[spoiler: There are also some clues that he's not Efferd's and Rondra's son, but Efferd's brother, Numinor.]]
* DeathGod: [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Although only the Gjalskerlander see]] him as such.

* WarGod: Swafnir is the god of naval battles.

** {{Expy}}/CompositeCharacter: Of [[NorseMythology Odin and Thor]]. The name Swafnir itself, was [[IHaveManyNames one of Odin's many names]].
