History Characters / TheDarkEye

All of the main twelve gods have an EvilCounterpart demon lord. They are listed in the order in which their months appear throughout the year, which starts in the [[AlternativeCalendar middle of summer]].
They are said to reside in Alveran, an {{Expy}} of Mount Olympus.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: As written below, Gjalskerlander see him as TheGrimReaper.[[spoiler: There are also some clues that he's not Efferd's and Rondra's son, but Efferd's brother, Numinor.]]
* {{Expy}}/CompositeCharacter: Of [[Myth/NorseMythology Odin and Thor]]. The name Swafnir itself, was [[IHaveManyNames one of Odin's many names]].
** His nemesis Hrangar, is in turn one for Jormungand.
* TheGrimReaper: [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Although only the Gjalskerlander see]] him as such.
* TopGod: Although only for Thorwalians, the rest of the world sees him as a regular god, or even demi-god
* WarGod: is the god of naval battles.

The Orc god of crafts, smithing and fire. [[spoiler:He is simply another name under which Ingerim/Angrosh is worshipped.]]

[[spoiler: The Gyldenlandians worship him as Chrysir, the God of the winds.]]

A H'Ranga in the form of a devourer(T-Rex) who is said to slumber in a lake.

The Goddess of knowledge [[spoiler: and the Achaz incarnation of Hesinde.]]

Another H'Ranga in the form of a devourer(T-Rex) who loves bloodshed and war and has spawned the Leviatanim and Maru people to further his bloodshed. [[spoiler:He is simply the aspect under which all the reptile people worshiped Kor.]]

A minor H'Ranga, a spawn of H'Szinth, who is tied to the moon. [[spoiler:As should be quite obvious from her name, she is simply another version of Mada.]]

The God of the Sun, whose cult was destroyed by Pyrdacor. [[Spoiler: Obviously, it's the name Praios was worshipped under.]]

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

* RedHerring: Ssad'Navv, or Satinav as he is known in human cultures, carried the epithet "the thirteen-horned". This is a double herring. First, the number of horns is generally considered a measure of power among ''demons'', hinting at a possible demonic origin or connection. Second, [[ThirteenIsUnlucky thirteen is a VERY bad number on Ethra]] due to being associated with The Nameless God, the Thirteenth of the Twelve. As it turns out, neither of these actually has any relevance...in his mortal life, Ssad'Navv was a Jharhra, a saurian race looking like humanoid [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratopsia ceratopsian]] dinosaurs, with a total of thirteen horns on the nose and crest.

The eternally young Goddess of life. [[spoiler: It's just another name for Tsa.]]

* FallenAngel: [[spoiler: He's the ruthless half that remained after Nandus' personality split. He willingly choose to become a demon pretty soon after.]]

* ColdSniper: ...As well as this one, no pun intended.
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: Naturally.

* TheMagnificent: the duchess of the swarming chaos, master of chimeras.

* TheMagnificent: The Greedy Bargainer, the Souleating Multiplier of the Bloodspattered Gold

* DepravedBisexual: Just look at some of its names.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Sl]][[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} aa]][[Characters/WarhammerChaosGodsAndDaemons ne]][[Characters/Warhammer40000ChaosGods sh]], although as opposed to Slaanesh, Belkelel doesn't have a particulary strong connection to elves.
* TheMagnificent: Lady of bloody extacy, Lord of the dark rotten passion, the many gendered seducer.

* TheBaroness: Has shades of this.
* BrotherSisterIncest: Well, it's complicated, [[spoiler:while it is her mind, it is also his wife's body and he doesn't know.]]
* FemmeFatale: One of the ways how she (almost) always gets what she wants.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:This is how she escaped decapitation, by switching her soul with the soul of her brothers wife.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:She cheated death by beheading, swapping souls with the wife of her would-be killer]]
* KilledOffForReal: Was beheaded by her own brother towards the end of the thirty five day war.
** [[spoiler:Unfortunately however, she swapped souls just before she was beheaded. She now lives as his wife and finally gets to rule the country almost the way she wanted to.]]
* LadyInRed: Often described as wearing a skintight, blood red and very revealing dresses.
* ReallyGetsAround: Though her lovers might not survive or enjoy the encounter.

* VainSorceress: Quite a bit.

* AnIcePerson: Well an [[EvilCounterpart un-ice person]] but basically the same.

An undead dragon who has a pact with Thargunitoth

* {{Dracolich}}: Exemplifies this trope.
* TheDragon: To Borbarad, bonus points for being an actual dragon!
* GiantFlyer: Naturally.

Matriarch: Shantalla Karinor

* [[PretentiousLatinMotto Pretentious Bosparanian Motto]]: As shown above.

Matriarch of house Karinor

Quote: "A scrupulous career woman without the slightest fear of Boron -- exactly the right woman for us. And she has a great body to boot."

* FemmeFatale / TheVamp: whether she is one or the other is for you to decide.
* KissingCousins: Well kissing and bedding ones uncle, but that is how she became the current matriarch.

Mere thirty years ago they were simply a rich trading house.

----
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Both the house itself and its patriarch. The quote about him and his house goes along the lines: ''Zornbrecht? A good man, a great man, now I really have to go!''

Quote: "The secret of success is that there is none."

* BadassNormal: see the point made under Authority Equals Asskicking.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: See the example given with his house, the quote is about him.
* TheBigGuy: Well... he is over six feet tall and quite massive in stature.

--> '''Nahema:''' In the battle between Good and Evil one can not choose evil and win, for even if you win the war, you still lose yourself.

* PlayingWithFire: what do you expect from a ''fire''-elementalist?

* GoodIsNotNice: He is known for his hot temper.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Averted, obviously. A dwarf in a wizards robe and hat and who is the headmaster of a wizard academy is not exactly regular in fiction.

* ForScience: The reason he did what he did.

* MeaningfulName: 'The Great Ruler' in ancient greek. His specialty is mind control magic.

* {{Munchkin}}: When he was first introduced, he was little more than a band-aid to provide mercenaries with an appropriate deity (since they were poor fits for the honorable and righteous war goddess Rondra). The result was a god for guys who liked killing and gold, i.e. he was basically the god of munchkins and murderhobos. HeGotBetter and more multi-layered, though he never lost his misanthropic disposition.

* DropTheHammer: A special smith's hamme] is carried by his clergy.
* {{Expy}}: of the Greek god [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hephaestus]]
** He has also elements of [[Myth/NorseMythology Odin]], including the fact he's most often depicted with one eye.

* RatedMForManly: An ''extremely'' male deity, with all the usual clichés associated with that. His occasional human worshippers tend to focus on those aspects rather than the WarGod role the orcs favor.

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:Though this is rather because he can't, not because he doesn't want to -- his believers lack the inordination liturgy which enables them to ordain willing individuals into the ranks of his priesthood. Currently, his [[TheChosenOne Chosen One]] is looking for it.

* BladeOnAStick: The signature weapon of his priests is basically a halberd with nine blades instead of one.

* CoolSword: Priests carry a flamberge-style longsword that is both a very practical weapon and an easily recognized symbol of their status (as ONLY the priesthood of Rondra is allowed to carry these blades).

* WeaponOfChoice: All priests of Praios wield a mace with a head that looks like a stylized sun.

* WeaponOfChoice: Most orders which worship her have these. The average priest of Rondra will wield a specific two handed sword.

* {{Expy}}: Of the Greek god [[Myth/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 [[Myth/NorseMythology Aegir]].

* WeaponOfChoice: As stated above his priests use a trident, both for fishing and fighting of naval monstrosities.

* WeaponOfChoice: A special [[DropTheHammer smith's hammer]] is carried by his clergy.

* BladeOnAStick: The [[WeaponOfChoice signature weapon]] of his priests is basically a halberd with nine blades instead of one.

* BaldOfAwesome / BaldOfEvil: YMMV for which of the two he qualifies, maybe both?

* {{GMPC}}: Averted. While rumored of having been this to Ulrich Kiesow, the game's creator, turns out she was merely his favorite NPC among those he created; i.e. more a MarySue than this.
