Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup; massive misuse. Tried to edit the sentence to still flow despite the trope being cut and I didn't know which replacement trope applied.


* {{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]]

* 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.

* 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.

* {{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]].

* {{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.
