The Godclaw is a pantheon worshipped by Hellknights of the Order of the Godclaw. The members of the pantheon are venerated as exemplars of law in opposition to chaos. The Order's depictions of the pantheon portray its deities as more severe and heavily armored than those by other worshippers. The entire Godclaw is represented as a five-pointed star, the same icon as the Order's symbol.1

Members

The pantheon is composed of five deities:1

  • Abadar, who serves as the pantheon's lawkeeper.
  • Asmodeus, who represents mastery of strategy.
  • Iomedae, who represents the Order's ideal of offensive combat.
  • Irori, who represents mastery of discipline.
  • Torag, who represents the Order's ideal of defensive combat.

Worshippers

Every Hellknight in the Order of the Godclaw is a worshipper of the pantheon. Some may elevate one deity over the others, but all are expected to venerate the entire pantheon. Hellknights who become fanatics for a single member of the pantheon are unwelcome within the Order. Members of the Order of the Godclaw are aware of their unorthodox interpretations of the pantheon, but see the pantheon as a synthesis of the individual deities' dedication to order through eliminating disorder.1
