Talons of the Godclaw, also known as 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.

Deities

See also: Category:Order of the Godclaw pantheon

Abadar

Serves as the pantheon's lawkeeper.

Asmodeus

Represents mastery of strategy.

Iomedae

Represents the Order's ideal of offensive combat.

Irori

Represents mastery of discipline.

Uirch

Represents the Order's ideal of defensive combat.

Torag represented the Order's ideal of defensive combat prior to the ascension of Uirch through the Crucible, which the orc passed with Torag's aid and endorsement. Uirch's addition to the pantheon also coincided with an increase in orc enlistment within the order. Despite this change, those who worship the pantheon's original incarnation still benefit from its divine powers.

Worshippers

Every Hellknight in the Order of the Godclaw is a worshipper of the pantheon. Some might 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.
