Draxos is the [[God]] of Pain, Suffering and Sacrifice. Although absolutely and unrepentantly evil and hated by almost everyone - including most of his own worshippers - he is nevertheless powerful and widely worshipped, thanks largely to the belief that by worshipping Draxos his eyes will be turned elsewhere.

Known for his cunning, manipulative nature as well as his great cruelty, Draxos is a master of subtle, long-term planning and it is not uncommon to find him blamed for every great tragedy in [[Reshomme]]'s long history. The true extent of his involvement with these events will probably never be known, but moderately convincing theories connect him to the fall of the [[Amma]] and the death of [[Menkharra]] as well as to the destruction of [[Danton]] and the rise of [[Sulansis]], as well as to many other such things.

Draxos is most often pictured as a bald, bearded man in a black robe - but if truth be told little is known about his true appearance. Stories of Draxos feature him in many forms, sometimes appealing and at other times horrific or monstrous. His symbol is the Burning Skull.

Organised cults of Draxos are illegal in most civilised lands, and worship of him is generally secretive. Priests of Draxos are shadowy, elusive figures - manipulating events behind the scenes to bring the greatest suffering possible. His followers adhere to the simple [[Code of Draxos]].

+Draxos is the [[God]] of Fear, Strategy and Manipulation, although he is sometimes acclaimed patron of Deceit, Pain or Sacrifice. Many consider him to be evil, but in truth he simply seems disinterested in the suffering of others (especially mortals) - finding it to be but one of many tools at his disposal. He is sometimes known as the Great General, recognising his role in the terrible wars that first led the Gods to seek refuge at [[Reshomme]].
