Prethagmi

Prethagmi is the god of deserts and sand within the world of Roa. His land is the The Great Desert.

Worship of Prethagmi
Prayer to Prethagmi is usually only done by those who rely on the fruitful side of the harsh barrens and desert in order to survive. Ranging from religious pilgrims, who prefer intellectual thought and development, to fanatic hordes of barbarians and maruaders, many are drawn to worship him for many reasons.

Birth and Life
Being part of an older generation of gods he doesn't hold a huge amount of respect among his peers. This is mainly due to his reclusive nature, and the fact he keeps much to himself, also doubled with the unhospitable nature of his domain. Despite his long age and power, he only really began to become ambitious in recent years, for reasons currently unknown.

Appearance
Prethagmi appears in two forms; the first being a robe clad nomad of regular build, covered in cloth revealing little of his skin or face. The second and more ferocious form is that of a gargantuan, monstrous centipede.

Powers and Abilities
His bare-bone powers of god-hood, including superior strength, speed and intelligence are but part of his array of powers.

One portion of his powers come from his staff, Nidhogg, which allow for manipulation and the creation of sand, whilst his other major power is the ability to shift into a gaint centipede of horrific standards. The extra strength, size and speed his centipede for allows makes it a formidable opponent, however the inability to use his staff or speak hinders it to a purely travel or combat based skill. The size of his centipede form has been revealed to be changeable, depending on his anger or othersuch emotions, and in times of desperation has shown signs of possibly being able to create ultra-sonic wavelengths when in pain or when threatened.

Artifacts
Artifacts are magical and powerful objects that a god possesses. They can be in any form, and do virtually anything.

Nidhogg
The overly bandaged metal rod has the priviledge of being called a sacred artifact, mainly due to it's embued power to control sand and even convert other materials into sand.

Role in the RP
Initially content with a domain and followers, Prethagmi has recently began a more ambitious streak, with his expansion extending into the realms of Vae'ra. Apart from this, he seems to not care much for external affairs, although is willing to meet with Vea'ra due to his intrusion of her lands.

During a recent expansion into Vae'ra's lands, he found himself stuck in one of the outskirt villages of Su'a'kar with no sand to defend himself with, and after a gruelling but quick battle against the united forces of Vae'ra, her Guard Captain Ku'tae, Ommigen, Lazzou and Direcan, he was defeated. He then submitted to Vae'ra's demands, despite the notion that he had no intent of keeping them, and left to return to his own land to rest and heal. In his sleep, his centipede messagers have gathered men from all over the desert in his name, and he's been awoken to the presence of both Ommigen and Lazzou, joined recently by Xarnor.
