Palidah Farr Summary

[ByTheBurnside]

Palidah Farr
Palidah Farr was one of the four elder gods sent to rule and arbit the universe. Palidah far once ruled under Luminara Voth, though at the time he was known as Palid Tamira, and Luminara as Lunira. However, after Lunira’s creation of the Izeri, Palid grew jealous, eventually banding together with a great covenant of minor gods to create the Humans, modeled in their image. After the War Of The Heavens, in which Palid was tricked into waging war against his eldest brother, Palid would take on the name of Palidah Farr. During the Age Of Legends, Palidah would rule as a very close ally to Luminara. Luminara would keep the younger god’s ego in check, and advise the best courses of action for rule, and Palidah would advise on matters of war and justice. Palidah was known for his stubborn honor, honesty, and righteousness. He would wage entire wars over the most minor perceived slights, but would defend to the death the honor of even his gravest enemy if he determined they were being treated unjustly. One such instance involved him defending the torn kingdom of Tatha. Tatha was once ruled by Cylara Tahuur, before he was murdered by his own people. The other gods reacted with utter fury, especially Fiel Cji, Cylara’s brother. However, Palidah Farr intervened, defending the impoverished nation against the united wrath of more or less every god on Pelindra. Many have stated that the entirety of the Age Of Chaos and the Sundering could have been avoided if Palidah had acted less brashley and let the kingdom be destroyed, but some also speculate that perhaps all mortal life could have been extinguished. Palidah Farr was not only a close ally, but an actual friend to the god Syhl Dethi, and later his lover Lady Illidia, something quite rare amongst the gods.
Domains
Palidah is primarily the god of War, Honor, Righteousness, and Justice. Many cultures use his image, a pair of crossed swords with a bow connecting the sword tips, as a symbol of justice.

Appearance
Palidah Farr’s image is perhaps one of the most well known, and certainly the most iconic of all the gods. He is typically depicted as wearing a simple yet impressive set of steel plate armour, with a purple cape and waistcoat. He wore a domed, barbute like helmet, with a steel facemask set underneath it. He is occasionally depicted wielding twinned swords, but most often he is depicted wielding his two handed flaming sword Fethris. Fethris is famous for being so powerful, it drew the envy of Cylara Tahuur, and his own sword Dawn, of similar style.
