The Lord of Battles, Galatar

Galatar, The Lord of Battles, god of war. Galatar is the true god of war, it's all he concerns himself with. The Lord of Battles loves a well laid battle plan, but he loves a well excecuted battle plan even more. Even though The One-Eyed was the original god of war, The Lord of Battles usurped most of this portfolio from him due to The One-Eyed's particular concern for orcs. This said, The One-Eyed is still a god of war. Born during the First Wars, The Lord of Battles loved to look down upon the battles as they raged, often give a nudge here or there to heroes that caught his fancy. Thus it was that he became The Lord of Battles. Galatar chose no sides during these early conflicts, nor has he truly taken a side during any war since. The Lord of Battles loves glorious battles, and will usually change sides during the course of fight in order to prolong the fight as long a possible. On occasion, he has also been known to work behind the scenes to provoke nations or groups into war, just so he could sit back and watch the battles that would ensue. All soldiers and warriors pray to him before a battle, as he has been known to help the greatest soldiers achieve what seem like impossible feats on the battlefield.
