Original Name: ______ _____

Spirit/Current Name(s): Yumi

Vessel Name(s): Seki

Human Appearance:

15aadd6538f78bc7faaa6de8390d873f4dc6c192.jpg

Weapon/Item Appearance(s):
Like her name suggests, Yumi takes the form of a traditional Japanese bow and quiver. The weapon heavily resembles the evil-banishing bow and evil-banishing arrows used by Emperor Jimmu and Yorimasu Minamoto. A small sight is positioned near the top, allowing the bow to detect weak points on phantoms for devastatingly effective attacks. However, the twanging of the bowstring is often enough to deal with enemies, making them cower from the frightening sound or crumble from the vibrations sent through the air.

Current Relationships: Hachiman- It's difficult to tell who is the servant and who is the master in this relationship. While Yumi has a great amount of respect for Hachiman and is always loyal, she has little patience for him. She is the main one in charge of wrangling him in and putting him to work. She's not afraid to get rough, willing to use force to clear the god's head and put him in his place. As much as Hachiman likes to mess around and tease his most trusted regalia, he tries to hold back so she doesn't become too scary, but he often fails.

After so many years together, the two know everything about each other. As much as they bicker, their cooperation is second to none. There are no servants in Hachiman's family, and the same goes for Yumi. She is his closest friend and the one who set him on the right path when he was once filled with doubt. Even when Yumi was still alive, the two have been an inseparable pair.

Personality: Yumi is a stoic individual who takes her duties as a regalia very seriously. She does well at maintaining composure and grace in everything she does, always displaying a combination of strength and elegance. Much like her master, however, she lets her respectful and dutiful self vanish when serious matters have been dealt with.

While she is normally compassionate and unflappable, Yumi can be intense when upset. Her god and fellow regalia know this well, often being on the receiving end of her wrath. She doesn't tolerate slacking off when there's work to be done, willing to use force to drag people back to the jobs they're meant to be doing. When annoyed, she often displays a calm, bone-chilling anger that strikes fear into those nearby. She doesn't like to act on this and prefers to give people chances, but she has less patience when it comes to her god. As described by Hachiman, she is scarier than any phantom and stronger than any god.

In the family of nine, Yumi is somewhat like an elder sister. She is gentle and responsible, but can easily use her authority when others need to be kept in line. She has not changed at all since her death, possessing an unbreakable will and sense of duty. Her loyalty and strength of spirit will always remain, no matter how much time passes.

God's Greatest Secret:
Chitose was an only child who became orphaned at a young age, and had a rough time in the orphanage as he was bullied by the older kids repeatedly until he decided to fight back. They dragged him out to the woods of their small mountain village and beat him up pretty badly, and on the way back long after the older kids had left him he had slipped down a steep slope and hit his head. He wasn't found until days later, dead. Years after he wandered down from the mountain and met Kuebiko and was named to help the god fight a rather large phantom. At some point he learned his true name, but didn't care about his old life since he had a new and better one serving as Kuebiko's blessed vessel.

Phantom Aria
Name: P_AriaSoul(Stage Name) aka Aria
Age: 2 years
Gender: Female
Appearance:
75B951D6-8EB3-41DA-B7BB-51875E34DA07.jpeg
Negative emotions/sin you were born from:
Toxic Adoration(Coveting)
History:
Aria was a siren phantom living in the sea a mindless mass of phantasmic scales that would sing to wayward souls lost at sea drowning them in the tide below before devouring their souls. She recently transformed out of necessity for survival. She was chased from the ocean and her only solace was land where normally she would have been unable to even move but then something stirred within her and she changed...
For a time she simply explored this new world that had been unknown to her so she learned soaking up as much knowledge as she could and a few stray spirits along the way. She found her call worked on land as well however not in the same exact way. With lots of practice she perfected her new voice and using her new found experiences to establish her new domain as an idol. Lots of fish for the catching in this vast sea of emotion.
Current Relationships: She does have a few followers so far that when she isn’t using them as an energy source, is manipulating them to sew seeds of longing in others and acting as her management and stage crew.
Place in the underworld: None atm
Personality: A diva through and through learning most of how to behave off of videos/films and reading magazines. Always bubbly and energetic unless she gets pissed off only then her more siren side creeps forwards. Still tends to manage her persona rather well resorting to her darker side behind closed curtains and back stage.
Has an unfulfilling desire for chocolate though...
Strengths/Virtues: Holding a note, Manipulation, Her looks.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Physically weaker than most phantoms, also not one for thinking things through entirely, Lack of attention span unless truly focused on something. Anything with Chocolate.
Fears: Losing her voice, Never being adored again.
Special abilities:
Falsetto Cry:
Her voice rises to a piercing range that can disorient most humans (without ear protection) and some spirits.
Everlasting Encore: Her bread and butter is turning the masses into her devotees and having them do her dirty work for her, whether that be combat or errands.
Other than her vocal abilities she does have heightened physical prowess as a phantom and can blight others if she attacks them.

Original Name: Izumi Namae
Spirit/Current Name(s): #7142


Human Appearance:
b7c63ac9bdb713623a07efc7167405d1.jpg


#7142 has messy black hair and eyes that are heterochromic; his right being blueish-gray while his left is a somewhat honeyed amber. He usually wears t-shirts and jeans or sweatpants with a dark hoodie to keep his bandaged body as protected as possible from harsh weather or if he's simply self conscious. Most of his body is bandaged.



Age: Appears to be at least 12, yet has been dead for about 20 years.

Gender: Male



Vessel Name(s)/Weapon/Item Appearance(s):

Vessel Name: TBD

Regalia Name: TBD

Former Vessel Name: Kyūki

Former Regalia Name: Hisame

FESK_Broken_Sword.png

God’s Greatest Secret:

The boy once known as Izumi Namae came from a household with quite a few older siblings. Him and his siblings were always loud and rambunctious, and Izumi himself always found himself getting into trouble and finding ways to hurt himself while playing. He always caused concern and a bone tired weariness in their parents, but they loved him all the same.

His family, as big as it was, was originally a family of farmers until one of his older brothers went to find work elsewhere, sending what money he could back to the family. Then one cold winter, Izumi had woken early, hoping to get a head start on helping his mother with breakfast, but when she instructed him to keep an eye on the stove while she went to get something he forgot and left it unattended.


By the time he realized his mistake a fire had started. He tried to help put it out, but to no avail. He couldn't reach the fire extinguisher, and while the fire didn't kill him then and there, the only others seriously injured were his mother and the family dog, as far as he was aware before he had blacked out and came to en route to the nearest hospital and by the time he was rushed in and had doctors looking at him he didn't make it.


Afterlife Experiences:

He stuck mostly to the streets and went to any abandoned shrine that was are when he ran into one a Phantom one evening. A regalia of a nearby shrine saw and quickly came to his aid before ushering him inside, offering to teach him how to defend himself and maybe introduce him to the god she served.

#7142 had been taken to the SSA Branch in Kyoto after things didn't work out with his first god. Said god didn't want him after being stung twice, and had one o his older regalia take him to the SSA after revoking the name and wished him luck with finding the right god for him. 7142 just hopes the god that might choose him in the future isn't a total jerk.


Current Relationships:
Nana-he thinks she's pretty cool if a bit stiff

#4389- He hasn't interacted with her much, but he thinks she's cute, almost like a sister.

Konjin- They had a rocky relationship after spending more time with each other, but they tolerated each other in the beginning.

Miname-The Regalia he met that introduced him to Konjin and taught him the basics of defending himself. He hasn't talked to her much since she dropped him off at the SSA.

TBD



Personality:

#7142 is honest like most children are, but tends to say things that may come off as rude or mean spirited when he simply doesn't have the best brain to mouth filter. He can at times be a bit sensitive about his appearance and how it may be off putting to others, but he won't let that stop him from doing something he'd like to do as long as it isn't strenuous or boring. He enjoys videogames and make believe, and has a vague understanding of trends like memes and such. While not the most tech savvy, he's no stranger to computers and phones and while his last god had given him one the plan had been taken off of it but he still keeps it on hand.

Appearance:
Aohitsugi.Samatoki.full.2757820.jpg


A man who stands at 6'2" with messy white hair more often than not slicked back and intense red eyes that seem to glow when angry as his very pupils thin into slits like a cat. His style to dress is either a worn dark leather jacket with the words 'Life's Not Fair' on the back, sneakers and ripped jeans, or whatever he finds that he wants to wear that Miname won't gripe about when it comes to his sometimes lazy 'throw whatever on, who cares if it matches?' mentality.

Name: Ushitora no Konjin| Konjin (Patron Deity of Metals)
Current Status: Staying in his shrine in Kyoto at the moment.

Legend: a Kami of metals linked with Onmyōdō and astrology, he had been considered a evil and violent god of chaos, until he was said to have cursed Bunji Kawate with an illness until he apologized, from there eventually came the practice of Konkōkyō which he has some association with. From Konkōkyō eventually rose Ōmodo, formed by Nao Deguchi who he was said to have possessed to help further spread the teachings that he was a benevolent god.

Akira Seguichi (Human) - Student council member at Shirotome High. It's rumored at the school that his father (the CEO of a big name marketing company in Kyoto) is one of the leaders of AFAH, though he neither confirms or denies it. He doesn't care one way or another about gods. Never seen one in fact and finds all the religious hubbub stupid. His only focus is the next student council president election, which he intends to run for. He's in charge of the budgets for many club activities in Shirotome High and is good friends with Kenji Yamamoto.

Appearance:
Tokine.Yukimura.full.2403521.jpg


A friend of Hiroki and Ayumu's, and a classmate of Hiroki's. While Hiroki comes off as bubbly and cute with his way of speaking to most to get his way, it doesn't work on her and she doesn't coddle him. She makes sure to remind him to try and get proper sleep, and on some occasions let him borrow her notes if he misses a class. Both her and Ayumu agree that Hiroki drinks too much coffee sometimes. She also doe her best to motivate and encourage either Ayumu or Hiroki to do engaging activities, as long as they're not dumb in Hiroki's case.

While not open about her faith, she still believes in the gods somewhat. Her faith was much stronger in her youth, and while she doesn't care if someone doesn't believe in them she really doesn't like AFAH or how far they went with it. She has no problem stating her opinion on AFAH when they're brought up.

Sawabi (Takuki): Comparatively to the other two. Despite working as an employee at Yakko's Cleaning Service and as a regalia for the cleaning god, he himself is not organized or good at cleaning. His weapon form is a revolver and he works with Seiketsu to create custom bullets filled with the god's special brand of Holy water to be more effective against phantoms.

Members of Yaksha
Hiro (Yaksha 1)
Tether-Horn
Uses his fists drenched in holy water

989B038B-FF5C-489F-9920-46628F568879.jpeg

One of the first recruited by Jin, he was actually a member of the Japanese special forces until his indecision during an op caused his teams death the resulting spiral allowed his heart to be corrupted and that was when he found out about the far shore and was subsequently recruited. Seen as the units leader/coordinator.
Tatsuki (Yaksha 2)
Tether-Wings
Uses blessed bow and arrow

11F724AD-2069-418B-A207-DDDEC5658E83.jpeg

Tatsuki was a college student working towards a medical degree, one day a massive pile up caused him to spur into action and as he tried to assist those dying in agony their cries brought phantoms. He thought he was going to die alongside his patients but Hiro showed up and together they fought them back. He joined SDP and became Yaksha shortly after. Seen as the units medic.
Momoko (Yaksha 3)
Tether- Tail (no horns)
Uses a blessed prayer beads to locate and mark targets

5C801EDE-C1A6-425C-ADAF-536B67672752.jpeg
Momoko is a businesswoman and still runs her restaurant/bar when not working with the SDP. Surprisingly she tends to be the most informed of the group keeping an ear out for supernatural occurrences with the help of the agency and of course gossip. Seen as the units navigational operator.
Baal (Jin) (Yaksha 4)
CAE9C45C-0A25-4D02-B52C-88ACCE6185C7.jpeg

The man who started it all, he approached an influential governmental authority and proved the existence of the far shore. He then worked heavily alongside scientists, occultists and military to get the SDP where it was today.
Although he is seen as the figurehead for the Yaksha’s he is not necessarily in charge at least not publicly within the organization.
Much is to known about the man, seeing as he is able to only be seen by those he chooses.

Yaksha’s and the SDP
Organized in secret by certain parties of the government run and operated by members of the occult. The SDP’s main goal is to eradicate the supernatural that seems to plague the populace unknowingly to the humans of Japan.
In order to accomplish this they delved into ancient texts unearthed from a pre-dated shrine which spoke of humans who had the ability to see and interact with demons and gods.
The organization set out in secret to locate and acquire individuals like these. Through the means of science and magic at the guidance of Jin they managed to elevate these abilities in these certain humans.
The fee they have managed to find and train into the program are now known as the Yaksha’s.
All have the ability to leave their human bodies and combat the supernatural forces that inhabit the planet.
Jin however seemed to have increased abilities already and is the head of the program whilst also being the fourth member.
All members utilize “blessed” weapons to aid them in fighting phantoms and though they have yet to come across a Kami as of yet they have certain orders when that does occur.
The SDP was formed as a cover task force to provide as their cover and help explain damages and exploits the Yaksha’s may need to accomplish a mission. Men in black talking about gas leaks and the like.
All member except Jin fall out of their bodies to gain their abilities and in turn receive demonic looking traits which are in fact their tethers to their human bodies.
Tails, Horns, Wings. All have the same properties in that being grabbed can cause them pain and incapacitate them. Their human bodies are also at risk and are usually kept within an armored vehicle for their safety.
Every Yaksha uses weapons that are either blessed objects and serve a specific function or holy water to aid them in causing damage to phantoms.
While the program is still in its infancy it has produced many insights into this “other world”
The team descends into.
Scientists and Occult supervisors are the majority of the task force encompassing the organization along side the Yaksha’s.
What they can learn will help them eradicate the problems that plague mankind and put an end to it once and for all.
Blessed weapons: Most are just normal weapons with a scientific twist that imbues the properties of siphoned holy water to assist in damaging phantoms.
Others like Momoko’s prayer beads are ritualistic items from a time when magic was prevalent and used widespread. These items are used for specific purposes and are not used for combat.

Name: Kuzuryū, Patron Deity of Rain and Rivers

Current Status: Considered Missing

Legend: A Nine-Headed dragon said to live at the bottom of Lake Ashi of Hakone. During the Nara Period he demanded the sacrifice of daughters from the village until the Priest Makan prayed for 3 days at his shrine. Since then, offerings are mostly rice and beans.

He has since become more mellowed out, that is until the war 10 years ago and the destruction of his shrine. In anger due to that and the factor of losing one of his regalia in one of the many conflicts between the Heavens and Phantoms, he had become the nine headed dragon feared in legend, and not even his Sanki tasked with watching over his shrine at the time knows exactly what happened to him and his remaining regalia between then and the present.

During one of the many battles between gods and phantoms Kuzuryū had lost one of his tools, and in a blind rage shifted into his dragon form and fought viciously until he simply couldn't anymore.

Clan Name: -Gi

The youngest of the River God's arsenal, having joined the little regalia family sometime in the 1990's. While Sugi is a blade with water properties, Hagi is one with wind properties. He's able to create cutting blades of wind for long distance attacks as well as in close quarters.

Sugi (Sanki) [檆]- One of Kuzuryū's blades, has been beside him since the Nara Period when she became one of his few sacrifices turned regalia. She is a blade with water properties, so far able to coat her blade in water and use it to cut through objects and Phantoms, as well as use it to protect her blade and her god, but hasn't had the chance to try and do anything new with said water abilities.

Things to be added: Clan, Regalia & Followers
fullbody_2.pngName:
Camulous

Alternative Names/Title: God of Treachery & Conquest

Age by Appearance: Late Forties

In Actuality: The actual age of Camulous has been debated with his supposed origins dating as far back as 200 BC, and as far forward as 100 AD. There are no individuals alive today who can properly date when Camulous actually came to be.

Gender: Male

Personality: When it comes to Camulous, there is no such thing as a feat that is too difficult to overcome. His unyielding, and unrelenting faith in his power leads to him coming off as condescending. While many would like to believe the rumors circling around Camulous to be false, that would be as far from truth as possible. If anything, Camulous leans into the rumors spread about him, and further solidifies their claims. He's extremely brash, arrogant, and quite unpleasant to have any form of conversation with. Furthermore, Camulous is an individual who will almost always step on people to better himself, and further extend his own potential power.

However, there is something worth noting when you look at Camulous, and that is his different titles. Each title, those being... God of Conquest, God of Treachery or The Monarch of Desecration... may give you a different glimpse into the twisted personality of Camulous. Depending on which title Camulous is taking up at the time of his encounter will dictate a change in his personality. For a prime example, The God of Conquest is merciless and follows the strict code of the strong consuming the weak. However, the God of Treachery looks to overcome obstacles and odds by less aggressive means using his wits over brawn. Whilst, The Monarch of Desecration is where Camulous takes on a more destructive role and aims to ruin things others have strove to build.

Wish from which you were born: "Behold my call, God of Power, I stand surrounded by my enemies. I wish to cleave through their forces, and bring about a swift defeat to those who stand before us!" / "I aim to conquer this land that I stand upon controlled by my mortal enemy. Please heed my call, grant my warriors a blessing beyond the grasp of us mere mortals, and raise bloodshed on these foreign lands!"

This duality of wishes brought forth by two opposing factions, and their warriors, on the same battlefield were granted in succession. Thus these cumulation of wishes were the essence that created the God of Conquest Camulous.

Legends: Camulous has obtained two particular legends that directly apply to him, and those are... Slayer of Lords & The Monarch of Desecration. Both of these legends are well spread between both Near-Shore & Far-Shore, however, Camulous is more infamous in Far-Shore than he would be in Near-Shore. In fact, most individuals from Far-Shore don't even speak of Camulous by name, and instead refer to him as the Monarch of Desecration.

Current Relationships: (Describe the notable any notable ones you have with other gods, spirits, humans, the heavenly army, etc. Can also be left tbd.)

History/Legend:

During an era where war spread rampant, and it spread monotheism like a plague, a Pagan Sect was thrust into the midst of this on-going conflict. With their impossible to obtain desires to conquer their enemies, this Pagan Sect was forced to pull out the teachings of a once prevalent god. These old teachings spoke of a power granted, and bestowed upon others by one God who was named Camulous. It spoke of the relations of this mighty god who had relations with many gods that spread across different religious influences. It even spoke about how the greed for Camulous' power brought about the end of different civilizations, and the death of many great warriors. It was exactly what they needed, and luck would have it this Pagan Sect adopted the belief of Shorn, The God of Loyalty & Oaths, the once right hand man of Camulous. Yet, things didn't go as planned, the emergence of Camulous brought great dangers, and immediately he forced his way up the hierarchy of the Gods & Goddesses. The Pagan Sect's reimagining of Camulous made him more volatile, dangerous, and it brought about a change to the way this once great god had been.

It didn't stop there, Camulous forged pacts with different Gods & Goddesses having them act beneath him, and allow him to rule over them. He established his authority, and began to use Shorn as a way to screen warriors who would be worthy of his great blessings. These warriors were tested in Constitution, Knowledge, Desire, and a test of loyalty before they were even considered worthy of such a blessing from Camulous. It thinned the hordes, and pushed away those who were stained with treachery towards their own people, and exposed that very treacherous nature as well. Each who forsake their nature were provided a safe passage, and those who refused Camulous were slain without a seconds hesitation. As of now, only the strong were allowed to live, and the weakest of the society were culled to make room for others to take their place. Among those Gods & Goddesses who were beneath Camulous, one of their Shinki were chosen to be the executioner of the very people who worshipped their own Gods & Goddesses. It was a task that many Shinki would be unable to take, and would frequently fall into blight. Then, out of those Shinki who showed weakness, they were even slain by Camulous in front of their own Gods & Goddesses with no mercy.

It was a vast stream of Bloodshed, numerous purification rituals were had, and many a God & Goddesses even lost a blessed regalia to the hand of Camulous. It was just the beginning though, Camulous would continue to pressure his fellow Gods & Goddesses with an attempt to whittle away their power to oppose him. All at the same time, Camulous was brought numerous spirits to become his own regalia and expand his own threshold of power beneath his very feet. Beneath Camulous' blessings, the Pagen Sect grew in numbers, and their own power became enough to fight back against their enemies. It was finally possible for them to defend themselves, and with each victory their faith in Camulous grew deeper, and they cared less for the other Gods & Goddesses who once were their life line.

With the power of others dwindling, Camulous felt no threat, and he let the other Gods & Goddesses rebel against him. They called him a traitor, and spoke of how he was bringing their own worshipers to ruin before their very eyes. It started small, they would deny his tasks, and began to protect their own against him. Then as they gained 'confidence' they began to lash out further, and soon enough the numbers against Camulous grew. Eventually all twelve Gods & Goddesses banded together against Camulous, and an all out war ensued to strike down this 'God of Treachery' who stole their worshippers from them. Before Camulous, these Gods & Goddesses were merely whelps unworthy of his time, but their vast numbers and growing number of regalia were enough to peak his interest.

A massive clash occurred between the thirteen, but even with a twelve against one, Camulous found himself still stronger than their combined strengths. He used his regalia to their utmost potential, and even further beyond that, bringing them to their limit. It was here that Camulous' regalia numbers would begin to dwindle, and his own regalia would shatter from the clash between Gods & Goddesses. Where one would fall, another would come to Camulous' aid, and their absolute loyalty to him could be considered a sickness in the eyes of others. By harnessing every ounce of his power, and holding nothing back, one by one other Gods & Goddesses were slain by his hand. Eventually, after a prolonged battle of twelve hours, three remained on the opposing force battered and forced to retreat from Camulous as he stood there still more than willing to fight them. However, Camulous' greed, and interest in conquering those who rebelled against him brought about a harsh reality to him. The very Pantheon Based Pagan sect that believed in him to their very core, had been dealt a fatal blow by losing many of the Gods & Goddesses that once supported them at one time. Now, they faced poverty, famine, sickness, and a great decrease in fertility within their population due to the missing Gods & Goddesses who supported them.

The ordeal spread quickly by the three remaining Gods & Goddesses who fled from Camulous, and he was labeled as a treacherous beast who would bite the hand that feeds at any opportunity. It quickly stained his reputation, and no longer was he solely worshipped for his original calling. These rumors had spread, and took off like a wild fire. It was shortly there after, Camulous became officially known as the God of Treachery & Conquest. Forcing his hand to become a God who could rely on no other but himself, as many who would cross his path would know of what happened to the former Gods & Goddesses who were beneath him.

This, and a sequence of future events, would be the starting line that would create Camulous' path to becoming known as 'The Monarch of Desecration'.

Special Abilities:

Territorial Siege:
Locations or regions Camulous announces his intention to lay claim to or conquer allows for this ability to activate. Upon publicly announcing his conquest, Camulous garners a massive increase in strength, and overall power that makes him far more formidable in their territory.

There is no silence, no subtle attacks, when Camulous comes, you will be aware. For deep down, you will feel his approach, and he will make himself known.
It has been said that some people have used Camulous' power against him. With this power, and his overwhelming confidence, he finds himself susceptible to a loophole. An individual or entity may remove/revoke their claim on the territory temporarily, and it will immediately remove all benefits from Camulous' Territorial Siege. Then one may overwhelm him as any other, whether by sheer power, force or anything in-between.
If Camulous fails to apprehend a territory, and is pushed back victor gains Camulous' blessing for their victory against him. With each blessing Camulous gives, he loses a portion of his power, and his ability may never be activated on those who have gained his blessings.

Fragmented Blessings: Upon a failure to besiege an enemies territory, Camulous will bestow a blessing upon the the territory, and their leader for their victory. A blessing of Camulous takes away from his stock of overall strength, and makes the ruler's land an invalid target for his Territorial Siege. On top of this, size and power of a territory determines the strength of blessing received by Camulous. A victory obtained by a territory with an overarching strength will receive a larger blessing on behalf of Camulous. Whereas, smaller territories will not be favored for an overarching feat of strength if they defeat Camulous and unfortunately, will only receive a lesser blessing.

With each failure, the effect of Fragmented Blessings is increased, and Camulous' power is chipped away at further by this effect. Blessings left behind by Camulous remain with the victor until they either die or reincarnate. A blessing may be exchanged to call upon a favor from Camulous, and in turn, Camulous will aid the individual to his fullest extent regardless of the request. With a blessing then removed, Camulous will regain that strength that was initially lost.

Fears: When it comes to fears, Camulous believes that with fear comes the opportunity to grow oneself. It goes without saying regarding this particular mindset that Camulous confronts all things that he fears, regardless of any outcome. With this being said, Camulous is afraid of War Gods who can confront him on equal footing, despite the challenge it may present. On top of this, Camulous is afraid of the Gods & Goddesses whom have large followings, and have been around for unfathomable times. Strangely enough, Camulous also finds the Near-Shore to be rather unpleasant despite his entire Godship being based around Human's bloodshed, and their hunger for conquests.

Shrine: Camulous originally had two shrines that were constructed for him by two nations at war with one another. These started as Camulous' sole points of worship, and were the foothold that gave him room to grow, and prosper as a god. Yet, the fate of these two nations led to the annihilation of each other leaving both of his initial shrines in complete ruin. However, it was thanks to the spread of their culture, and their scripture that Camulous was no longer solely worshipped by these nations. In spite of Camulous' two original shrines having been destroyed, the remnants left over from them can still be found at their original resting place.

Since that time, Camulous has never had another shrine dedicated solely to him as a God of Conquest, or a God of Conquest. There is a few shrines that exist to worship multiple gods that actually include Camulous among them. On top of this, there is a select few shrines that Camulous has 'acquired' when the Gods/Goddesses who it originally belonged to faded to obscurity.
