Llerg is the Suel god of Beasts and Strength. Among the savage Suel tribes of the Amedio Jungle and Hepmonaland, he is known as Hlerg. His symbols are representations of a bear, a snake, or an alligator.

Description

Llerg is depicted as a powerful, bearded, shaggy-haired man dressed in furs and a fighting girdle, or as a huge bear, snake, or alligator. These three animals are sacred to him. He is speculated to be the creator of the giant and dire variety of these species. Llerg weilds a broadsword, though is prone to fighting unarmed utilizing the enhanced strength of his magical girdle

Relationships

Llerg is an ally of Vatun, has a friendly rivalry with Kord, and is an enemy of Telchur. Both Hextor and Heironeous bare enmity towards Llerg. As a general rule, Llerg is indifferent to most other gods, viewing them as too civilized.

Realm

Llerg's realm in Limbo is called Beasthaven.

Dogma

Llerg espouses a belief system largely centered on the emulation of apex predators and that Strength is at the heart of what makes one worthy of respect. Be as fierce as you can, if you lose touch with your inner animal your as good as dead.

Worshipers

The berserkers amongst the ice barbarians who pay him homage are known to be particularly fierce fearless and animalistic, though little else is known about them.

Clergy

Llerg is served by clerics and druids, who ofter wear bear, alligator or snake skins for religous ceremonies. He is the second most worshipped deity in the barbarian states after Kord. Upon reaching fifth level his clergy must defeat a bear in single combat in order to advance further. His clergy is not attacked by animals summoned or otherwise unless attacked first, and the preservation of predatory animals is the primary concern for druids in his service. His clergy often act as intermediaries between barbarian tribes, aid in hunting in times of scarcity and train young warriors in both armed and unarmed combat. The favored weapons of his clergy are battleaxes and longsword, sometimes relayed as battleaxes only, despite Llerg being depicted as favoring a Broadsword.

Holy days, temples, and rituals

Llerg has a temple in Hesuel Ilshar

Creative origins

Len Lakofka, who created the Suel pantheon for Dragon magazine, originally intended to name this deity Grell. However, as the name clashed with the name of an existing monster, he was renamed Llerg.^{[citation needed]}
