Kord is the Suel god of Athletics, Sports, Brawling, Strength, and Courage. He is known as the Brawler. His symbol is an eight-pointed star composed of spears and maces.
Kord's petitioners dwell in the Hall of the Valiant on Ysgard's first layer, a grand hall made of stout would where there's always a feast - or a wrestling match.
Description
Kord is depicted as a hugely muscular man with a red beard and long red hair. He wears a fighting girdle made from a red dragon's hide, gauntlets from a white dragon's hide, and boots from a blue dragon's hide. He wields the greatsword Kelmar in battle. Kord is sometimes depicted by his urbanized faithful as a more civilized athelete or wrestler.
Relationships
Kord is the son of Phaulkon and Syrul, and the grandson of Lendor. He is a foe of dragonkind, especially lawful evil dragons. Kord's favorite heralds are titans. His allies include eladrin and huge earth elementals.
Worshippers
Kord is the most popular of Suel deities, and his followers are found throughout the Barbarian States of the Thillonrian Peninsula, northern Ulek, Keoland, Almor, Aerdy, Hepmonaland, the Amedio Jungle, Lendore Isle, and in the Bandit Kingdom city of Alhaster.
Creative origins
Kord was created by Lenard Lakofka.
