Butarsis
(Greater God)
GENDER:
Male
DESCRIPTION:
Butarsis is the brother of Locanth and the God of earth. He is much more active in the politics of the Gods than his brother is, and he is also more active on Karion. He shares his brother's kindly nature and warm smile, however. Butarsis has a large ego and thinks he is more powerful than he really is (though it should be noted that he is probably the 4th most powerful God, after Illiharn, Hermetradies, and Klemenstra). He looks to Hermetradies for strength but feels that he is also a God of battle. Should the opportunity arise Butarsis would gladly take his place.
Butarsis' home is on top of Mt. Vehran, in the land of Pyromedies. His continent is barren and mountainous, and few mortals feel the need to go there. His mansion is vast, with an underground complex that spans the entire mountain.
STATISTICS:
AL Neutral good; WAL Any good; AoC Earth, stone, metal, and noble warfare; SY A red triangle in a blue circle.
