To make any claim that Garagos is a servant of Tempus would be to invite a bitch-fit the likes of which you have never seen. Originally thought slain in the early battles over who would become "Lord of Battles", Garagos was actually dormant and has only reappeared recently when a [[Demon]] entered the realms and started using Garagos name to start an evil cult of war and fury, prompting the real Garagos to manifest and rip it a new one.

He represents war in its pure form of rage and violence, though in earlier times, he was considered to be more even-tempered. Since his return, he is said to have lost all sense of mercy. It is believed these changes to his mentality forced him to move his divine realm from chaotic [[Limbo]] to the more dour/insane [[Pandemonium]], either that or he was secretly in love with someone ''(it is not mentioned who, although his clergy is forbidden from acting against the church of [[Shar]]),'' and the move to Pandemonium represented him giving up all hope. Other punters say this is retarded and that Garagos had just started his decline into pure evil, with his realm moving with him.

It is thought that Tempus keeps him around for some reason, possibly because he ''didn't want'' the aspects of Garagos' portfolio to merge with his own. Other thinkers believe that Tempus is allowing him to continue with existence because he knows that someone else might challenge him for the position of "Lord of Battles" such as interloper gods of war from other realms ''([[Anhur]] from the Mulhorandi pantheon comes to mind)''. Therefore Tempus may be keeping him around to use a stalking horse to flush out any potential rivals. 

In any case, Garagos doesn't care what Tempus' intentions are and seeks to unseat his old enemy himself, though he simply doesn't have the power ''(or the brains)'' to do so.

Avatars of Garagos appear as multi-armed giants wielding a different weapon in each hand. The number of arms varies but is never less than five, and he can grow new ones at will. Alternate forms include a floating mist of blood that acts as a poison to anyone other than the faithful of Garagos. For unknown reasons, at certain times of year when the stars align in a particular way, his avatar and those of [[Sharess]] and [[Jergal]] are summoned to Godswalk Keep in the Border Kingdoms of the realms as part of the '''"Meeting of the Three"'''. Lucky adventurers who witness this event gain the power of ''Trueseeing'' for one day per level, though to actually witness this event you need to be within line-of-sight to the raging multi-armed avatar of the [[Rip and Tear|god of indiscriminate destruction]] and actually survive the experience.

===Red Knight===

Red Knight is the goddess of strategy and planning. Where Tempus is the lord of martial skill, warriors and "Battle" in general. Red Knight is the patron of officers and strategists, who string enough battles to win "Wars". Originally Red Knight was thought to just be an aspect of Tempus himself, and was only really known to manifest in dreams of chessboards to the faithful, whose moves revealed future strategies that would lead to victory. However it seems she has since coalesced into a separate deity, possibly  in order to counterbalance the de-stabilising influence on war brought on by the return of Garagos. Her appearance during the Time of Troubles cemented her as an independent entity worthy of worship and so has begun forming her own sects away from Tempus.

However, Red Knight has a very limited clergy, and few temples that are separate from those that actually belong to Tempus ''(who doesn't have very many anyway, considering that he is worshipped on the battlefield)'' however, as wars become more sophisticated, her influence grows. Not only that but she has found allies in deities who are typically unassociated with Tempus such as [[Torm]], and actually coaxed [[Valkur]] to join within Tempus' remit as a deity of naval battles.

===Uthgar===
{{Infobox Deity
|Name = Uthgar
|Symbol = [[File:Uthgar symbols.png|175px]]<br>Totem spirit, depends on the tribe worshipping
|Aliases = Battle Father, Father of the Uthgardt
|Alignment = Chaotic Neutral
|Divine Rank = Demigod
|Pantheon = Faerûn
|Portfolio = Physical Strength, The Uthgardt Tribes
|Domains = Animal, Chaos, Retribution, Strength, War
|Home Plane = '''Great Wheel:''' ''Warrior's Rest'' ([[Limbo]])<br>'''World Tree/World Axis:''' ''Uthgardtheim'' (Warrior's Rest)
|Worshippers = Uthgardt tribe members
|Favoured Weapon = ''Foestriker'' (Battleaxe)
}}
Born as '''Uthgar Gardolfsson''' to a [[Vikings|northlander]] thane, Uthgar spent the majority of his life raiding and pillaging the many settlements along the Sword Coast. Eventually, he raided the city of Illusk, slaying its [[wizard]] rulers. Whilst expecting to be lauded as a hero for killing the rulers, because magic = bad, he was instead driven inland along with his crew. They managed to survive the many dangers lurking inland and continued raiding villages they came across. Eventually the group Uthgar lead grew from the survivor impressed by his skill, and from villages who swore fealty to him. When an [[orc]] horde came from the mountains, Uthgar rallied his men and the villages to fight against them. Evetually Uthgar died after fighting the [[giant]] Gurt, succumbing to his wounds. The remaining followers renamed themselves as the Uthgardt, after their leader, which gave Tempus enough of a reason to elevate him to a demigod.

The way Uthgar is worshipped depends on the tribe, who took their names from the [[Primal Spirits|totem spirits]] Uthgar tamed to serve him during his life, and serve as intermediaries between him and the tribes. The tribes are:
*Black Lion (CG)
*Black Raven (CE)
*Blue Bear (CE)
*Elk (CN)
*Gray Wolf (CN, destroyed by a [[Selûne|Selûnite]] crusade)
*Golden Eagle (?, disappeared centuries ago)
*Great Worm (CG)
*Griffon (TN, destroyed)
*Red Tiger (CN)
*Red Pony (?, disappeared centuries ago)
*Sky Pony (CN)
*Treeghost (NG)
*Thunderbeast (CN, disappeared)

===Valkur===
{{Infobox Deity
|Name = Valkur
|Symbol = A cloud and three lightning bolts

|Alignment = Chaotic Good
|Divine Rank = Demigod
|Pantheon = Core / Faerûn

|Domains = '''3E:''' Air, Chaos, Good, Oceans, Protection<br>'''5E:''' Tempest, War
|Home Plane = '''Great Wheel:''' ''Safe Harbor'' ([[Ysgard]])<br>'''World Tree/World Axis:''' ''Safe Harbor'' (Warrior's Rest)

Not much is known about Valkur's origins, other that he was a ship captain from Mintarn who supposedly challenged [[Umberlee]] herself and managed to beat her, earning him elevation to becoming a demigod, with help from the Red Knight. He is depicted as a jolly sea captain, complete with blue coat and black beard, manning the helm of his great galleon '''''Windjammer''''' which can fly. 

His worship is performed on seagoing vessels, and many of his clerics ''(called "Wavetamers")'' act as crewmen on ships to the point that they can receive double-blessings from [[Selûne]] to aid their navigation skill due to the fact that both deities are friends. Even though he has is own vessel; the Windjammer, his primary temple is actually a separate vessel called '''''The Schooner of the Seas''''' which may have been gifted to Valkur by [[Gond]] and is unmatched in size and speed, serving as a floating cathedral. A second floating church called '''''The Temple of Endless Waves and Wind''''' is built on the back of a giant sea turtle and swims around the Sea of Fallen Stars and is said to have reached its location by being carried overland on back of an army of reef giants during the [[Time of Troubles]].

Valkur does have temples on land which are marked by tall wooden columns and sheets of cloth reminiscent of ship masts, though he is practically unknown in inland areas. Originally he was considered somewhat unreliable as a deity of choice, since he would routinely forget to answer the prayers of his faithful, causing him to become a god to be placated rather than venerated, though since the Time of Troubles his attitude became far more pro-active and hence his worship spread rapidly.

Of this merry little pantheon of battle-demigods, Valkur is the only one to have actually expanded into the Core D&D pantheon, getting his profile reprinted in ''Stormwrack'' where he exists in pretty much exactly the same form.
