Rast is the mighty god of battle. It is said that if there is ever a time with no more conflicts to be fought, he would rust away into nothingness. Known as the Lord in Iron, his faithful believe he is present in every iron weapon of war that is forged. He is currently married to Vandra, despite the two gods having very different philosophies. At his wife's behest, he fights an eternal war with Thryn, Vandra's sister and goddess of slavery and tyrrany.

Dogma
Battle is where men are tested and their true nature is revealed. Only in fighting someone can you truly know them, says Rast. When you fight, fight for a cause: war for the sake of war is detestable.

Never back down from a fight, but do not harm any clergymen who work for peace. The full fury of war cannot truly be appreciated if it cannot be rewarded by peace. Wanton butchery is unholy. Treat prisoners properly, show mercy to non-combatants, and plunder only what is needful, such as food and water. Destruction for its own sake is foolish: never vandalize, pillage, or rape.

Confronting a foe with weapons is better than tricking an enemy, and hard bargaining with no bloodshed is better than attacking without parley. Fight for a cause, and let no bully cozen you into surrendering for an ill reason.

Clergy and Temples
This god is worshiped by mercenaries and barbarians all across the world. Knightly followers of Rast believe battle is the true calling of a knight, not tournaments or courtly pursuits. For Iron Knights, strength and determination supersede honor, duty, and fame. More than other orders, Rastian knights are often found as mercenaries.

The barbarians of Ysgard are generally credited with bringing the worship of Rast to the rest of Ohma. He is the only god from the original Skjaalding pantheon that is still worshipped, and most likely the last one alive.

Rast's temples tend to have the appearance of strongholds or citadels. They are walled and gated, and spikes adorn the structure. They are always kept stocked with weapons. Shrines to Rast are typically an organized pile of rocks with a helmet or blade set atop.
