Thryn

Greater Goddess The sister of Vandra, Thryn is the Archduchess of Hell. Where Vandra teaches just rule and defense of the weak, Thryn excercises her power to crush the weak and put the strong in power. She loves to subjugate those she percieves as 'lesser', and refuses to give mercy to anyone.

Dogma
The world is a harsh, unforgiving place. The strong rule the weak, and power is the only reward worth having. Cruelty and mercilessness are necessary tools. Order must be forged from Chaos and law from anarchy, but order is meaningless without the will to enforce it. Tyrants are to be obeyed, and dissenters are to be oppressed or killed. Slaves must obey their masters.

Clergy and Temples
The traditional dress of the clergy of Thryn are blood-red robes and horned masks. Clerics of Thryn often work in cooperation with devils, sometimes under the patronage of lesser Dukes of Hell. Her priestly orders are arranged like a military, with a very strict hierarchy and chain of command, much like the Church of Vandra. At the top of Thryn's cult is the High Tyrant. Under her are three Lesser Tyrants, who each command their own troupe of six Legates. Legates oversee the Knights Malevolent, who in turn govern the lowest of the priests, Prelates.

As can be expected, places dedicated to the worship of Thryn double as military fortresses. Priests, blackguards, warriors, and worshippers gather within them to train and pray for strength as they carry out Thryn's will. They are dark, bloody, and grim, and are home to all sorts of unholy acts.
