Ilneval

Ilneval is a lesser deity of the Orc pantheon. A cunning war leader inspiring great loyalty in his followers, he is very diligent in planning his strategies for victory. He is considered the patron of orc crossbreeds, such as ogrillons and tanarukks.

Description
Ilneval appeared as a confident and seemingly war-wise, yet perpetually unsmiling, tall orc. His face and arms were marred heavily by battle scars that only increased his appeal to his orcish followers.

Personality
Bold and direct, Ilneval was a daring leader that charged headfirst into battle with only the destruction of his opposition and triumph over his adversaries on his mind. He was a take-charge figure of inspiring bravery that loathed cowardice and underhandedness, but was not, as one might assume, an unthinking brute.

Indeed, Ilneval was actually a devious strategist, but his careful plans were made before the battle to maximize his odds of success and ensure he inflicted as much damage on the enemy as possible. He was both self-serving and ambitious, preferring to plan the conquest to come rather than reminisce on victories past.

Powers
Ilneval was nearly as strong as the incredibly powerful Bahgtru, and his avatar was immune to non-magical weaponry. It could also use clerical magic and cast domination three times per day.

Possessions
Ilneval's dreadful broadsword was enchanted, and caused profuse bleeding in those it struck unless magic on or above the level of cure serious wounds was applied. There was a chance that any non-orc it hit would be instantly slain.

The War Maker also wore an enchanted suit of red, iron chainmail that deflected all missile weapons (such as arrows), including bolts and rays form spells or spell-like abilities, though it was possible that enchanted missile weapons could harm him.
