== About Aegis ==
[[Aegis]] is the God of War and one of the [[Elder Gods]].
During the mythos, He was supreme commander of the Elder Gods' legions of armies who would finally defeat the [[Triumvirate (mythos)|Triumvirate]] with the help of the newly found [[Greater Dragons|dragons]]. After the Elder Gods' victory, He walked the many [[planes|universes]] spreading war. However, in recent history, He returned to Sapience during the [[War of the Divine Child]]. Since His return, His order has grown and erected many shrines devoted to him, shrines characterised by a mailed fist and flaming scimitar.
He is wed to [[Eris]], Goddess of Chaos. He has two divine children: [[Pandora]], Goddess of Mischief and [[Pandemonium]], God of Strife.
== The Realm of War ==
Many associate the realm of war with the most spectacular and obvious effects of a protacted military campaign. Pictures of armies arrayed against each other are easy to conjure in any of our minds. Sieged walls, knights riding out in armour and even hordes of demons upon the battlefield are the easiest physical manifestations of war that we can imagine.
The realm of Aegis, however, is not limited to the bloody battlefield. Aegis' realm encompasses any skill, task, philosophical or social tactic that contributes to the success of war. Hence, Aegis knows that diplomacy, secrecy, boldness and boastfulness all have a place in the realm of war when used in the appropriate moments.
Although practically any skill, ability or task can be used within the realm of war, it may be easiest to try to categorise those skills or abilities into one of these three types:

# The Path of the Blade
 
The Path of the Lion is for those who seek to learn leadership of an army. Its symbol, the lion, is an apt choice - what other symbol better than the king of beasts? Those following this path learn about war's goals, how to motivate an army and ensure ultimate victory. They are expected to show leadership within the army.


The Path of the Hawk is for those who seek to gather knowledge for the army. Rumours have it that this path is also for those who wish to walk the way of the assassin. With its excellent vision and its ability to sneak up on its prey, the hawk is a natural emblem for this path. Those following this path learn the importance of knowledge to conducting a successful campaign of war. They are expected to search out knowledge using any means that will be of use to the army.
'''Morthif Aristata''' was the first [[adventurer]] to march into battle as an [[Divine Avatar|Avatar]] of War.


Finally, the Path of the Blade is for those who wish to hone their skills in open combat in an army. Those following this path are expected to know about individual combat but also combat as part of a large and varied team. The sharpened blade is an excellent symbol for this path as those following it will slice throught the army's enemies until victory is achieved. Those following this path learn the importance of knowing how to fight well by one's self and with the army. They are expected to be able to demonstrate this to Aegis at His command.
