Urox

By Bruce Ferrie

Note! This is a fan contribution which has been superceded by official material.

Urox is the Storm Bull, the greatest chaos fighter of the Storm Tribe. He is a god of wild fury and untamed animal power. His rage and bravery are powerful enough to defeat even chaos, and he led the war against chaos in the Darkness Age. He fought Wakboth the Devil and trapped him beneath a mountain of adamant, so he is grudgingly accepted among the Heortling barbarians. Urox and his worshippers are generally considered to be dangerous fanatics.

Entry Requirements: Urox demands that his followers not be tainted by chaos , that they swear to follow their leaders in the cult and that they be proven warriors with their own arms and equipment.
Mental Abilities: Bully, Inspire Warriors, Outrage Social Mores, Mutter About "Stench of Chaos", Mythology of Urox.
Physical Abilities: Splint and Bandage, [Weapon] Fighting.
Affinities: Chaos Fighter (Ignore Chaos Blows, Rally Warriors vs. Chaos, Smell Stench of Chaos)
The Bull (Hide of the Bull, Berserk Rage of the Bull, Strength of the Bull, The Bull's Charge)
Combat (Mighty Blow of the Bull, Roar of Bravery, Smell Enemy Nearby, Stare Down Foe).
Secret: Fight On (When berserk, can fight on even when driven below 0 AP, until driven to Complete Defeat. The berserk ignores all wound penalties during this final frenzy. If used as an augmentation to other abilities, it allows the berserker to ignore pain and wounds, fighting on without penalties or even a bonus due to the power of the Bull).
Worshippers: Warriors, social outcasts, berserks, chaos fighters.
Other Side: Urox roams the Storm Hills, from where initiates may exit to the Darkness Age or the Storm Age to fight chaos. After death, Uroxi ride and feast with the Bull, fighting gloriously in the Eternal Battle against encroaching chaos. Urox is known to pursue the souls of worshippers slain by chaos, even so far as to rescue them from the pits of entropy beyond the cosmos.
Other Connections: All Chaos deities and spirits are traditional enemies. Urox is barely tolerated by the Storm pantheon.
Disadvantages: Urox is accepted by the Storm pantheon, but his followers are still viewed as dangerous psychopaths and outsiders and are therefore outcasts from normal Heortling society.
