⚔️ Tempus

God of War, Battle, and Martial Honor

Tempus does not care why you fight—only how. War is neither holy nor evil to him; it is a crucible that reveals truth. Cowards, cheats, and oathbreakers earn his contempt.

He values strength, bravery, and respect between foes. A clean battle honors Tempus; slaughtering the helpless does not.
