"Lord of Animals"

Symbol: Black bow

Focus of Energy

Scholars say there used to be many Rudras - forces designed for particular applications - that emanated from the power of the same name, and that they dispatched themselves from Mechanus, from the gleaming tower they called the Focus. However, one of these Rudras - the energy of storms and disease - slowly drove the others from their ancestral home (or absorbed their energies into itself).

Eventually, that Rudra alone stood triumphant. It went on to dominate the god himself, becoming the Rudra folks know today: a power that tolerates no imperfection among the other gods; the avenger of grievous wrongs; the righter of the balance; and the one who masters the animal instincts and grants the strength to change.
