Dyrene

The third Spawn of Time, Dyrene is the god of war and battle. Lesser ideals such as anger and rage are often tied to her as well.

Dyrene, while perhaps not the most chaotic of her siblings, does have a hand in the way the world reacts to it's stimulants. Though this mainly comes in the form of anger and pain. The need to see things burn to the ground. The need one feels in the heat of battle to be the last one standing.

The creation of Dyrene brought about the first true signs of war, as well as the massive destruction that comes with it. Had it not been for her older brother, Koesis, the bodies would have been pilling up by the numbers.

Mythology
The legends out there that speak of Dyrene all have different tales of where the god of war came from. The main legend that revolves around her creation speaks of her being forged by a legendary blacksmith, commanded to create a new god from their fires by Oxano. At the heart of it, she was to be created for war. For battle.

Dyrene, personality wise, is said to be the most steadfast of her siblings. She is incredibly hard to sway one way or another. Frankly, to move her from her stance would be akin to moving a mountain. She is often attested to be more of a logical type, preferring to look at all the information at hand over reacting out of emotion. Those who see war and battle as just another part of life will describe Dyrene as a war-torn general, just wanting to keep her mortals from meeting a quick death.

In traditional paintings of the god, she is drawn as a haggard general, her expression often painted in one of pain and distaste. She is often found standing over a map, heavily contemplating her next move. The goddess of life is often depicted by her side as well in these images.

Those who are less fond of the god will use her as an example of the brutal parts of war. The needless slaughter just to prove one nation is stronger than the other. Those with this mindset describe Dyrene as a bloodthirsty solider, wanting nothing more than to watch the world burn. These tales don't hold much weight as they used to, as over the years most major war has died down to nothing more than petty fights between neighbors.

Values
Dyrene is said to value those who are able to think before they dare to act. As the god of war, it is said she is fond of those who are able to watch from the sidelines and plan out their actions before following through. But, in the same breath, it's just as important to see one's decisions out- even to the bitter end. In times of war there are times that require thought and there are times that require action.

Worship
Dyrene is mostly called out to during times of war.

The more militant nation of Adrastea often use the god as an example of what a true soldier should be. Many of their war leaders and soldiers turn to the god when in the heat of battle. They pray to her in order to receive her strength and tact, even if it is just a shrivel of it. Devout soldiers were crave symbols representing the god into their armor and weapons, hoping to get an edge on their enemies.

Though, throughout history, Dyrene has been incredibly neutral when it comes to war.
