This article is about the deity Sargonnas; if you are looking for the moon of the same name see here.
Overview
Sargonnas is an angry, militant, and treacherous god, who demands strict obedience from his followers. In times of war and conflict, Sargonnas hears the pleas of the dishonored and the fallen, and he is driven by his desire to respond to those pleas. In addition to stirring the flames of retribution, Sargonnas is the voice of doom for kings and nobles, prefects and warlords. Because he is without compassion and mercy, his servants have gathered beneath his fiery banner and laid waste to whole cities and estates in the name of righteous fury.
Sargonnas was summoned from the Beyond as consort to Takhisis, the Queen of Darkness. It has not been an easy partnership, as Takhisis is the very embodiment of betrayal while Sargonnas is the wrath of those betrayed. Together they have a daughter, Zeboim and a son, Nuitari.
Description
Sargonnas typically appears as a strong, powerfully built, and well-armed minotaur, ogre, or human, clothed in red and black, with iron tools, armor, and weapons. His favored forms include an ebony-skinned man with curving horns and a loose red shirt and breeches; a mighty minotaur warrior twice as tall as a human, wearing heavy blackened plate armor, with a greataxe and a deep, commanding voice; and a hunter in black studded-leather armor, wielding a pair of wickedly curved knives. Sargonnas also appears as a huge red condor or eagle, which speaks in a cultured and elegant voice, or as a fire elemental surrounded by a nimbus of black flames.
The air around Sargonnas is always radiant with heat, and hearts quicken, veins pulse, and emotions boil over in his presence.

Worship
Sargonnas is favored by the minotaurs, who worship him over all other gods and know him as Sargas. To the minotaurs, Sargas represents power gained through brute strength and held with honour. Minotaurs view non-minotaurs with disdain, and often refuse to admit that Sargonnas and Sargas are the same deity.
Most non-minotaur worshippers of Sargonnas view him as a god of vengeance, and his priests are often sought out by individuals who feel they have been wronged, and seek to take revenge on those who have harmed them through unlawful means. Bounty hunters often worship Sargonnas.
