Minor:

Assyir is the only known Ogre god in modern times, once long ago there were many who claimed to be the gods of ogres. They warred constantly and their wars spilled over unto their followers and there was great bloodshed. Assyir watched from the distance disdaining to participate in what he considered childish games. Then the day came when Assyir foresaw that the others would destroy their followers to meet their ends and defeat their enemies. Assyir had seen enough. The mighty god came forth unto the battlefield of the would-be gods.

Assyir called forth those who would rule over all and challenged them to settle their scores in single combat. They scoffed and jeered at the impudent one who they believed hid because he was weak and they continued to sacrifice their followers in a lost cause. Seeing no other alternative Assyir challenged the most powerful of them to a duel. The most powerful of the would-be-gods accepted and before the others the two fought. It was a titanic battle where the destruction crossed several planes. But when it was done only Assyir was left standing. Assyir then challenged the others to follow a set of rules known only as the code. In response, they attacked en masse.

The histories say that then it quickly became evident to all of the difference in power between Assyir, the true Ogre God, and the others who would-be-gods. This second battle laid waste to everything on the plane that Assyir chose to reside in. The chosen of several other planes tried to seal off entrance to their plane in order to avoid the tide of destruction spilling over. But their efforts were for naught, for Assyirs' mighty power reached far and destroyed much.

When the time came and Assyir faced the last two who would challenge him he accepted the challenge of a duel from the would-be-god and gave him and honorable death. The last challenger looked over the devastation caused by the battle and he said these words, "I weep now, not for my life, but for those countless lives that were lost in this pointless battle. The countless souls sacrificed for our selfish enjoyment. In this last moment, I see the truth. You, Assyir, are the one true god of our people."

He threw down his weapon dropped to one knee and bowed his head. "With my death, let the past deeds be purged. Let time forget and forbid that such a thing should ever happen again. Take my life and give our people a future."

Assyir looked upon the fallen one and found that Assyir could not slay one who has seen the truth. Assyir realized that this one was no longer and enemy and as such declared, "No I shall not take your life." Assyir looked upon the devastation of the many realms and vowed "Never Again." With that Assyir put away his mighty weapon and went unto the people and spread the word of the code. The code of law that rules the Ogre people even unto this very day.

Many people refused to believe that Assyir was the one true god. But over the centuries when their prayers to the old ones went unanswered and unheeded they realized the truth of Assyirs words.

Of the nameless would-be-god, the histories only say that when he was spared he stood up and walked away, leaving behind his weapons and his deceased brethren, never to be seen again.

 Holy Days: There is but one holy day in the Assyirian calendar. That is the day that Assyir brought the code to his people. On this day the priests must spend the day meditating upon the code and reflect upon their actions. Any priest who does not do this may be judged harshly by Assyir. For the followers of Assyir the mediation is optional, but if taken they benefit from a sense of renewed faith and are less prone to despondency or foolish action..
