I am the claw of Upsu's fury. When evil gives away the clues, I will definitely do it, and this will never satisfy the malice of my enemies.
when I am doing nothing, I will embark on a journey to explore a new focus. Avenue 3 thousand, each take one.
I will never die in peace except guarding others. When I should retreat, I will retreat. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
I will show kindness, but I can't do it again. Those who fail to live up to my goodwill, I will hunt down the poor.
conviction is only part of my goal. When necessary, I will stay and help my protected people to become self-reliant.
know apsu
according to the legend of the dragon, there were two kinds of water at the beginning of time, fresh water and salt water, and later apsu and _ _' s companion, Tiamat. The couple gave birth to the dragon gods who created all mortal worlds, but their eldest son, Dahak, the destroyer, went on a rampage to Hell, making it a place of darkness and fire.
Dahak reached out to his brothers and sisters and destroyed them one by one; The defeated but surviving dragon gods constitute the first generation of metal dragons, which are projected to the material plane as van dragons. This angered Tamsui, who realized that he had to be named before he could come to the physical plane to deal with his son. So Danshui proclaimed the word of God: "I will be Upsu, because I am the beginning.
The descendants of the metal dragon of the gods are helping Upsu to fight against Dahak. And after the battle, Dahak was finally knocked down at a painful price, and many dragons were seriously injured. Just as Upsu was preparing to make a fatal blow to _' s son, Dahak called out to his mother, the great salt water. Salt water doesn't want to see _' s eldest son die, and still nameless _ provides treatment to the survivors who have become cruel because of the fighting, in exchange for their efforts to save Dahak's life. Weakness and pain made some dragons agree, and good was replaced by evil, igniting the struggle between metal dragons and colored dragons.
Dahak escaped from his father's claws. Although the metal dragons were ready to pursue, Upsu told them to release their anger another day. Then Upsu asked why _' s partner helped _' s rebellious son, but she just named herself Tiamat, the mother of all things-a name that still brought pain to all dragons-and accused Upsu of being responsible for _' s child's death. Then Tiamat expelled Upsu from their original field, and Upsu vowed that one day, he would stand up against Dahak.
The bitter hostility between Upsu and Dahak has been the source of discord among dragons in the universe ever since. Upsu has accepted the inevitability of the final confrontation with his son, and for unknown reasons, he chose Guerlain as his last defense. Apsu's incarnation is a dragon that dwarfs the most majestic dragon, combining solemnity and grandeur. _ Silver scales are shining like pearls. When in this state, Upsu guided the mortals at the same time, preparing for the coming of the final World War I between him and Dahak.
Church
The connection between Upsu and Gloria is mainly focused on the fact that the world will host the final confrontation with its son. Dahak, either out of fear or out of rare foresight, chose not to force the conflict. On the contrary, the agents of both countries are working silently in Granion, trying to prepare for the upcoming and inevitable conflict. With such a dragon-focused background, Upsu's admirers have no centralized church in Granion-the closest one is a group of organizations called Platinum Band.
Platinum Gang is a group of Apsu worshippers who are brothers. It has two official offices: Opala, the capital of Hutart, and a consulate in Shuikeng District of Abdessalem. Its members are recruited from those who know and respect the history of Central Apsu and Dahak. This group is mainly composed of human beings, as well as a few other anthropoid races, all of which are aware of the upcoming battle between the dragon gods, and are most likely to support the camp of Upsu and defend all life in the universe. The Platinum Sect provides building support for the actions of the mortal worshippers in Upsu, even though it is not a formal church and is supported by senior members to maintain the meager property of the organization.
Periodically, bronze dragons who talk directly with Upsu visit the representatives of the guild in the form of human beings and convey important information from the gods, because _ rarely (if any) talks with non-dragons. Some people say that this is because no human-like creature can withstand the pure power in Upsu's voice without going crazy. It is also said that this is because the gods think that anthropoid creatures, especially human beings, are too fickle or not pious enough to communicate directly with _.
among the dragons in the inland sea area, many people respect Upsu. However, usually only the bronze dragon and the golden dragon maintain the direct connection with their gods. The bronze dragon acts as the messenger of Upsu and the golden dragon acts as the model of Upsu's belief. The latter also has the ability to summon dragons, and all but the most gloomy black dragon will attend. Sometimes, sociable brass dragons will serve as servants and diplomats of Upsu, but they are not particularly pious. Upsu's belief is not limited to metal dragons, however-even some of the meanest colored dragons revere and promise to support Upsu-they can show any dragon's posture and any characteristics they want to show in front of their followers.
There are several organizations devoted to the cause of Upsu outside Granion, and the closest one is in Triaxus. In that world, members of the Dragon Legion were trained to fight with the Dragonkin (monster figure _5 pg. 98) and defend their territory. Those who were selected into the Dragon Corps were often instructed by the teachings of Upsu. Although their leaders forbade priests to reveal their patron's contact with Glarion, I was afraid that this knowledge might attract young soldiers to try to go to that world prematurely to assist their gods' efforts. On the contrary, Cui Yaxiu's Dragon Corps hopes to build a grand army one day and dedicate it to Upsu on the eve of the final conflict with ruthless Dahak.
shrines and altars
The architectural styles of places dedicated to Apsu vary from place to place. These places are rarely seen on the Granion, because this formal religion is classified as only a dragon or a small group of humanoid creatures will believe in it. Most temples and altars in Apsu are made of stone, with sacred instruments of gold and platinum, as well as solid stone platforms and altars. Huge polished mirrors are embedded in the ground in the center of each altar and supervised by a large silver statue representing Upsu. [Note: In short, it is the appearance of the holy emblem] In other respects, the guides have hardly compiled standards for the places of worship of _. Admirers are contemplating their achievements while staring in the mirror to ensure that the fight against evil has not driven them away from the path of goodness.
The first and most famous temples in Apsu are giant buildings made of silver, gold and platinum floating in the half plane of the individual. The only feature of these sturdy and magnificent buildings is several peninsular landing pads, each of which is enough for the super-giant dragon to land or take off. Moreover, the interior of this free-floating sanctuary is dotted with vibrant silver light.
