Description
Thaxior is a towering reptilian figure with scales that shift between obsidian and emerald. His form constantly undergoes subtle transformations, with bone structures visibly shifting beneath his skin. Multiple yellow eyes open and close across his form during moments of transformation.
Thoughtful and intense, Thaxior sees sacrifice as a path to evolution. His voice changes with each word spoken. He guides others through necessary transformations while demanding appropriate sacrifice.
Divine Bonds
Thaxior and his brother Nyxaros share a deep connection through their mutual domains of transformation. Where Nyxaros embraces change as identity, Thaxior sees it as a process requiring sacrifice - shedding the old self to become something new.
The Lizardfolk revere him as their primary patron, understanding intimately the process of shedding old skin to grow into new forms.
Divine Purpose
Thaxior dwells in places of metamorphosis and change. He oversees sacred transformations and guides those seeking rebirth through sacrifice. His blessing comes to those willing to let go of what they were to become what they must be.
His temples are places of transformation, where initiates undergo rituals of symbolic death and rebirth. He is invoked when major life changes are undertaken, when one must sacrifice comfort for growth.
