Prince Ashlagya

Prince Ashlagya the Bloodsport, Hunter of Life

Prince Ashlagya is one of the V'Hir, Sons of the god Agrik. Hunting down the fleeing, chasing the weak, and slaying those who think they have escaped danger are the joys of Ashlagya. When Ashlagya partakes in a battle, the term 'survivor' becomes a very temporary one. Amongst his kin, it is he who most enjoys the spoils of war; rape, booty, and the other depravities that are the right of the victor. The greater and more worthy the prey, the greater the hunt and thus the more enjoyed by Ashlagya. While as great a warrior as any of his brethren, he is most known for his cunning and ability to trap his victims. Ashlagya's hunts and snares are not merely for the ultimate death of his victims; they are also games designed to fill them with terror and amuse himself. He likes to wound his victims and let them escape time and again to prolong the hunt. Ashlagya trapped his brother Rashkahn after turning an ambush around on him. He locked Rashkahn within Ak-Syt, tortured and dismembered him, before Agrik ended the affair. The two have been at war since.

Ashlagya wields a fiery trident called Gangrik, the Everseeker. Its barbed prongs are used to pin a victim to the ground (or other available terrain feature) while Ashlagya gloats over and terrifies them, before letting them try to run again. It is said that if the Bloodsport ever decides the prey is no longer worthy of his effort or time, Ashlagya will hurl Gangrik into the air. The trident will then streak through the multiverse and slay the target no matter where they hide.

Ashlagya is petitioned by Agrikans for any type of hunt, be it for animals, enemies, or treasure. An effigy of that which is sought is often burnt as a sacrifice before the hunt. Soldiers also seek Ashlagya's aid to find hidden booty and ripe virgins for the taking as spoils of war.

Symbol: A black, immolated trident.
