Dragon Riders of Na'Gordal

The three Dragon Riders of Na'Gordal are the sons of the Sky God Terden, God of War and an un-named Goddess of the Forest. Orcish myths say that they were conceived by violation, other sources stay silent on the subject. In standing, they are somewhat above regular demi-gods, but form their own pantheon, not being in close relation to any other lineage of gods. They are of the few Godkind that make their appearance in the mortal world often, and are revered in various, often unconnected parts, most notably the Southern Archipelag, Ódensbarad and the Orcrealms. 

The scriptures describe them as such:

Endúrlah, Herald of Violence. He wears black armor and rides a golden red dragon. His weapon is the glaive. He is of fair hair and pale skin. His reverence is often connected with the Rívashian cults and Oldebranaists. There exists an Order of the Knights of Endúrlah in the Eastern Kingdoms.

Endúrloh, twin to Endúrlah, God of Lust. He wears a pale yellow armor and rides a blood pink dragon. His weapon is the silver-shafted spear. He has black hair and blue eyes. He is revered as a fertility god in the Orcrealms and among the die-hard Oldebranaist cults. 

Nivúsien, God of Death in Battle. His armor is black and rides an anthracite-scaled dragon. His weapon is the spiked morningstar. He never takes off his helmet. He is associated with Onho, Sky God of Death, and stands somewhat separately from the other two Riders. According to some variations in the Eastern Kingdoms folklore, he is tasked with carrying the dead fallen in battle to the Golden Halls of Terden. Nevertheless, on most occasions the three are seen together, riding the sky on their great mounts.
