Appearance Rasteva is what appears to be a large sentient suit of armor with nothing living contained within. The armor in question is of a make and material not seen anywhere else and is quite ornate in design, and stands at about 16 feet tall. Rasteva's head is what makes up the armor's helm, and is adorned with two large and impressive horns. A single glowing eye can be seen in the helm's visor, and often moves from side to side of its own accord. This eye is more prop than organ, as Rasteva does not need it to see. Itβs instead used to make interacting with other beings easier so that they know if and when they are being addressed. Because Rasteva lacks a face in the traditional sense, they cannot be observed making any facial expressions, and anyone interacting with them will have to suffice with vocal cues in order to understand their moods. Clawed Gauntlets are what Rasteva uses for hands, and are surprisingly dexterous. This allows the Daemon to perform delicate tasks the same as anyone with regular hands.
As is to be expected of a giant suit of armor, Rasteva is exceptionally sturdy and possess immense strength. Whether it is a result of their metal form, or the result of their unwavering conviction, once Rasteva has begun to move they are impossible to stop.
Rasteva is almost always accompanied by a small group of Ravens, and the birds can often be seen perching on their horns and even nesting in their metal body.. The Ravens do not have names nor does Rasteva consider them to be pets, but they clearly enjoy the bird's company.
Rasteva's approach is often heralded by a great flock of Ravens appearing in the sky.

Rasteva sees all life and creation as a part of a cycle. Life is made, it runs its intended course and that life comes to an end. So this order has always been, and so it has always be. Rasteva's sole purpose is to see that cycle follow its course, be it beast, man or the very universe itself. Any and all attempts to sway from the path laid forth by the All Father are met with swift judgement and with out any mercy. Necromancers that desecrate the dead. Mortals meddling in powers beyond their ken in order to gain immortality. Cultists seeking to bring the world to its end before life has fully made its course. All these are equal in Rasteva's eyes, and all these are to be punished. Rasteva stands ready to see the world ushered to its true end as with all things, and stands ready to see it reborn anew so that the cycle may resume once more.
Their ruthlessness in applying punishment to the unworthy tends to make many wary of Rasteva and their judgment, though many hold a great respect for the God's unswaying convictions. As such Rasteva is frequently worshipped the most Law abiding of citizens, usually those of military standing. Despite this Rasteva makes no distinction between the concepts of Good and Evil. They see both of these as two parts of the same whole and takes great pains to ensure that both are found in equal value in the world. While making an effort to rout and destroy high concentrations of Evil should it grow out of hand, Rasteva will also allow Evil to spread in controlled quantities to keep the world's balance.
Rasteva's terrifying appearance and stature is often enough to make anyone wary, but the God is not unkind. Those that approach are treated with great kindness and respect, and the God is found to have a love of conversation willing to listen to even the smallest tales shared by their disciples. Not surprisingly, despite their efforts to remain unbiased, Rasteva is immensely fond of the creatures and people that reside in their domain. A familiar sight to those that live in the shadow of the God's mountain dwelling, Rasteva can often be spotted marching across the frozen tundra as they patrol their holdings.
Rasteva tends to hold their fellow deities in high regard, particularly the Goddess of Fate as it is by her will that all life takes its intended course. While they hold the other Gods in high esteem, Rasteva can be highly critical of them and wishes that a few would take their duties more seriously. It is not uncommon for Rasteva to chide the more easygoing Gods, much as a parent would a child. Rasteva is also ready and willing to bring the more Chaotic individuals of the Pantheon to heel should they be found stepping too far out of line.
EquipmentRaumspalter:A Glaive pole weapon rivaling Rasteva in size, this mighty blade is the God's favorite weapon. Like their armor, Raumspalter is ornately decorated and looks ceremonial in appearance.
