Description:

The archenemy of Saint_Arkeos is Kyrb, Orcish God of Anti-architecture. Unlike his evil peers in the Orcish pantheon, Kyrb has no bone to pick with good people per se. Rather, he is possessed with a bizarre passion for destroying buildings (great works of architecture, if possible, but his clerics go so far as to light tents on fire if they are having a particularly dry spell, just to stay in practice). Kyrb is one of the most unanimously disliked gods because of his stoic refusal to brook architecture from anyone, good or evil. Even those who believe they have Kyrb's favor by virtue of Orcish blood or chaotic deeds are in for a rude surprise when they take residence in a fortress or, gods forbid, try to build him a church.

While Kyrb hates architecture in all its forms, he realizes that he must exercise restraint lest the forces of good and the forces of evil dogpile his small, disorganized, homeless body of chaotic worshippers. Thus, followers of Kyrb are only required to personally resist the temptations of architecture and to take potshots where they can. Kyrb doesn't demand that you tear down the whole town, but if you could take down a wall at the tavern or break a few columns at the temple, he'd appreciate it.
