Arkar, the four eyed god is the god of mischief and trickery in the holy chronicles which makes him a minor god with few prayers and rituals directed directly to him. Despite this does he play a big part in the sagas by being a driving force in several of the history by seeding discord amongst the gods or even actively playing tricks on them. For instance is he known to have caused the four queen war by rolling one of the apples granting immortality into a ting meeting between four kings giving it to "the fairest of queens".
He is called the four eyed god because of his eyes is green but when in anger does his eyes turn red. He either appears as a man with short black hair and his beard trimmed into a pointy goatee or a woman with long black hair and eyes changing between red and green just like the man.
Arkar in the sagas
In the sagas is arkar often a source of trouble and causes troubles for men and women. Often dragging people into conflicts, causing wars or stealing from his fellow gods. He is also a very talented magic caster and able to cast spells in an instance rather than the long rituals mortals and several fellows gods must do.
He is also one of the gods that cares less about the laws of mortals and does not judge people that does but he is also one of the gods that hardly ever gives his blessing to people, in fact is he the only one besides Helia that does not grant blessings to people further adding to him being less worshipped than other gods.
In the war against the Wharen was he one of the gods that objected the strongest against the war and he was also one of the few gods that actually visited the Wharen empire at all when it covered the south. This made him rather disliked by several of the heroes and amongst other did both Imer the great and Belron utterly despite the god and there are several tales called "the Arkar tales" that often follows Arkar during the war and depicts him pulling several pranks on the two heroes.
