Im sorry this might be a stupid question: but i dont have any books at hand at this time except the Complete warrior is there is there a god spefically of bloodshed applicable for the Forgotten Realms setting?
And i dont mean destruction and war in general (like Erythnul or Talos) i really mean a god that particularly enjoys it when as much blood is shed as possible (like Khorne in Warhammer)

How about Malar ? His portfolio is hunters, stalking, bloodlust, and evil lycanthropes.
You can find the Faerūnian Deities here:

Erythnul would be about the closest you can get IIRC -- as the god of berserk battle, his is the portfolio most closely resembling bloodshed.

Eythnul is the god of Slaughter, that sounds quite bloodsheddy to me.

Malar is kinda like that I think; god of bloodlust, hunting, evil lycanthropes. He's a subordinate of Talos
Edit: ninja'd by Amiria. I think Malar fits better than Erythnul though

Gargaros from FR is perfect for Khorne, a near replica, minus the axe....he is called the bloody whirlwind and was old god of war but it was stolen rom him and we went mad with bloodlust....like i said...perfect, his clerics are called the blood reavers

Hmmm maybe Erythnul isn't all that off but i recalled his was more destruction. And slaughter only so far as to kill and then leave it like that. While i was more searching for some mad Dont-just-make-them-die-but-make-them-die-with-BLOOD.
Malar as a specific god of bloodlust sounds fine, but
Gargaros from FR is perfect for Khorne, a near replica, minus the axe....he is called the bloody whirlwind and was old god of war but it was stolen rom him and we went mad with bloodlust....like i said...perfect, his clerics are called the blood reavers
This sounds perfect!
In which book do I find him?

Afflux Bloodfather/Bloodspiller from the Libris Mortis could work though his bloodshed is more torture based.

A basic description is in the FRCS (Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting) and of course also on the web site I linked to above.
Garagos' Portfolio is war, skill-at-arms, destruction, plunder, clutching swords.
Hmm, blood is not mentioned there. And he is CN, so it might be possible to play a CG cleric of Garagos ?!
If you want evil, killing-for-killing's-sake, feral, blood-frenzy, bloodbath, mad howling-at-the-moon-murder, then rather go for Malar.

He he he, go Khorne, if I remember right, Gargaros is the god of bloodlust and raging, so yea, good choice, might want to take a few levels of barbarian.
