In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting and the default pantheon of deities for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Kord is the Suel god of Athletics, Sports, Brawling, Strength, and Courage. Lenard Lakofka created Kord.
Known as the Brawler, Kord is the son of Phaulkon and Syrul, and the grandson of Lendor. He wields Kelmar, a greatsword, in battle, and is a foe of dragonkind, and especially so in the case of lawful evil dragons.
Temples to Kord are most common in the Barbarian States of the Thillonrian Peninsula. Other temples to the Brawler can be found in Alhaster and throughout Keoland.
