Yeah, this god is the self-proclaimed deity of humans, and his philosophy teaches his followers that, no matter how equal the races are, humans are always more equal than all. His followers support outright destroying civilizations of non-human races-whether by burning down an elven forest, or using dynamite to collapse a mining facility on top of a dwarven team, from framing innocent members of high crime to forcefully aborting pregnant women who are bearing the child of a non-human, their view on life is simple but sadistic-humans are the true rulers, and all other forms of life will either buckle under slavery, or die.
In ancient text (which most is long forgotten), it appears that Coyakir was an apprentice to Aroden when he was still a mortal man. How Coyakir managed to become a deity is unknown, as no text exists that suggests his path to divinity-but many scholars agree that he passed the test on the Starstone, although this is still not fully accepted.
However, there is another way that Coyakir may have achieved his status as a God-by murdering Aroden. Despite that no text exists of the King of All assassinating Aroden, there are scattered text that reveal that he and his apprentice have had a major quarrel after Aroden reached divinity, and ever since, Coyakir had felt brutal hatred for the God. Indeed, the church of Coyakir outright executes any member of the faith of Iomedae-who they claim is the "heir to the Weakling", a term that religious historians believe was a term that Coyakir's faithful applied to Aroden (the Weakling) and "the Bastard Heir" to Iomedae.
The faithful of the King of All is cruel and egotistical, claiming that their God is the one true deity, while all others are either slaves meant to buckle under his feet, or outright slaughtered. Coyakir seems to get along the most with Norgober, although to call them allies is an insult-it seems more likely that Coyakir respects the God of murder for his elusive nature. All other deities have hatred for the King of All-mainly Iomedae, due to her relations with Aroden, but Asmodeus, Cayden Cailen, Desna, Erastil, Sarenrae, Shelyn, and Torag also receive major hatred. Most of the clergy of Coyakir are antipaladins, inquisitioners, barbarians, or rangers, although wizards who study on either abjuration or evocation are also known to join.
What do you think?
Matches the evil alignment for sure. I just wish humans could have a patron deity not abhorrent to worship, the way elves and dwarves get them.

And then they made a new one, bigger and better-er than the old model.

You must mean our Lord Asmodeus of course.

What country are we in? Either him or Iomedae.
I don't think Asmodeus has an official role as the Heir to Aroden. MOre like the Usurper.

As-mode-us is the God of Lawyers. Humans love law and lawyers. It's a natural progression.
Io-med-aaayyyy is the God of Picking Aroden's Messes. Humans love it when someone cleans up their messes for them. It's a natural progression.
Surprised the two of them aren't working more closely together. OR ARE THEY?
In no way is this guy not Lawful Evil. Seriously, you put Him right up there with Hitler and the Daleks.
You could replace the Fire domain with the Law domain that way, too (hence fixing your subdomain dilemma - I'm not sure why poor Fire has to be maligned so).
Yeah, I had the idea of a tyrannical god, and he ended up being a deity version of Hitler. (Whether I should be proud of that or just scared at the thought of Hitler being a God, I don't know.)
He originally was Lawful Evil, but I changed it cause I forgot about what it meant to be Lawful Evil-a tyrant or dictator. So...yeah, he'll have the Law domain instead of Fire.
