Humakt? Orlanth?
KoS p78, "The Greater Darkness". It sounds as if some of the battles got quite nasty.
"Humakt and his few surviving weaponthanes stood firm while the rest of the army escaped, then withdrew without a hurry even though the foe had snatched away parts of his memory and being..."
"Wakboth held him in two hands, and bit the Sword God in half, and cast the pieces aside. This wound would have killed anyone less than Humakt, but even he was not able to participate any more that day."
"Wakboth parried, and with a single stab he cut Orlanth into forty-eight pieces. Any lesser god would have gone into all forty-nine. But as it was, Orlanth was barely able to blow out of there."
Admittedly these guys don't seem to have stayed dismembered for very long.
And a non-canon Humakti myth

explains how Humakt got cut into ten thousand pieces,
ten thousand times, as part of the process of learning
combat from Kargan Tor.
