Arethus Stormlord

God of change, death, storms, and war

God of change, death, storms, and war, Arethus' avatar is a giant humanoid with seamless human, elven, and orcish features. Arethus is widely believed to be one of the oldest of the Ausranic gods. Arethus' priesthood has no formal hierarchy; leaders acquire power through amassing personal followings. The most influential, charismatic clerics gain or lose followers through personal influence rather than station or title. This means that persuasion and consensus-building are the main tools used to shape the direction of the congregation. This type of direct democracy can often be messy and inefficient, meaning that the influence and power of Arethusian clerics in the world frequently waxes and wanes as more or less competent clerics gain followers. Arethus has a friendly rivalry with the Old God Findra the Prophet of War. The two often wrestle, duel, and compete in feats of strength and war.
