Teseyr (Ta-say-er)
Overview
One of the most powerful invader gods, and leader of the collective pantheon called the Deities of Fury (which also includes Umberlee, Malar, and Auril). Teseyr is a violent, short-tempered, and angry deity who exults in chaos and revels in destruction. Often petty and vengeful, the Storm Lord is a powerful bully and is often motivated by rage and the desire never to appear weak or compromising in any way to his followers.Portfolio and Responsibilities
He is a god whose portfolio includes storms, destruction, rebellion, conflagration, earthquakes, and vortices. The church of Teseyr is relatively small for a deity and almost universally despised, for his followers bring nothing but destruction and leave only ruin in their wake. They are fanatical in their love of destruction and are unafraid to call storms upon ships, towns, or cities in the name of their crazed deity.Divine Domains

Edicts - Preach the might of Teseyr. Walk unafraid in storms, fires, earthquakes, and other disasters. Make others pray to Teseyr in exchange for protection from disaster.
Anathema - Ignore Teseyr. Speak poorly about Teseyr. Allow others to pray to other gods to avoid disaster.
Holidays
Clerics of Teseyr celebrate his annual festivals (Greengrass, Midsummer, and so on) with great ceremonies that call down lightning and summon storms. Their most sacred ritual is Calling Down the Thunder, in which they slay an intelligent being by lightning. The most frequently seen ritual is the Fury, in which a cleric prays, then makes berserk attacks on people and items in an effort to visit considerable destruction on a place or encampment within a short time by hurling spells and burning torches while howling Teseyr name, followed by praying again (if the cleric survives). It is considered most holy when performed by a lone Teseyrian cleric, but against formidable foes, clergy of Teseyr usually attack together or draw off defenders to destroy them singly.
Example Antipaladin Codes
Followers of Teseyr view the world as a place in dire need of upheaval. To them, society's structures and norms are chains waiting to be broken. They see their god's storms and natural disasters as clear indicators of his wrath and approval, drawing inspiration to continue their path of chaotic rebellion. With every gust of wind and bolt of lightning, they believe Teseyr speaks directly to them, guiding them towards the next bastion of order to be upended.- Hold not back the tempest of your emotions. Let the world quake and tremble at your unbridled fury.
- All that is built is but waiting to be torn down. Every city, every monument, every society is a challenge awaiting destruction.
- Tranquility is the enemy. Challenge peace wherever you find it, for stillness hides weakness.
- The Storm Lord does not compromise. Neither shall you. Stand tall, and let the world be the one to bend.
- Your devotion is measured by the ruins you leave behind. Let every toppled building and broken society be a testament to Teseyr's might.
- Consequences are for the meek. We are the tempest, the fury, and the storm incarnate. Let none stand in our way.
