Talos, God of Storms

Summary

Talos, also known as The Storm Lord, is the greater deity of storms and destruction. His dogma was self-serving, demanding utter obedience from his priests and instructing them to spread destruction where they might. His followers were known as Talassans. Talos appeared as a broad-shouldered, bearded man with one good eye. He wore half-plate armor over black leather and black leather gloves. His empty eye socket was filled with whirling stars and covered with a dark eye patch. In some ancient texts and inscriptions, he has also been named The Destroyer and The Raging One.

Followers of Talos

The clerics and priests of Talos wear black robes with silver or gold lightning bolts throughout. The church of Talos was small by the standards of a greater deity, and his followers were fanatical in their love of destruction. The clergy had no formal hierarchy; obedience was enforced through might. Priests of Talos were fond of extorting sailors and farmers, threatening that Talos would bring destructive storms upon them if they did not placate the angry god. They often pursue wealth and luxury with many indulging in acts of random or spiteful violence, pillage, and banditry. Talossan clerics are also committed evangelists who sought to gain converts through fear or the enticement of raw power.
