Overview:
Nimbos is known through the realm of Edus as the god of destruction, wanton rage and ceaseless storms. His temper is shown within the clouds that gather, or the earth that rumbles, or the boil within someone’s blood. Nimbos hates his father, Silvein. Many believe this relationship is the source of his rage and tantrums. Before Nimbos took the portfolio of Storms and Destruction, Silvein forbade Nimbos from fighting the other gods who held those portfolios. Rebellion deep within the Godling’s blood pushed the son into the fight, and Nimbos slew the other gods, taking his own place in the upper pantheon. His father, Silvein, knew his son was not ready for the power or the responsibility of the Upper Pantheon and cut off most of the natural fury of Edus from his son. This is the true reason for Nimbos’ inner rage.
Nimbos will often come to Edus as an avatar, often forming as a large storm cloud, then manifesting into a 10' tall berserker wearing furs and wielding twin battleaxes. His face is usually blurred, and featureless, except for two burning red eyes. His twin battle axes throw lightning as a 20th level magic user, and when they hit sparks explode from the contact point, doing another 4d6 damage.
Nimbos rules from his Keep, called Stormthrone, on a demiplane created from pure storm clouds. Lightning and stinging rain surrounds his keep and quasi-elementals of lightning, steam and smoke do the Anger God's bidding.

WORSHIPERS:
Followers of Nimbos are akin to their god and his personality. Most are quick to anger, and short on patience, as is Nimbos. Many barbarians follow Nimbos mainly for his freedom to rage. His priests or shamans called, “Tempests” favor clubs, maces and things that explode things, rather than cutting them. To call upon Nimbos during a rage or battle is a great blessing, but to have others claim you are within the “grip of Nimbos” is even greater. Nimbos loves chaos and wanton destruction over loyal prayers and simple babbling to the clouds.
