Kord, the Stormlord

Where thunder cracks and conflict rises, prayers to the Stormlord are shouted into the maelstrom. The Stormlord’s followers revel in all tests of strength, and his blessing finds those who prove themselves on the battlefield. He is worshiped by athletes and warriors across Exandria, and his will exalts those whose force of spirit and penchant for victory call his attention. He brings tumultuous storms over land and sea, and those who wish for clearer skies offer their praises and prayers in hopes of appeasing his will.
Within his temples and carvings, the Stormlord is shown as a paragon warrior, often nude and physically the epitome of muscle and strength. Often with beard and short, curled hair, most depictions have the Stormlord in mid-wrestle with a terrible beast, and always in a stance of dominance.
The Stormlord’s holy day is the Day of Challenging, and is celebrated on the seventh day of the second month. The Day of Challenging is one of the most raucous holidays in Emon, and thousands of spectators attend the annual Godsbrawl held in the Temple of the Stormlord to root for their favored deity’s champion, particularly the chosen of the Stormlord and the Platinum Dragon.
