Torm

The True, the True God, the Brat, the Foolish, the Loyal Fury

Once a mortal hero, Torm is one of three deities who make up the Triad, a trio made up of Tyr, Torm, and Ilmater. Though lesser in power than these greater deities, Torm serves an important role for warriors who seek a middle ground between zeal and compassion. Followers of The Loyal Fury believe the healing of good things is as essential as the destruction of evil.
Followers of Torm celebrate two calendar days as holy. The Divine Death on the 13th of Eleasis marks the day Torm died (temporarily) destroying the evil god Bane (also temporarily). Torm absorbed the souls of thousands of faithful to accomplish this task, and all Tormish above the age of fourteen in the region gave their lives to empower the Loyal Fury. Those ages fourteen and below who survived were known as the Martyr’s Progeny. Now over a century later, the Divine Death is a feast honoring those fallen in service to Torm or the defense of others.
On the 15th of Marpenoth Tormish celebrate the True Resurrection. This marks the date when Torm was restored to life even greater than before. This is the one date when Tormish can set rigid laws and directives aside. Many take the opportunity to speak openly, enjoy forbidden pleasures, or in rare cases seek vengeance where they would otherwise be bound by law. To be clear, however, these actions are never acts of wanton evil, but are usually acts against evil that would normally be prevented by the laws a Tormtar has sworn to obey.
As with many faiths, Shieldmeet is a day for pledges and oaths to be renewed. Among the Tormish, many prefer to marry or have pledges of service to end on Shieldmeet.
If a city doesn’t have a standalone structure to Torm, those with a temple or shrine to Tyr (and less frequently Ilmater) have an alcove or small holy symbol where the Tormtar are welcome to pray to their own god.
