Vorlen
Vorlen the Wanderer, God of Freedom (a.k.a. Stormlord)
One of the eight divines of Magvel, Vorlen is fabled to have created a wondrous flying ship to carry the gods between their numerous battles in the strife ages.
The storm cares for no man. The storm does not care for justice or peace. The storm is a challenge to be faced, an opponent to be bested, and sometimes, an ally to be wooed.
Accept the Winds of Fate
All life is chaos, not even the gods can change that. As mortals, we must accept that sometimes we will try and fail, and the path we take may still be worth traveling.
Lightning Does Not Strike Twice
Seize opportunities when they arrive. Destiny comes to those bold enough to take it for themselves. Braving the storm is always a risk, but some risks are worth taking.

"Blue hills, along the horizon hugging
Like a mountain range in mist
Lightning flashing, thunder crashing
Part of God's almighty fist.
Clouds descending, bowing deeper
Within their centre, shadows form.
And, as if this world's a sleeper
Lightning flashing, thunder crashing
Part of God's almighty fist.
Clouds descending, bowing deeper
Within their centre, shadows form.
And, as if this world's a sleeper
It lays waiting for the storm."
