Stronmaus

Stronmaus is the patron of storm giants and non-evil cloud giants, but he is worshiped as a sky and weather deity by giants of all races. To hill giants he is a mighty fisherman, to frost giants he is a bold sailor and explorer, and to the cloud giants he is a thundering god of storms.   Stronmaus's clergy is highly respected amongst most of Jotunbrud society, especially those who live under open skies or near water. In particular, they play an especially important part of the societies of good cloud, fog, and storm giants, and to a lesser extent the firbolg and voadkyn. Priests of the Smiling God do not generally move into positions of political leadership, preferring to guide their people through advice and education; this is particularly true in storm giant bands, where the priests often live apart from their people in a particularly austere lifestyle. While not often worshipped outright amongst giants of an evil bent, he is sometimes called upon when good weather is needed for travel or rain is needed for agriculture.   Stronmaus's cloud giant clerics are skilled in the arts and music. They are proud and organized, and believe in ridding the skies of evil creatures. They are visionaries, mystics, and meditators who treat each other as equals.   In Annam's absence, it fell upon Stronmaus as the eldest to rule over the Ordning. He approaches his role humbly, asking for council from his other siblings and never making rash judgements, while this has preserved the Ordning, it has not been quick to address the threats posed by the Usurper and the cataclysm.
