Stronmaus has very little worshippers outside the Giants. Those that do worship the god of lightning and oceans, seek rather to have him as their guide during sailing or to learn his secrets of runes. The latter is very popular among dwarves. Clerics of Stronmaus try to be as close to the waters as possible, if not be in them or ride a storm.
History
Jotunnheim didn't arrive, they were chosen among the
True Giants after the end of the
First Age, The Titan War. With the Titans no more, the Giants needed new leaders and they were chosen from the best. Stronmaus mastery of lightning and runes allowed him to become the leader. This didn't go well with everybody, making a schism among the giants. Stronmaus, however, didn't care nor participated in the
Godswar as he saw it beneath him to fight other gods.
Iallanis was his wife at the time and it was her advice that he followed, allowing the race of giants to fall almost to obscurity in the
Third Age, Kingdoms. Only when the
Great Quake rumbled, then Stronmaus saw that he became lazy and a recluse. He tried to stop many of the tsunamis and earthquakes himself, guiding ships to their destinations in the unruly oceans. In his head, it was all Iallanis, so he denounced her, only to return to her centuries later as he couldn't stop his love for her. Last time that Stronmaus made a major move was against
Vecna in the
Fourth Age, The Calamity. Now, he stays in Jotunheim, seeking a path for his people as their numbers are falling.
Dogma
Rule the waves, rule the seas and oceans
Strike swift, the runes will show you the way
Respect strength, as it is what makes a good leader
Relationships with other Gods
Stronmaus leads the
Jotunnheim Pantheon with his love-hated wife
Iallanis. He lets his champions,
Surtr and
Thrym fight over his favour, while
Grolantia and
Skoraeus do their own thing. He doesn't care for other pantheon and gods, except for the dragon gods, as he sees them as rivals and natural enemies.
