Samis - God of Storm and Skies

During a cosmic storm where two galaxies collided, which contained enormous energy, lighting, wind and celestial power, Samis appeared. Entering a universe with a storm, it almost heralded in his arrival in the cosmos. His siblings, Niphena, Goddess of Magic and Bamir, God of Strength felt the ripples of his arrival from great distances away.
The legend goes that a man with blue eyes filled with lightning appeared, and from the cosmic clouds surrounding the storm which he arrived in he created a mount, a massive dragon which he claimed as steed and rode the skies. The two spent their early days claiming the skies and causing cosmic storms where ever they rode, battling against the wild spirits of air and asserting their dominance in the sky. As the world was created, with peaks and skies as well, Samis claimed the skies instantly and rode over the new world. His storms causing great downpours and filling the oceans up with water. His lightning striking down craters in the ground and making places for the water to pour down, filling up large lakes.
The first people of the world revered Samis with both awe and fear, he brought them the very important water to give them life but also caused death and destruction with the storms he summoned. They called him The Fury in the early days, and some claimed that calling him his real name would bring vengance down upon you. But the more time grew and the more people that walked the world, they started calling Samis "Lord of the Sky" and even "The Dragon".
The mount of Samis was later named Vorelth - God of Dragons, which was named much later according to history. Samis and Vorelth were both indirectly involved in the creation of the dragon and draconic races of the world. During a mighty battle against Niphena, Samis had summoned a storm like never before. During the battle, a scale from Vorelth was knocked off and fell to the ground, which was later struck by lightning and fused, causing the creation of the dragon and draconic races.
These races views Vorelth as their god and worships him as their main diety, and Samis as both a villian and heroic diety.
