Tor
Attention, Scribe of the Lexicanum!
This article needs some improvement on its citations. |
Tor is the god of Thunder and Lightning and a warrior god. He is mainly worshipped in Kislev. He is shown as a muscled, square-jawed warrior with a massive axe which has a haft of Oak and uses it to cleave the sky to create thunderbolts. He is the most active of the Kislevite gods and his name is often used as a curse on others.
Symbols
Usually a thunderbolt or an axe with a thunderbolt for a haft. Silver is a favoured metal of Tor and usual for a famed warrior to have threads of silver woven into his moustache or beard as a sign of thanks.
Temples
Temples to Tor are built on the tops of hills and there are many in the Worlds Edge Mountains near to the Peak Pass and High Pass. They are imposing structures of large stone blocks with heavy roofs of wooden logs.
Friends and Enemies
They have an indifferent approach towards other gods although they have no particular allies among other gods. They do tend to get on with the followers of Ulric however.
Holy Days
Tor doesn't have any formal holy days, however during mighty storms, people gather outside to honour Tor. They also praise him before and after a battle.
Strictures
There is only one stricture, and a quite sensible one: never stand under a tree during a thunderstorm.
