Gruumsh, the Relentless Storm

Giant God of Change, Destruction and Stroms

Where thunder booms and the winds of change flow, prayers to the Relentless Storm are shouted into the maelstrom. Reveling in all moments of upheaval, Gruumsh blesses those who prove themselves on the battlefield and those who enact acts of rebellion. He is associated with natural disasters such as fires or earthquakes, but most commonly in the form of tumultuous storms on the horizons that many see as omens of change. He is worshiped by athletes, outlanders and warriors all across Orden, as despite his ferocity he is genuinely caring towards his followers and exalts those whose force of spirit and desire for change call his attention. Gruumsh demands his worshippers follow their desires, take their lives into their own hands, and never stagnate for they should live their lives constantly in motion. The Relentless Storm does not care for much, however when it comes to the ostracized and downtrodden, his squall stops at nothing but the unquestionable destruction of the chains that bind them.

Depiction

Clay representations within outlander communities of his followers show the Relentless Storm as a hulking, bulbous behemoth of an orc. As the epitome of muscle and might, most statues depict Gruumsh in a stance of dominance and momentum, his missing eye prominent in display.

Enemies

The Relentless Storm holds a deep hatred for Corellon, the Archblade who shot out Gruumsh’s right eye during the Calamity, and the keeper of the downtrodden longs for the day he can return the favor twofold. Yet despite this, his greatest disdain falls upon

Commandments of the Relentless Storm
