Gorm Gulthyn

Fire Eyes, the Golden Guardian, The Sentinel, Lord of the Bronze Mask, the Eternally Vigilant

Gormian dogma teaches that one must never waver in their duty to defend and keep safe, the young, the elderly, the infirm, and all of the children of the Morndinsamman. Devotees of Gorm Gulthyn, often called “The Vigilant”, take inspiration from his ever-watchful eyes burning behind a stern bronze mask, as guidance to never blink in their guardianship.
The Vigilant often serve in their communities by joining militias, helping to maintain fortifications, or providing food, medicine, and aid to their local guard. Gorm’s followers who find themselves unable to serve in defense of their homelands will often hold vigils on battlements, praying for blessings upon their protectors, and keeping watch for threats.
Clerics of Gorm Gulthyn are known as Barakor, meaning ‘those who shield’. A novice Barakor will receive a sacred charge assigned to them by their church, which may vary from protecting the elderly to being the bodyguard of a high-ranking clan member. Highly ranked Barakor have more options to decide from regarding who they will protect, and will often become the private guard of clan leaders.
Temples of Fire Eyes are often rather simple, spartan structures, made of carved stone, with little additional décor. Many temples house armories and may also contain defensive equipment for nearby towns to fortify themselves against attack. The one feature that all Temples of Fire Eyes have in common is a central altar containing the remains of Barakor who’ve fallen in Gorm’s service, or "paid Gorm’s greatest price", regardless of the rank or status of the charge they died protecting.
