Appearance


Perun is said to be "the embodiment of the storm itself".
The Storm King most often depicted as a tall and muscular man, with a lush beard and long hair, both made out of dark storm clouds. Either a circlet or a battle helmet with steel wings adorns the head of the King, holding his iconic rune in the centre of this adornment. His eyes glow with white light, and occasional lightnings course over his body. A long cape with dark hide, that on the edges turns into clouds, is strapped over his shoulders with silver link, a long embroidered shirt covers his torso. The Storm King is also portrayed with steel and leather shoulder pads and bracers, as well as his legendary, masterfully crafted steel two-handed sword.

Worship


Most of the followers of the Storm King are members of the military, generals and tacticians, freedom fighters, weapon masters, many nomadic tribes and even some orcs. Perun is the main god of fire genasi.
The Church of the Storm King is widely accepted all across Sarmatan Continent, though as official religion it is recognized only in Rosidor Empire. That doesn't stop many communities, especially military ones, on the South of Sarmarian Republic to have temples dedicated to the Storm King. Dangean Kingdom doesn't have any grounds of worship of Perun, but his worship is not forbidden there, though it's still not highly popular.
The main and biggest temple of Storm King is located in Grozogorsk, in Rosidor Empire, some other prominent places of worship are Port Varuta and Baturma in Sarmarian Republic. The Storm Grove in Sarmaria is considered to be the sacred land of Perun, a place of battle between him and generals of Hells.
