Kord
The Sword of Storms
Kord, The Brawler, a deity of strength and storms, appears as as hugely muscular man. with long red hair and a beard, wearing white dragonhide gauntlets, blue boots, and a fighting girdle of red leather. A hedonistic being, he is married to the goddess Avandra and known for tackling physical challenges of all sorts just for the fun of it. He fights with his intelligent dragon-slaying greatsword Kelmar, and when wounded he often enters an intense blood rage. His daughter Vetra takes after him in most respects while Evangeline has found a balance between the two gods and Felix emulates Avandra.

Tenets of Faith
Kord loves physical challenges and contests, and he promotes nonlethal sports as a method of resolving disputes among his followers. His teachings say that the strong and the fit should lead the weaker, and that bravery is the greatest quality anyone can have, ruler and citizen alike. Everyone should scorn cowardice, says Kord.
Kord's clerics are expected to be leaders. They value strength but not domination. they train people to become stronger, organize athletic tournaments, and participate in challenging physical activities. Doubting their fitness is a grave insult, and they go to great lengths to prove their physical abilities (although they realize the difference between difficult and suicidal challenges). They favor attire in red and white.
Kord's temples tend to be spacious and airy, they always include at least one gymnasium and usually extensive baths. They invariably have adjoining fields for athletic competitions.
