Thanandar
Thanandar and her brother Vulkan were born directly of the Great Cataclysm and the creation of the Sortplanen. The chaos of which both Thanandar and the material planes were wrought gave them their tempestuous nature.
History
It has been theorized that Thanandar was born of the ichor of Ikthun as it was energized in the Great Cataclysm and shaped into the worlds that came. More powerful in Baladen, Thanandar has given that plane its oft-stormy character.
There have been a few significant clashes between Thanandar and Vulkan as they matured, the first of which led to the complete encasement of Mitvort in magma and the absolute flood of Baladen. In their second tiff, Thanandar quenched Mitvort, taking all the flood of Baladen and pulling it into a raging hurricane which enveloped the realm and gouged the ocean out of the solid stone with Vulkan as her hammer. In the third, Thanandar threw Vulkan to the ground and split the continents of Mitvort, but was thrown back into Baladen by Vulkan's raising the mountains of Mitvort and impaled by Mount Intaire, which Vulkan drew from the stone in Baladen as Thanandar was flung there. The final and fourth row between the twin gods led to an intervention from Ikthun, a separation of the two younger deities that gave Mitvort its polar ice sheet.
Modern Day
Contemporarily, Thanandar is primarily worshipped in Herske, where storms are most frequent on Vequist. Thanandar is considered a goddess both in need of appeasement to lessen the storms that frequently batter Herskan cities, and one worthy of worship to take the spirit of storm into battle.
