T'lor exacts vengeance on those he feels is responsible for his existence. His followers have a fanatical devotion to his word. Because he preaches genocide, his followers are most often evil.
T'lor was created shortly before the Great Cataclysm. His creation
was the first real glimpse sages had into the nature of the divine. The
church of T'lor is newly returned to Traykon. After the formation of
the Veil, the church died out as most citizens shunned the church due to
its power. Over the centuries, the priests died out and T'lor's last
cleric died. Lord Minix of Yarr discovered that an old temple of
T'lor lay within his borders. One of his advisors started doing
research in the temple and began to believe the teachings of T'lor.
Thus, the church was resurrected at roughly the same time that arcane
magic returned to Traykon. The church is now headquartered in the
capital city of Yarr.
The priests of T'lor tend to be Evil. T'lor
himself is Chaotic Neutral due to the madness that permeates his existence.
He has no Good priests. T'lor's neutral priests rebuke and command
undead. All T'lor's priests spontaneously convert their spells into
inflict spells.
History/Relationships: The T'loric Priests were known for their cruelty. The first follower of T'lor was Erin the Bold. Erin was a paladin of Pelor until he came upon the remains of T'lor's mortal form. He touched the remains and T'lor infected his body and mind. Under T'lor's influence, Erin started the priesthood and forged them into a subversive force in the world. After Erin's death, the priesthood became more militant. T'lor began actively working toward his goals. When Saracman destroyed the
southland, T'lor felt the pull of power and was inspired. He began experimenting and his priests started to gather their power. On a secret mountain location, T'lor appeared to his priests in his true form and worked to institute the Veil. In one grand action, T'lor struck a crippling blow against the mages who wronged him and propelled his priests into a position of great power and standing in the world.
Unknown to the world, T'lor used the Veil to power his ascent into oblivion. He slept in a pocket dimension oblivious to the world and his priests slowly lost power and began to fade from the world. His highest priests knew the truth and worked to keep it from the populace. Centuries after the the ascent, the Veil weakened and has begun to fragment. T'lor
felt for the first time in centuries and his anger was reawakened.
He found a believer and infused him with his wrath. Now his
priesthood is back to full power. He seeks to reestablish his
slumber and make the Veil permanent. Fear and exhilaration infuses those who know the truth. T'lor
hates all other gods. His madness is such that he becomes paranoid
and strikes out at even his allies. Aragon, Jharlamak, Pelor,
Vecna, Vusha, and Yggdrasil
actively oppose T'lor and his priests. The priesthood has come to
power in Yarr and due to that, they have a shaky alliance with Tyr's
priests.
Silvanus, Gaea, and Wee Jas dislike T'lor but as yet have done nothing to
actively oppose him. Dogma: T'lor
teaches that pain and anger give power. His priests exact Vengeance
in his name. All those who cause pain must die.
Life is pain, death is the reward for one's suffering. Many of his
priests take levels in Berserker to
allow them to better focus their rage. Avatar:
T'lor is one of the few deities that retains the power to send his Avatar
to Traykon.
