Holy order of Torm

[DEV Jlf2n]

Paladins, clerics, and others of the faith.

Sen´s edit:

Torm

The True, the True God, the Brave, the Loyal Fury

Status: Demi-power

Portfolio: Duty, loyalty, obedience, paladins

Symbol: Right-hand gauntlet held upright with palm forward

Alignment: Lawful Good

Superior: Tyr

Allies: Tyr, Ilmater, Lathander, Helm (although the religious disputes between Torm and Helm often lead to dissensions between their followers) , other lawful-good-aligned deities

Foes: Bane, Bhaal, Mask, any other evil-aligned deity

Worshipers: Paladins, heroes, good fighters and warriors, guardians, knights, loyal courtiers

Domains: Good, Healing, Law, Protection, Strength

Favored Weapon: "Duty's Bond" (Greatsword)

Cleric Alignments: LG, LN, NG

Dogma:

Salvation may only be found through service.

(This applies to the service to Torm, his superior Tyr and also mortal rulers and other authorities. This unquestioned loyality towards kings and nobles makes Tormites to demanded knights, but they are by no means serving blindly, and they will strive to stop any unjust or evil rulership.)

Maintaining law and order is essential for followers of the True God.

Every failure of duty diminishes Torm and every success adds to his luster.

Obey your masters with alert judgment and anticipation. Stand every alert against corruption.

Strike quickly and forcefully against rot in the hearts of mortals. Bring painful, quick death to betrayers.

Question unjust laws by suggesting improvement or alternatives, not additional laws.


Your fourfold duties are to faith, family, masters, and all good beings of Faerun.

I see quite a few of you Tormites out there. I will try to get you a temple added soon.

[Zealote]

Sir Valek Sunborn, servant of Tyr and Knight of Judgment requests an audience with a ranked priest to know more about Raethen Shadowsoul. Sir Valek wants to know if Raethen Shadowsoul is a true servant of Torm, and if he has his favor, as he claims. He suspects that he is using the name of Torm likely. He hopes that the priest can help to make his suspiciousness unfounded.

[DM mdwagner]

This is a request from Durntog Kaz-Dangt to be admitted as an initiate to The Holy Order.

High Priest of Torm Celwig Olwen announces:

Seraphim Aira-S'efarro is now an Unproven of Torm.

A missive to High Priest of Torm Celwig Olwen:

I, Jonas Rokranon, although not an offical member of the Church of Torm yet, would like to make a report on some events.

(OOC please see my letter to the Duke regarding Lizardmen)

When I heard that a group had attacked the lizardmen despite the uneasy truce my companions and I obtained, I rushed back to the Cloakwood to attempt to persuade them to leave. I am ashamed to report that I was unsuccessful in stopping the carnage that ensued. I myself sustained grievous injuries by the druids when they came to aid the lizardmen, even though I did not raise my sword against anyone present. It seems the evil this time was caused by our own people of the Gate, and am ashamed to report that I have failed Torm in this instance.

It is my sincere hope that I still be allowed to join the Church. I will NOT fail again.

Sincerely, Jonas Rokranon

[torack]

I, Thostar D'Spiril, being a follower of Torm since I was a child in Cromyr, new to Baldurs gate, request entry into "The Holy order of Torm".

I look foward to serving Torm in Baldur's Gate, should you choose to accept me.

[rokranon]

Jonas is currently going through Atonement in order to serve The True again. He has been assured that there will be no problems with the church of Ilmater as both are part of the Triad.
