Torm

Torm, or The Loyal Fury, is a lawful good lesser deity whose portfolio consists of duty, loyalty, obedience, and paladins. His symbol is a gauntlet, much like the symbol of Helm and also that of Bane, though specifically Torm's symbol is a right-hand gauntlet held upright with palm forward. Torm is usually depicted as a knight riding a great golden wyrm.

Worshippers
Torm's worship greatly increased after his destruction of the god Bane, with the folk of Faerûn immensely grateful to the deity and his clergy.

Relationships
Torm has a friendship with Helm, though the two deities' priesthoods are cold to one another. Torm has many enemies amongst the foul deities, but the return of his arch nemesis Bane has forced Torm to concentrate his efforts again.

The Triad
Torm is one of the three deities of similar interests known as the Triad, along with the more powerful Ilmater and Tyr, whom he serves.

History
Prior to the Time of Troubles Torm was a relatively obscure minor demipower who served Tyr. Torm gained considerable attention and praise during the Godswar when his faithful helped keep one of the missing Tablets of Fate safe, and his own avatar battled and completely destroyed the avatar of Bane outside Tantras, seemingly killing the god who has already been weakened by Mystra and her servant Elminster. Torm died in the conflict too, but because of his loyalty to his portfolio was resurrected by the overdeity Ao at the end of the Time of Troubles, with his power greatly increased.

Dogma
"Salvation may be found through service. Every failure of duty diminishes Torm and every success adds to his luster. Strive to maintain law and order. 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 traitors. Question unjust laws by suggesting improvement or alternatives, not additional laws. Your fourfold duties are to faith, family, masters, and all good beings of Faerûn."
