Church of Hoar

The Church of Hoar was a collection of clerics, crusaders, and specialty priests called doombringers devoted to Hoar, the Lord of Three Thunders.

Clergy
Hoar's church was divided into roughly equal numbers of clerics, crusaders, and doombringers. There were many split factions within the church that squabbled over ancient disagreements. Titles among Hoar's faithful in ascending order included Eye of Irony, Hand of Doom, Fist of Vengeance, Claw of Revenge, Fateful Eye of Irony, Fateful Hand of Doom, Fateful Fist of Vengeance, and Fateful Claw of Revenge. The senior priests within the church were known as Lords of Thunderous Vengeance.

Most of Hoar's faithful spent their time wandering the Heartlands aiding those who suffered grave injustices, and praying for those in need of vengeance. Tyrists and town watches often branded Hoar's clerics as vigilantes.

Equipment
The ceremonial attire of the priests of Hoar consisted of a black tunic over a long gray robe, with gloves of soft black leather. When on an official "hunt", they donned masks of surreal design that concealed their faces. Around their waists they wore dark-red sashes with silver borders; priests often kept trophies or tokens of past victories attached to this. They also wore an item of jewelry that displayed the holy symbol of Hoar and served as one for a cleric's powers. Finally, they wielded curved daggers. The priests wore these vestments whenever they could, unless they needed to hide their identity or occupation while pursuing a wrong-doer.

Holy Days and Rituals
Few major official holidays and celebrations existed within the church. Instead, individual priests were required to celebrate their own personal acts of vengeance.

The Penultimate Thunder, a festival recognizing Hoar's eventual triumph over Ramman, was celebrated on Eleint 11, and the Impending Doom, a ceremony honoring future justice, was celebrated on Marpenoth 11.

Base of Operations
There were few permanent structures dedicated to Hoar. Two prominent temples of Hoar were the Amphitheater of the First Thunder in Mourktar and the Hidden Hand of Fate in the Arch Wood.

Orders
Several groups devoted to Hoar existed including the Hunters of Vengeance and Fellowship of Poetic Justices.
