0 - No knowledge level assigned yet. Info
Tahordyn was forbidden to split the Feyfolk, and has not created a race of his own. Tahordyn, god of the the weak, god for the feeble, god of the slaves and the failures. Victimizing oneself favours the worshippers of Tahordyn. The philosophy of Tahordyn is the opposite of the basis of Midgard politics and the "might is right" attitude of the Shanata. It teaches that all persons are born equal, and that people should be treated as such. If people are weak, they are born weak and natural selection will try to root them out. Therefore we should help these poor souls and lift their spirit up so they can carry life once again. Tahordyn spends almost all his time protecting the weaker. He directly and instantly saves people from terrible fates. Tahordyn actively hates the strong and elite, but never destroys them; he claims their arrogance will do the work for him. Tahordyn is generally tricky, like lightning he makes sure social climate changes instantly and uncontrollably. When he is angry at the unfairness of life he will sometimes completely reverse social structures making heroes of the poor and cripples of the mighty. His angels, Valkyries, are the winged angels that spot the strong and the mighty in battle that actually protect and help the weaker around them. If they fall in battle protecting those in need, the Valkyries carry their souls of to Tahordyn's Valhalla were they can slay beings of evil at their leisure. His demons, Lightning elementals, are elements of chaos, although not as strong as the primary elements, this element is no less fatal. Lighting storms might spark fires as fast as fire elementals, cause winds equal to air elementals, shake the ground as earth elementals and send waves like water elementals.... or they might not.
Good worshipping Methods
Tahordyn is worshipped trough charity and compassion rituals. When performances are given to raise money for the poor, when jesters at carnivals pickpocket the rich and famous and give to the poor. Tahordyn is also worshipped to avert his wrath whenever a storm seems to be coming.
Evil worshipping Methods
Evil cults centred around Tahordyn don't accept the people who have already have a great life. Instead they recruit the seemly unworthy, for they are the most desperate, and will work the hardest to bring down those who do not share their wealth, some might even go so far to kill any rich person (often forging wills) so that his wealth is distributed among others in society. They will cling to wealthy and successful persons like leeches on skin.
