Name:

SOMNI-TUL, Firelord.

Sphere:

Fire.

Predominant Areas:

Somni-Tul is worshipped in scattered parts of Jerranq, although he is primarily revered by the Morakki that dwell near the deserts of the East. Nevertheless, when the Morakki invaded Western Jerranq, they brought the worship of this god with them.

Races:

Humans.

Description:

This deity is depicted as a Morakki male bathed in flame and with hair, beard, and eyebrows of fire.

Background:

It is speculated that the elemental gods are the split aspect of a single, early deity. It is alternately claimed that they were torn asunder by some cosmic force or they voluntarily separated from their primal conjunction. Savants refer to this primal entity as Tul.

Alignment:

Any non-Lawful.

Favoured Weapon:

Spear.

Priestly Duties:

Priests are expected to tend to their temple's sacred flame. They have a somewhat undeserved reputation as pyromaniacs and arsonists. Priests are expected to extol fire as a cleansing force for the world's ills.

Other Limitations:

Priests may never knowingly quench a fire, but must allow it to burn out naturally. They may or may not allow others to put out a fire, as they see fit.

Domains:

Fire, Mysticism, Summoning, Fate, Balance.

Holy Symbol(s):

A torch or small fire.
