Óvaedyr

Óvaedyr is a intermediate deity in the Elysian pantheon, known as the Great Tempest and said to be seen in the blink of an eye when lightning strikes.

A deity that favours great warriors who act with courage and bravery in the search of glory, fame and victory. It is said that worshippers of Óvaedyr will not find peace if the hilt of a weapon does not rest in their grasp upon their final breath.

The finest warriors of Óvaedyr believe in courage before retreat, death before surrender and glory before fear. Soldiers of the Great Tempest often wield the powers of their deity into battle, with some even being able to shape the weather itself, seeking a stormy day on which to do battle.

It is said that with the rising worship of Vyodros by the Sect of Vyodros, the powers of Óvaedyr faltered over time, displacing him as a Greater Deity to an Intermediate Deity.
