Thunder (CPrH)

__TOC__
The thunder-god is very similar to the lightning-god; in campaigns where they both exist, they will probably be related, even brothers. He represents the fearsomeness of nature, natural forces at their most frightening, and so is a god of terror and fear as well. Like the lightning-god, he is also a god of storms.
Also as with the lightning-god, the thunder-god is not very concerned with the affairs of mortals; he lets them worship him and grants power to his priests, but otherwise doesn't interfere much in mortal affairs. His priests promote worship of his power and fearsomeness, especially as traits which the followers wish to use against their enemies.
The thunder-god is male.
The priests of this god are on good terms with the priests of Elemental Forces, Lightning (especially), Nature, Race (Dwarven), Sky/Weather, and Strength.
