### Identifiers

Tattoos depicting the symbol of Vyodros upon the palms of their hands

The Sect of Vyodros is a religious organisation dedicated to the reverence of the eponymous Lesser Deity.

They are predominately based out of a Guildhall in the city of Eskarya.

## Appearance

All members of the Sect celebrate their faith in differing manners, save a few unifying features.

Most notable amongst these comes following a meditative period known as "The Eye of the Tempest". After such time, it is customary for believers to pledge their faith by marking their hands with tattoos of black ink depicting Vyodros' holy symbol. Upon their dominant hand they tattoo the palm, upon their non-dominant the dorsum of the hand is marked.

## History

Vyodros is not a native to the land of Eskarya, instead once residing in the skies and heavens above northern Faerûn.

Life eternal and thousands of worshippers was what Vyodros enjoyed since man first heard his thunderous roar in the night as he fought with his rival in the skies over Sossal. The Sossrim people had long made offerings and sacrifices to bargain for him, beseeching him to send his storms elsewhere in times when they sought the sun, and begging for his approach when they had need for fresh rains and snows, as well as light in the dark to guide their way.

The ongoing enmity with his half-brother Uhemis, the God of the Winds, would deal great turmoil for the people of Sossrim and their city of Naupau and so their shamans made a pact with Nixtar, the God of Trickery to get their revenge. Transforming into a giant snowy owl (a creature sacred to the Sossrim people), Nixtar baited Vyodros into believing the beast was a familiar in service of his half-brother Uhemis. Calling down a violent tempest to smite the beast, the shamans of the Sossrim preached Vyodros to be a false god, an outsider in their pantheon. The shrine within Naupau to his name was torn down and ground to dust beneath hammer and hoof, and the offerings and sacrifices disappeared in an instant.

Without followers, Vyodros felt his powers weaken, his resolve wain, and soon the great abyss would rush to his embrace. He would awake, uncertain of time passed, or distance travelled. All he knew was that his body now bled, as it did from his brow, and that each stretch and step ached. He was human - an occurrence he was very keen to rectify.

Certain that worship is the way to regain his status as a deity, Vyodros sought out a new land in which he might find new souls who deem him worthy of praise through actions of good and glory, and in doing so has discovered Eskarya. There, far from the influence of the magics and trickery of Nixtar, he has started to regain his strength and power, and in doing so has garnered the eye of a few others that venture and reside within the brave new world.
