Fune, God of Vengeance

Fune is the God of Vengeance. He is the second child of Neket.

## Origins and Creations

Towards the end of the First Era, Neket sealed away the Elder Gods of Somara into the Sealed Planes, in order to minimize their influence over the world.

In anticipation of his absence, he created six children to bring order to Somara in his stead; they are Coroc, God of Time; Fune, God of Vengeance; Targus, God of Knowledge; Ultha, God of Language; Chaina, Goddess of Luck; and Mala, Goddess of Peace.

Fune's domain was vengeance and balance. He not only helps the downtrodden seek vengeance against those who have wronged him, but also attempts to maintain a natural balance power across Somara.

## Appearance

Fune's appearance frequently changes to be comforting and attractive to those he appears to. There are two constants in every form he takes, however. The first is that he always wears an eyepatch over his right eye, the second is that he always carries his whip, called *Retribution,* on his person. This whip is said to be able to cause anyone struck by it to instantaneously feel all the pain they have inflicted on others over the course of their life.

If Fune appears to a group, or in a matter not related to vengeance, he often appears as a middle-aged human male with short gray hair. He wears an eyepatch over his right eye, as well as a dark leather coat. He carries *Retribution* and a sword strapped across his back. He speaks in a low, gravelly tone, and his skin is rough and well-worn, like a laborer's.

## Personality

Fune generally comes off as cold and quiet, speaking softly and choosing his words carefully. He is extremely passionate; when committed to a cause, almost nothing can sway him from his course. If wronged, Fune will exact a careful, calculated revenge upon the trespasser.

Fune supports those who have been wronged, often appearing to them and offering them tools to seek their revenge. He is fond of giving gifts to those who seek revenge, often coming in the form of magic, weapons, tools, or information. More often than not, however, Fune's affection comes with a price, usually requiring his servants to prove their desire for revenge in some manner.

Most gods have a memory far superior to that of most mortals, but Fune has perfect recall. He can remember in perfect detail any conversation or event that he was a part of. Perhaps because of this, Fune hates those who renege on deals made with him, often seeking swift retribution against them.

Fune also is fond of taking down those who exhibit hubris, especially those in power. He sees hubris as a trespass against the natural world, and believes that his exaction of vengeance against them restores the balance of the natural world. To this end, he will often employ his own agents to deliver messages as a warning, then often instructs them to seek revenge on behalf of others.

## Worship

Fune does not have any organized religious following in Somara. The majority of his servants are Oath of Vengeance paladins, which he will recruit to his service. Fune will often seek out people who are wronged, and offer them divine power with which to accomplish their revenge. They swear an oath of revenge to him, and often continue to serve him after accomplishing their goal, exacting vengeance on behalf of others at Fune's instruction.

Sometimes, a servant of Fune will instead become a Warlock under the Pact of the Hexblade, as he grants them a powerful weapon to use in their quest.

Clerics of Fune often fall under the Order, Protection, or War Domains. They idealize the concepts of justice and vengeance, and seek to further them wherever they go.
