Torus Renatus

Eternal praises to the Eternal Lord of Mankind! The Dread Lord Tor, father of Mankind is the God of conflict eternal, and warriors from all across the land invoke his dread name before battle. For Millenia, mankind has worshiped Tor, dating back before written record. It was not until the Prophets of Toren codified the religion that his Church was born, long after Tor's chosen land of Toren sank in the Great Doom. The First Official Church as a result did not come into being until much later in Everguard, which was eventually destroyed, along with the Church, at the hands of Sanguis Astroism, foe of all free men. With Tor's chosen land destroyed, and now his mortal church in ruins, the Priests of Sanguis Astroism wrought powerful magicks with the blood of Kings, slaying the Dread Lord. Many years passed, and Tor slept beneath the seas, in the ruins of his beloved Toren Stronghold, waiting for the call of the faithful.

In the beginnings of the death of the Church of Sanguis Astroism, the dreams of Dead Tor began to travel to mortal minds, those attuned to the Dread Lord began hearing his voice, and seeing visions. The First of those effected were Karibash ka Haab and Jonsu Himoura. Through long months spent communing, and several errors along the way, Karibash and Jonsu were able to discern the fragments of Tor's dead dreams, and Tor's continued existence was thus revealed to the pair. Thus began the movement to restore the Dread Lord's Church upon this mortal coil.

The Worshipers of Tor at present refer to the holy text The Dictum of the Slain.

The Creed of the Dread Lord

Passions cannot be shackled by Laws, Nor Ruled by Logic, the Choice is Freedom or Death!

Blood begets Blood, And as the World was Born So too Shall it End

For a Wounded Man shall say to his assailant, 'If I Live, I will kill you.' 'If I Die, you are forgiven.'

We Believe in Tor the Eternal, Dread Lord, Dead Lord! We Believe that he shall rise anew.

For that which is not dead, that which may eternal lie, for with strange aeons, even death may die.
