Overview

God of storms and weather, depicted as a tall figure holding a lightning bolt, with a dark cloud behind him. Legends show him as outspoken, sometimes argumentative. Zotra is a favorite, for obvious reasons, of sailors and farmers needing rain. He is popular in the southern lands, where people invoke Zotra to protect their coasts by sinking enemy ships with his storms.

Depiction

The Lord of Storms is depicted as a tall figure holding a lightning bolt, with a dark cloud behind him. Legends show him as outspoken, sometimes argumentative. He is often invoked by sailors needing wind and farmers needing rain -- or by anyone hoping to avoid wind, storms, or floods.

Theology and Practice

Zotran clergy often take vows of poverty or charity, believing that Zotra's rains will wash away needs. Vows of chastity are rare.
