The form of the lion.*** The dogma of the Lord of Battles is primarily concerned with honorable combat, forbidding cowardice and encouraging the use of force to settle disputes. To Zuya, also known as the Foehammer, war is a force of nature to be respected, for it had the power to remake civilizations. Zuya is a being of chaos, distributing his favor randomly. Such is the nature of war that he might side with one army one day and turn against them the next. He is not heartless, but exuberant, said to live only for excess, whether it be love for food, drink, hunting, or his greatest passion, battle. Zuya is also not treacherous; he is honorable in battle. The chaotic god simply answers to his own warrior code, carving out his own path and letting none stand in his way. > [!dm] > ### Institutions > Tovangar has a history of violence, and thus from sheer number of worshipers, Zuya was one of the mightiest deities in the Realm. Nearly everyone who draws a sword or nocks an arrow has fought alongside a cleric of the Foehammer, and just as many have fought against one. Temples to Zuya look more like military fortresses than the archetypal temple. They feature barracks, mess halls, armories, and training grounds. Due to its tendency to have followers on both sides of any engagement, the church of Zuya had no central authority that might support one side or the other exclusively. Within a given temple or order, however, there was a strict hierarchy and chain of command. All clergy are known as "Hammers." > > ### Notes > [Additional DM-only information]
