Ventrix

The god of weather and storms. He conjures different weathers and phenomenon. His physical appearance is that of a giant man, grey in skin with eyes like two snowstorms.

Ventrix is the son of Ocea and Steynarr, and the brother of Tristayne. Ocea gave birth to Ventrix on a cold night when a large snowstorm was roaming. Ventrix showed a significant talent for predicting the weather and used this to warn the mortals of impending storms. Once grown, he began to roam the mortal plain, taking a particular liking to the snowy mountains and the Stone giants that lived in the area known as the Fist. He lived happily with them for a while, and they eventually came to think of him as one of their own. However, no matter how hard Ventrix tried, he could not foresee or prevent all disasters. One faithful evening, when Ventrix was away, his newfound "family" was struck by a thunderstorm that caused a rockslide to sweep down into the valley the giants lived in and crushed them all. When Ventrix returned and saw the destruction wrought upon his family he wept and his tears ran down into the cracks of the valley where the bodies of the dead lay. This site is now known as the Tears, and is a sacred place to the Jotnar.

Ventrix was devastated and broke all contact with the outside world for a time, preferring to just roam the mountaintops and grieve. Eventually, he was found by his father Steynarr, who took him back to his forge and crafted him a hammer of solid steel infused with his magic. With this hammer Ventrix was now able to create or break storms and with this newfound power, Ventrix returned to the remains of his "family" and began to build. From the remains of the giants a new race, the Jotnar, were born.
