The Order worshiped a form of Torm they referred to as the " Threefold God", which they believed to be a combination of Torm and the dead gods Tyr and Helm. Eye of Justice: This order, based in Westgate, was considered heretical by many Tormites.They in particular performed the Penance of Duty. From this place, the pontiff extended Torm's reach and worship by sponsoring knightly orders across the continent, including the Order of the Golden Lion.

To fulfill the Debt of Persecution, they had to aid the faithful of good gods whom they'd persecuted, such as by guarding their temples or helping them become re-established. To atone for their failings and sins during the Time of Troubles, the Tormtar had to undertake various obligations and responsibilities called the Penance of Duty. In the post-Spellplague world, which was more dangerous and darker than ever, Torm's followers shone as beacons of hope and courage.

Īfter the death of Tyr, Torm became the new leader of the Triad when he took the seat of the master of Celestia. Torm tempered Tyr's zeal for justice with his gifts of mercy and humility. ![]() It was often said by common folk that Torm was the weakest of the three in his subservient role, but the role he played was of true importance: he acted as the nexus that held the three together. Torm was one of the three deities of similar interests known as the Triad, along with Ilmater and Tyr. He held especial enmity for Cyric, as he saw how the dark god had greatly damaged Tyr. Torm had many enemies amongst the foul deities, chief among them Bane and Shar. Both gods had battled side-by-side against evil gods and devils on many occasions. Torm was also a comrade of the dragon god Bahamut, who was also a servant deity to him, much like a knight. Torm was also good friends with Lathander and Amaunator, the latter even earning great respect from the Loyal Fury.

Torm's apparent demeanor seemed slightly different based on his current persona. No matter his form, he seemed stern in voice and manner, with dauntless courage set in his square jaw and righteous light flashing from his striking, deep blue eyes. Sometimes his form was that of a blond, handsome young man, while at others he was an aging warrior with grey-white hair, though he often shapeshifted into a lion-headed man when entering combat. Torm could appear as a 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall man in ancient, helmless plate mail stained dusky purple.
