Lesser God, CG -- Individuality, Self-protection, Liberty, Retribution

Trithereon, "The Summoner," is the deity of individuality
and the right of self-protection. His symbol,
the rune of pursuit, indicates many things, incl.
the need to strive for liberty and to seek to bring to an
end those who are bent on abridging life or freedom.

When upon the Prime Material Plane, Trithereon
appears as a tall, well-built young man with red-gold
hair and gray eyes. He is typically clad in pale blue or
violet garb, with a shirt of golden chainmail often visible.
He carries a broad-bladed spear, a broadsword,
and a scepter in his broad girdle of gold-studded leather.

The spear is called Krelestro ("the Harbinger of
Doom"). It returns to Trithereon's hand swiftly after
being thrown. His sword is called "Freedom's Tongue."
It can cause fear in all opponents of its
wielder. The scepter is the Baton of Retribution. It
can locate any enemy, anywhere, unless some
extremely powerful magickal protection against
location exists. The scepter also permits its wielder to
summon certain creatures, as detailed later. Merely
possessing the Baton of Retribution allows the possessor
to travel to any place on any plane of existance not
protected by some magick to prevent such entrance.

When held and wielded, the baton will, upon desire,
cause the surrounding AREA to become a stange plane,
unfamiliar to those opposing the wielder of the device.
Thus it could be a barren desert of purple rock and
green skies, a swamp of milk-colored water with
red plants, a featureless plain of grey and black whose
heavens are black and opaque. At each such place,
Trithereon must be answered one question truthfully,
or else the creature in question will be consigned to
the strange world for 100 years, barring some means of
escape.

As "The Summoner," Trithereon is able to call up
three creatures, one at a time, to pursue and combat
those guilty of enslavement, abridgement of liberty,
and similar crimes. The three creatures are:

    Nemoud the Hound
    Harrus the Falcon
    Ca'rolk the Sea Lizard

The summoned creature will follow orders to the best
of its ability.

Trithereon also can summon (through gates) any type
of deva. He will do so only to combat great evil, of
course.

Priests of Trithereon wear dark blue or purple robes,
silver or gold trimmed. During special ceremonies
they wear cassocks of golden red, emblazoned with
the rune of pursuit. Curates and superiors are allowed
the use of spears. Patriarchs and superiors can employ
broadswords.

The followers of this deity are common in large towns
and cities and in certain states of the Flanaess, notably
the Yeomanry and the Shield Lands. Services
incl. ceremonial flames, bells, and iron vessels and
symbols of various types.

Trithereon's spear, the Harbinger of
Doom, is a spear +7. It can be hurled 9"
and will return in the same round. The
sword, "Freedom's Tongue," is a
broadsword +6 which causes fear (cf. fear spell)
in a 30-radius to all opponents
of its wielder unless a save vs.
Spell is successful.

The three cretaures which can be
summoned by Trithereon are: 

Nemoud the Hound: AC 0; move 21";
HD 8; hp 64; #AT 1; D 4-16; SA fastens
bite until destroyed; SD struck only by
magickal weapons; MR 30%; I 5; S M.
Nemoud is an iron-jawed creature which
tracks prey as if it were a 20th level
ranger. When it attacks successfully the
hound locks its jaws and automatically
causes 16 points of damage to its
opponent each round thereafter. This
creature is 80% likely to be undetected. It
is never surprised.

Harrus the Falcon: AC 2; move 3"/30";
HD 9; hp 72; #AT 2 or 1; D 5-8/5-8 or 3-12;
SD struck only by magical weapons;
MR 40%; I 6; S L. Harrus is a huge bird-like
creature with vision greater than that
of an eagle. It can plummet at twice flying
speed, and such attacks add +4 to its
"to hit" probability and talon damage.
After its initial talon attack, the creature
uses its beak (one attack causing 3-4 points
damage). <3-12?>

Ca'rolk the Sea Lizard: AC -1; move 3"//27";
HD 10; hp 80; #AT 1 or 1;
D 3-30 or 2-16; SA overturns small craft;
SD struck only by magickal weapons;
MR 20%; I 4; S L. Ca'rolk is a crocodilian
reptile some 40' long. Its normal
attack is by tail smash, although biting is
quite dangerous and often done. The
creature has a 25% chance to upset vessels
up to its own length, a 50% chance to
upset 30-foot vessels, a 75% chance to
upset 20-foot vessels, and upsets 10-foot or
smaller vessels 100% of the time.

Each creature can be summoned by
Trithereon in one round, once per day. If
slain in the course, it will TAKE one week
and reform on its own plane and so cannot
be summoned during that period.

Trithereon can gate in one of teach type of
deva, one per round. The summoning
also requires one round. It can be
performed once per day.

Priests of of Trithereon have tracking ability
as if they were a ranger one level
below their cleric level, to a max. of
8th level.
