Tempus (or Tempos) is the chaotic neutral god of war.
Name[]
He is know as Tempus to most humans of Faerûn, but as Tempos to the barbarian tribes of the North
Tenets of Faith[]
He endorses honorable battles and the use of force of arms to settle disputes, and forbids cowardice.
Although war is a destructive process, the church of Tempus doesn't approve of mindless slaughter and destruction. Even though Tempus's portfolio is the opposite to Eldath's, goddess of peace, he knows that war without peace is meaningless and thus orders that followers of Eldath must not be harmed. Followers of the Battle Lord that fail to follow this command, are punished.
Followers[]
His worshipers are warriors, barbarians, and priests devoted to him.
In the frozen north, Tempus is worshiped both by inhabitants of the Ten Towns, and by the barbarian tribes of Icewind Dale.
