Tougal[edit]
Alignment. Neutral Good
Domains. War
Divine Rank. Lesser Deity
Tougal is the lesser deity of fighters and dragonborn. He represents those who fight for their pride justly and fairly. His avatar is a copper dragonborn that has wings and a tail that splits into five ends. His symbol is a flail with five blades.
Cosmology[edit]
Before the fall of the Untheric Pantheon, Tougal served Bahamut as a secret messenger. Tougal would make trips at the dragon lord's behest to the Material Realm to watch over conflicts and ensure that it was not in bad faith that blood was spilled. Bahamut is the only one whom he loves to serve. Tougal is on a rather neutral stance even with allies. After Bahamut and Tiamat killed each other, he withdrew all contacts, now only watching with light interest at the battles of mortals.
Worship[edit]
He is worshipped through acts of martial prowess, often in contests. In battle, those who commit to great feats of strength and bravery are said to do so in his name. Temples erected in his honor are often on topographical sites overlooking areas of historical battle, where he is said to witness all the glories of his followers. His followers are mainly dragonborn, and his clerics are rather rare. They often wear metal armor with a scale pattern to resemble that of dragon scales, with engraved wings on the back. As they value strength and valor, they are usually better versed in combat than the usual cleric. Despite his withdrawal, his following believes he still sways the tides of battle in their times of need.
Artifacts[edit]
It is said that, upon hearing of Bahamut's demise, Tougal was so distraught and overcome by grief over his lord that he shattered his trademark mighty flail into a hundred pieces in mourning. Each of those pieces fell like a meteor shower down, scattering across Faerun. Whoever possesses even one of these shards is said to have great luck in battle and insight into tactics. Tougals followers eagerly search for these fragments in hopes of reforging the flail.
