The Debt of Destruction stipulates that the clergy record the locations of dead and wild magic areas and do what they can to heal these wounds to the Weave. The Debt of Dereliction states that TormвЂ™s agents must expend every resource possible to eliminate cults of Cyric and Bane, and to work against the insidious Zhentarim. To repay their persecution of other goodly religions, the clergy must aid the establishment of other good faiths as part of the Debt of Persecution. TormвЂ™s clerics often multiclass as divine champions, divine disciples, or paladins.Д¬lerics and paladins of Torm swear themselves to the Penance of Duty, a guide of responsibilities and obligations outlined by the Loyal Fury himself after discovering the rife corruption within the church during the Time of Troubles.

In addition to the daily morning prayer, clerics are expected to give thanks and honor to Torm through quiet prayers at noon, dusk, and midnight. Shieldmeet, traditionally a time when Faerunians enter new agreements and compacts, is a time of great religious significance to followers of the deity of duty who take their oaths very, very seriously. The 15th of Marpenoth sees a more jovial ritual in the form of the True Resurrection, which celebrates the anniversary of TormвЂ™s return to Toril at the behest of Ao. On the 13th of Eleasis, they celebrate a somber ceremony known as the Divine Death to commemorate TormвЂ™s sacrificial destruction of Bane. Both Torm and his holy warriors know the costs, and both are more than willing to pay them to deliver the good people of Faerun from a world dominated by the lord of Darkness.Д¬lerics of Torm pray for their spells at dawn. They know that the secrecy of BaneвЂ™s cult prevents open warfare, and that the menace of the Black Hand returned will not be quenched easily or without great loss of life. Torm and his followers take a more realistic view, knowing that the current day is far different from the Time of Troubles, when the two deities met as essentially equal mortals. Such has happened within the lifetime of every adult in Faerun, and many expect it to happen again. They eagerly hope that the menace of the Black Hand can be dealt with after another great battle, that the revived church of Bane can be crushed by an army of paladins with holy hearts and sanctified swords. Now that Bane has returned, the people look to the Loyal Fury and his mortal agents for salvation once again. In the fourteen years following that time clerics of Torm have enjoyed popularity unparalleled in Faerun. This adoration extended to TormвЂ™s church, which experience a renaissance and philosophical blooming as its numbers swelled and new thinkers and adherents joined the congregation. In nations across the continent, Torm became a symbol of heroism and bravery, the ideal knight serving his followers with a transforming act of self-sacrifice appreciated even by great Ao himself. TormвЂ™s destruction of Bane broke the back of Zhentil Keep by eradicating that nationвЂ™s divine support, allowing the Dalesfolk, for a short while, to breathe a sigh of relief. As such, he became a hero to good-hearted people throughout the continent, a savior who in slaying Bane delivered Faerun from the machinations of the deity of strife and tyranny. Torm battled Bane in the harbor of the city of Tantras during the Time of Troubles, destroying the Black Lord in personal combat (he too died in the conflict, but was later returned to life by Ao). Stern, righteous, and unyielding in the face of evil, TormвЂ™s spirit lifts when dealing with his friends, the weak, the defenseless, and the young. During that seminal event, Torm allowed himself to be controlled by his own corrupt, oppressive clerics for a short time, an occurrence that gave him perspective on his own flaws and enhanced his sense of humility. Though a true deity with awesome power at his disposal, the Loyal Fury is all too familiar with the failings of mortal men, having fallen victim to hubris, gullibility and ignorance when confined to a mortal shell during the Time of Troubles. An ascended hero who lived his mortal life in service to a just sovereign, Torm eschews the pretense of his fellow deities, instead adopting a humble position that he exists to serve the common good and the rule of law as established by honorable mortal rulers. Torm (torm) the True, patron of paladins and unswerving enemy of corruption and evil, serves the people of Faerun by exemplifying the chivalric ideal. 3 History and Relations with other deities.
