10. Name of Realm where god dwells.
Stormsurge. A plane of eternal infinite typhoons. His castle is the only land sitting on a rock in the raging storm.

15. Name & Description of temples
I got a very Viking feel from the previous posts, so for the temples I'm envisioning something like Borgund Stave Church.
Storm Spire or Tempest Temple. Always set on hilltops, near the Ocean if possible. They are towering, multi-level structures with multiple setbacks, each setback with it's own sloped roof with gable, and large iron ornamental spikes at the top of each gable. The spikes at the gables and top spire are lighting bolt spears, from pervious victories. They are all grounded to the earth, as to attract strikes form real lighting bolts during storms. Nearby the main building is almost always a stable and training field for battle. The sound of the horses racing down from the temple into battle is like the rumble of an oncoming storm.

That Brogund Stave Church looks amazing! Perfect fit. Great article to read and get even more inspiration from.

Some thoughts I had on this - I'm thinking her faithful get visions during thunderstorms. It's like massive poets/writers inspiration, they obsess over it, forgetting to eat/dress etc for hours or days. Maybe Behir and/or Storm Giants are her children? created in her image/to serve her? Maybe she is giving her followers visions to make them head towards the Stormriders and unite with them for some great quest/war? dungeonmasterblock.freeforums.net/thread/538/dm-nastics-40-odins-beard?page=2You can see her having Viking/Barbarian followers in the northland, but also sailors/fisherfolk on the coast, lizardfolk followers in the tropical mangroves. So maybe she wants a bunch of them to unite to do some ritual to create the 'perfect storm' (eg a thunderstorm that covers the world)?? Just to give them some history, maybe they've had a few fights in The Coven of 12 in the past? dungeonmasterblock.freeforums.net/thread/532/dm-nastics-thou-shalt-coven
