Kalona

Kalona, often referred to as The Destroyer, is one of the major deities on the world of Sprin'Torel. She is often referred to as the personification of chaos itself. As such, people fear her more than they revere her. They respect her authority and power as a god, but very few see her as a goddess that people ought to worship - especially not when she's very often blamed whenever bad things happen.

Yet, some people argue that this sense of fear should not be mistaken as respect for her power. These people point out that those who fear her treat her almost as if she was a member of the Shadow Pantheon, but that as long as there is no wanton havoc, then she has done nothing wrong. Though, these people who make these observations tend to be feared as much as Kalona, herself.

Worshipers
Those who worship Kalona tend to take pleasure in destroying things for the smallest reason. This has led people to pay close attention to people whenever they claim to worship Kalona. Whenever something gets destroyed, fingers always immediately get pointed at Kalona's followers, with all kinds of organisations looking for reasons to just crack down on them. Though some of her followers - and even The Belfry, themselves - say that this discrimination is completely unfounded.

Clerics
Kalona's clerics are usually murderous at worst and intent on committing felonies at best. They believe that the best way to worship Kalona is by destroying whatever they want. Some of these clerics are able to reign it in long enough that they can help out with mines or demolishing condemned buildings, but many of these clerics are simply too dangerous for the public and tend to be frowned upon by the rest of society.

Orders
There are no known orders that follow Kalona.

Rites
As with all other religions, the worship of Kalona involves many rituals and rites. Many of these rituals involve sacrifice and destruction, but there are some simple prayers intended to bringing destruction upon their enemies. Below is an example of a prayer to Kalona:"'Let their own table before them become a snare; and when they are at peace, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and make their loins tremble continually.Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your burning anger overtake them.May their camp be a desolation; let no one dwell in their tents.For they persecute him whom you have struck down, and they recount the pain of those you have wounded. Add to them punishment upon punishment; may they have no acquittal from you.Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; let them not be enrolled among the righteous.'"
