Torax the Moon

Torax, my brother, my son, my husband. Know that despite the madness hidden beneath your infinite calm, I love you still.

-Nira, allegedly
Torax the Moon
Lawful

Torax is the moon god, but also the god of divinations, hunting, lycanthropes, healing, death. Often depicted as a sly-looking slender white male, Torax is, just like Nira, mostly worshipped in the rural areas and by primitive people. In the ancient times, Torax worshippers were known for their pyramids stained by the blood of many sacrifices.
