Venti

Demi-Servants
Anatuu
Anatuu is the serpent pet of Venti, that chases its own tail creating an ouroboros. Blind and unthinking, it wanders across the world, bringing with it a great cyclone that destroys all in its wake. As it nears land it finally devours itself, fading into mist only to reform again in the ocean. Anatuu is sometimes even beyond Venti's control, thus not all ill weather is the fault of the Stormlord.
Yopaat
Yopaat is a bolt of lightning given life by Venti. He serves as a faithful servant and good friend to the Stormlord, whose primary service is that of delivering messages to other gods. Yopaat is also recognized as Venti's marksman, able to fire bolts of lightning with unmatched speed. He is often seen during truly severe thunderstorms, where it is rumored that Yopaat is sent to smite adulterers who have not redeemed themselves of their misdeeds, or even revel in what they do.
Mythos
In the later days of the Pantheon, as they began to grow forth across the realm at large, and command the progress of the Civilized realm, Arvora set about to sway the ideals of her elders, The Infinite and The Arcane, in order to demand from them that there be an entity to command the powers at be within the air. As, with the budding world, Arvora herself could not keep up with such minute tasks as the sky and sea-borne winds.
While Vassas himself was not so utterly pleased with the concept of another member of the Pantheon, he reluctantly permitted Arvora to set about with the creation of another deity that would ease her own load of work among the realm of men. Such, laden with her very breath, the Matron of Life formed from a portion of her power an entity whose domain stretched across the freely flowing realms of the Sky and Air. As his form began to draw together into a fair-haired man, she sculpted his persona and dignity herself. As such, she issued to him the name of Venti, and her very first divine child set about upon his stoic, and unwavering task.
Venti's Doctrine
- Always use your words before using violence as a tool.
- Do not let others stomp over your kind nature.
- Do not underestimate the power of the gale.
Plane of Origin
The White Tower
In the center of the ocean, far beyond the reach of any mortal ship, spins a colossal cyclone, tall enough to reach the clouds. Its winds are white as marble, and move with such a powerful gale that the tower appears as though it were made of a solid material. This is the gateway to Venti's realm, an impassible typhoon that wields enough force to tear asunder the greatest ships known to man.

Traditions among worshippers of Venti tend to vary, but among all of his pious a single ritual remains a common factor.
