Orthus, the Stormrider, is the god of storms, particularly storms at sea but is most often worshiped as a god of war at sea. His clergy tend to be small and militaristic, though somewhat influential in coastal ports where they are not proscribed. Orthus is often depicted as riding a horrid steed created from the clouds themselves, cresting atop a hurricane or waterspout.
As Njord in the Danic tradition, he is something of a fertility god as well and appears to have lost some of his more destructive tastes; though still a god of war at sea, most gods in the Danic tradition represent some aspect of war.
