Talos (pronounced: /ˈtɑːloʊs/ TAHL-os), known long ago as Kozah, was the greater deity of storms and destruction in the pantheon of [[Faerûn]]. The Storm Lord was the destructive force of nature and leader of the Gods of Fury whose self-serving dogma demanded utter obedience from his priests, instructing them to spread destruction where they might. Among the Bedine of the [[Anauroch Desert]], who descended from the citizens of the [[Netherese Empire]], Talos was still known as Kozah by the 14th century DR. In [[Calimshan]] and Airspur (Chessenta), he was worshiped as Bhaelros and in the [[Underdark]], he had an aspect with a small following as Malyk, a god of wild magic. After [[The Spellplague]], many came to believe that Talos was, in fact, an aspect of the orcish god Gruumsh, but after [[The Second Sundering]] the two deities seemed more distinct. #God #Canon
