Tarmikos

Overview

Tarmikos is a lesser deity of the current pantheon and one of the gods raised during the Fall of the Age of Wonders. He is an elf and is aligned Neutral Good.

Tarmikos is associated with Water, Healing, and Sun, and his favored weapon is the longbow. His holy symbol is a stylized sun with a distinct aura.

Tarmikos was one of Magerris's closest allies, alongside Krom. Magerris ultimately raised both Tarmikos and Krom to godhood during the climactic struggle against Correries at Rictaria.

Like the other gods who ascended during the Fall, Tarmikos was subsequently lured into Demmazon's separated realm and remains imprisoned there.

Ascension

During the final conflict at Rictaria, Magerris faced Correries and the two gods Correries had raised, Milaynee and Ulanthar.

Magerris used the recovered Yellow Gift to raise Krom and Tarmikos to godhood, dividing the Gift's power between them.

This ascension established Tarmikos as one of the new gods created through the power of the Five Gifts.

Relationship with Magerris

Tarmikos was one of Magerris's two closest allies before their ascension.

Magerris ultimately raised Tarmikos and Krom to godhood during the battle at Rictaria, using the power of the Yellow Gift.

Prophecy

The prophecies of Pythia the Mad Prophet include the phrase:

"bringing light to the darkness."

The exact interpretation of this prophecy is not established here.

Divine Portfolio

Tarmikos's established domains are:

Water
Healing
Sun

His favored weapon is the longbow.

His holy symbol is a stylized sun with a distinct aura.

There is no established canon that these divine portfolios directly correspond to the magical specialization of the Gift used in his ascension.

The Separation of the Realms

Following the rise of the new gods, Demmazon lured Tarmikos and the other ascended deities into his home realm.

Demmazon then separated his realm from the mortal world, trapping the newly ascended gods within it.

Tarmikos remains imprisoned there alongside the other gods who were caught in the separation.
