Trithereon, “The Summoner,” is the deity of individuality and the right of self-protection. His symbol, the rune of pursuit, indicates many things, including the need to strive for liberty and to seek to bring to an end to those who are bent on abridging life or freedom.
When upon the Prime Material Plane, Trithereon appears as a tall, well-built young man with red-gold hair and gray eyes. He is typically clad in pale blue or violet garb, with a shirt of golden chain mail often visible. He carries a broad-bladed spear, a broad sword, and a scepter in his broad girdle of gold-studded leather.
The spear is called Krelestro (“The Harbinger of Doom”). It is a +7 weapon which can be hurled 9” and will return in the same round. The sword is called Freedom’s Tongue. It is a +6 weapon which causes fear (cf. fear spell) in a 3” radius to all opponents of its wielder unless a saving throw versus magic is successful.
The scepter is the Baton of Retribution. It can locate any enemy, no matter where, unless some extra-powerful magical protection against location exists. The scepter also permits its wielder to summon certain creatures as detailed later. Merely possessing the Baton of Retribution allows the possessor to travel to any place on any plane of existence not protected by some magic to prevent such entrance. When held and wielded, the Baton will, upon desire, cause the surrounding area to become a strange place, unfamiliar to those opposing the wielder of the device. Thus, it could be a barren desert of purple rock and green skies, a swamp of milk-colored water with red plants, a featureless plain of gray and black whose ground glows as if it were translucent fire and whose heavens are black and opaque. At each such place, Trithereon must be answered one question truthfully, or else the creature in question will be consigned to the strange world for 100 years, barring some means of escape. This transferral and questioning can occur three times with respect to any individual or associated group.
As “The Summoner,” Trithereon is able to call up three creatures, one at a time, to pursue and combat those guilty of enslavement, abridgement of liberty, and similar crimes. Summoning requires but a single round. The three creatures are:
- Nemoud the Hound
- Harrus the Falcon
- Ca’rolk the Sea Lizard
Ca’rolk is a crocodile-like reptile of some 40 ft. in length.
Each of these creatures can be summoned by Trithereon once per day. The summoned creature will follow orders to the best of its ability. If slain in the course of doing so, it will take 1 week to reform on its own plane and so cannot be summoned during that period.
Trithereon is also able to gate in one of each type of deva (astral, monadic, and movanic), one per round. This deva-summoning requires one round to effect. It can be performed once per day. He will do so only to combat great evil, of course. He otherwise has powers commensurate with his status as a lesser deity.
