Gorm is one of the Mystaran Immortals worshipped in the ancient civilization of Cynidicea, now recalled only as The Lost City due to its descent into decadent ruin as a result of the Cult of Zargon. As such, very little is actually known about this Immortal or its counterparts Usamigaras and Madarua. All information on them that exists hails from the original module B4: The Lost City for BECMI, or the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition update from Dragon Magazine #315.
In the Cynidicean pantheon, the grim and demanding Gorm is the God of War, Storms and Justice, preaching a dogma of strength and justice tempered with mercy. His faithful wear his symbol as a tattoo on their right shoulder, and in the Lost City distinguish themselves by wearing golden masks in his likeness - a long-haired and bearded man with a stern gaze. The fourth day of each week is spent in prayer, whilst lightning storms are holy.
The cult of Gorm that remains in Cynidicea, known as the Brotherhood of Gorm, is made up of fighters and clerics. It is made up exclusively of men, although it will accept demihumans such as dwarves, halflings and elves.
