Pantheon
Turelezo is a members of the Vermadad Pantheon. Part of the 4 "Good" gods, he has a generally positive relationship with all of the good gods, particularly Perezina, however he is not the hugest fan of Jestus's regular usage of metal and stone, and Codicallo generally ignoring nature. Like all the "good" gods he doesn't have the greatest relationship with the 4 "Evil" gods, though he gets along with Sabrindo relatively well, due to there shared interest in conversation, and his "opposed" deity is Verastol and while the two do greatly dislike due to ones emphasis on land based life and another covering water based life each other they don't hate each other as much as other "opposed" deities.
