Description
Tolujar is an angry and cruel God. He has no mercy and he constantly wants to dominate whatever room he is in and whatever body of water he is in. He usually takes the form of a seven-foot-tall pirate, with a large Morningstar in one hand and a shield made of bones in the other.

Tolujar has been a cause of chaos and destruction on any body of water for as long as recorded history. He was a key component to defeating the Aboleths in the Era of the Aboleths as the primary battle took place in the oceans. He was not personally involved with the Divine Cataclysm but he and the rest of the Nether Planes deities supported it. He was angered when the deities decided against repeating the destruction towards the end of the Era of Magic.

Tolujar hates the deities of the Higher Planes, especially Morkai. He can get along with the deities of the Midplanes but his personality is abrasive and makes his relationships short lived. His motives often align with Xorlog and Vane, but their alliances are temporary.

Clergy
The temples of Tolujar are often in port cities, hidden underground or hidden just off the coast of port cities. Like most evil clergy, their temples are hidden and don’t display outwardly that they are a building dedicated to Tolujar. Many pirates have altars to the deity on their boats.

Their clergy are sailors often, pirates usually, and they are often on the sea trying to destroy or dominate everything that moves. They are dressed in normal pirate garb, with an occasional dark blue robe during rituals. They also run a small black market for stolen and recovered goods from the ocean at each of their temples.

Clerics of Tolujar pray for their spells at dawn. They also perform rituals before travel so that Tolujar will spare them from his destructive tendencies. This usually involves some animal sacrifice, or some Humanoid if the particular trip was important and needed to succeed. They also perform short rituals before they attack another boat at sea.

Dogma
The sea is unforgiving. No one is spared from is destruction. No one is immune to its rage. Oceans and lakes can never be dominated, but only survived. Storms are constant and any calm is just before the next oncoming storm. You will never be free of turbulence.
