Iuppiter - God of the Sky
God of the Sky, Forerunner of Kings, Commander of the Sun and StormsDomains
Light, The Sky, and Electricity.
Powers
Iuppiter is God of all that the light touches. While other gods might have direct control over a certain element or aspect of life- almost everything can be tied back to Iuppiter. Iuppiter commands the sun, which allows plants to grow, which allows animals to eat. He commands the sky, and directs the clouds, which allows life to continue. He even controls many aspects of the sun and the stars- such as their heat, light, and the shapes they make in the sky.
Vulnerabilities
Iuppiter has direct control of very few things and often works in tandem with other Gods. He can make the sun shine and the clouds cry as much as he pleases - but only the god of the earth can allow grass to grow. He can produce storms and thunder and lightning, but only Nahargu'ul can allow him water from the seas. At the end of the day, Iuppiter's abilities are the keys to life itself- but he can by no means do it all on his own.
Appearance
Iuppiter isn't often seen by many- but when he shows, it is impossible not to notice him. His sheer size towers tens of thousands of feet into the stratosphere. Legends say that in particularly brutal storms or hurricanes, his form can be seen inside the clouds for a moment when the lightning lights up the sky.
Creations
Iuppiter has created birds. They are the only living beings he is responsible for. However, cloud formations, the sun, thunder, lightning, rain, magnetism, constellations, winds, and various eclipses are all things he has is completely or partially responsible for.

Worshipers, Religion, and Culture
Iuppiter is a well known god, just not by name. Very rarely does he do much to directly effect mortals- but he receives acts of servitude and sacrifice daily (even if he doesn't want them). Wishes for good weather for a good harvest, and calm seas for good trade are all within his realm of control (with the seas being one he works with Nahargu'ul with on the regular). His worshippers are the farmers, the peasants, the kings, the sailors, the inventors, and the common man. He is referred to by many names- too many to count, but all wishing for the same or similar things.
Region or Location
Much like Naharguโul, Iuppiter's command is vast. Arguable the greatest in distance out of all the gods. However, due to the current state of the mortals, very little of his sphere of influence is actually taken advantage of. However, due to his closely knit relationship with the god of the sea- Iuppiter makes due. With trade winds, he creates pathways of travel, and with command over the stars and magnetism- items such as compasses and directions in the form of constellations have become tools of the common man. No matter where you are, day or night, near or far, Iuppiter is watching over you. Hopefully with a smile.
Personality
Iuppiter is a fairly kind and jolly god, and one that oftentimes assists mortals and their endeavors far more than he does hinder them. He is naturally kind- and enjoys the wonder of children and the awe of adults. His boisterous and fairly active lifestyle have lead him to becoming particularly invested in the wellbeing of the mortals he watches. But, his brotherhood with the god of the sea has instilled some iron into the grip of their fairly benevolent god- and when you piss him off, you will know it.
Opinions
Nahargu'ul - Despite being relative polar opposites, Nahargu'ul and Iuppiter have a surprisingly close relationship. Despite Nahargu'ul's nature as a pariah in the immortal community, his brotherhood with the god of the sea extends to the dawn of creation. So much so that the two Gods have created various natural phenomenons. Because they've touched tips so much over time, thunder, lightning, storms, and hurricanes have come into existence. They are basically brothers- each one side of a coin.
Kilgarrah - Kilgarrah and Iuppiter have had a fairly brotherly relationship. Dragons fly, and Iuppiter controls the sky itself. Dragons breathe fire- and hey, Iuppiter is a God of light. Due to his creations taking a home in the place of his power itself was Kilgarrah placing his trust in the god of the sky- who intends to never break that trust.
Nahash - Iuppiter is a warm god- jolly and red nosed like a being of happiness. While Nahash can be a little sketchy here and there, Iuppiter will always have a love for shiny objects and good fun. Both of which the bringer of hope and wealth can produce in surplus.
Dormammus - Dormammus and his sorcery has always instilled a sense of wonder into Iuppiter. While the two very rarely interact due to their busy schedules, Iuppiter will always make time for the god's company provided Dormammus is willing to blow the Sky god's mind in his latest work.
Tales
Iuppiter is god of the sun. Each day he drives a chariot of fiery serpents and horses across the sky to give light to the world.
It is said that superstorms such as hurricanes were thought up during a drunk conversation between Iuppiter and Nahargu'ul. As the tale goes, the boisterous and jolly god of the sky and the dark god of the sea had been arguing like brothers do, and as a result of their quarrel- the greatest natural phenomenon ever was born. The resulting hurricane wrecked havoc upon the land and the sea- and both gods marveled at their newfound tool. The argument ceased, and the gods continued to experiment with cooperation- leading to various kinds of storms and vortexes. Legends even tell of the infamous 'Sharknado' that led to a great loss of life. This story is almost solely spread by drunks and vagabonds, but is spread never the less.
