- He tends not to act overtly, as his spheres of influence dictate, but tends to reward loyal followers in unexpected manners. He keeps out of the business of other deities, but readily answers mortals' prayers, albeit without too much detail. He does have a slight sense of humour, and so sometimes agitates events a bit when his name is invoked where he had no impact.
- His more orthodox followers treat almost every scenario as a Sign, and so have a reputation for being very superstitious. This is, of course, not entirely unfounded since scholars have long tried to decode any rules by which Tispakal acts, leading to many unproven theories that are followed 'just in case'.
- Since dust is the smallest constituent which something can be made out of, it is said that he acts through this medium alone. It is not uncommon for shrines to him to be kept draughtless in order to let dust settle. These then have intricate geometric patterns drawn on them as a form of artwork, or as a focus of meditation.
- He is also the creator of the walking disaster that is Yal-Hagur.
- -
- Yal-Hagur, Thirsting God, Lord of Dust and Ashes.
- Yal-Hagur was born of dust and ash in times unknown.
- Fate had decreed a disaster Unparalleled to any before it and It fell to tispakal to make it true, yet he had no control over disastrous powers. Only dust was his medium to the mortal world, but not much can be achieved with covering things in dirt. Tispakal in a fit of frustration simply gathers the dust collected onto his shrines and attempts to give it a form of a scourged sandstorm to no avail. Sweat falls from his brow on the from exhaustion. The drop disappears into the pile and for a second gives it form. Tispakal sweated more and finally from the dust a figure was birthed, a spindly creature with no blood in its veins or water to satisfy it's thirst. Tispakal's cultists named the creature Yal-hagur, thirsting God in a dead tongue.
- He traveled to lush forests to suck them dry and dive in lakes, turning them into deserts and pits of gravel. He traveled more and more, sucking dry everything he came across, but nothing could sate his thirst. In his wake other creatures of dust and ash were born, also thirsting eternally. It was then when Yal-Hagur came across a living creature. It looked wet and full of water, so Yal-Hagur sucked the creature dry and finally, for a moment, he know satisfaction. It was not water he was after, but the other liquid of life: blood. He now wants blood, more blood than anything in the world could provide. He is now an enemy, an entity of death and destruction who only seeks to make the world dry to satisfy himself of the eternal thirst that ravages his body.
- His creation is believed to have been caused by Tispakal, but the reason for it is unknown and lost to time.
