Background
Dvalin was the god of weather, particularly as it related to agriculture and growing things. Farmers of all sorts paid him homage, but his patronage was especially strong among vintners: religious traditionalists consider the making of wine to be a sacred duty, so a healthy grape harvest has profound importance for the entire religious system.
He would assist other members of the Pantheon out of friendship, or if they have something he wants, but he doesn't try to impose any kind of moral or ethical code on anyone else. He cared nothing for the ongoing feud between Kammoloth and Ba'al, and was known to fraternize with daedra lords as well as his fellow Gods of Heaven. Some of Lilith, Nocturna and Suspira's children are even rumored to have been sired by him.
Dvalin's sexual appetites are nearly as infamous as Kammoloth's were in the days before the Great Fall, and there are many stories of him seducing young shepherdesses and other attractive mortals. Many of these are anecdotal and cannot be proven in the slightest — but plenty of half-human godlings have found their way into the celestial courts over the centuries, and more than a few of them have displayed noteworthy talents with wind or lightning.
He draws his power from nature itself, particularly nature's rawest and deadliest forces — volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes and other violent storms, etc. Certain offerings and ceremonies by supplicants can also bring him power, and act as a substitute for the terrifying weather patterns he would otherwise unleash (and thus feed from).
Holy Symbol

Symbolic Creature

Holy Day
Dvali'kema, April 30th. On this day prayers were offered by the Lothanasi for good weather and good crops for the upcoming year.
Current Activities
Dvalin is now the Prince of Orien, a protectorate in southeastern Sathmore and one of the Empire's "breadbasket" regions. Dvalin uses his power to insure that the crops grown in this fertile region are always well-watered. While he has been criticized by some of the other avatars for his penchant for taking human lovers (and thus siring half-celestial offspring), he is a trustworthy and competent governor who is generally well-liked by his people.
There are also some rumors that he continues to fraternize with some of the daedra lords. Talia may have children with him since the Great Fall, given the powers of some of her non-dark nymph children, but neither the Vampire Queen or Dvalin are talking.
