Lore
Though many would know Zeus from tales as the Greek god of thunder, that is not his primary function on the world of Primordus. Here he is known as the Lord of the Heavens and as an enforcer of order. Though he is not considered the father of the world's godly pantheon, he is however the judge who is tasked with settling disputes between the other deities of Primordus.
In the mortal realm he is most widely worshiped in the desert kingdom of Waa'Deem by the high orcs. For it was Zeus who bestowed the high orcs with wisdom and enabled them to overcome their savage nature. Turning what had been a race of warring barbarians into a civilized people who would create one of the great cities of trade.
Though those who anger him shall still surely face his thunderous fury, it is perhaps due to the lack of regular rain or thunderstorms in the desert that is the reason he is not most known for it on Primordus.
