It was located in Pandesmos, the topmost layer of Pandemonium in the Great Wheel cosmology. Talos' divine realm was named the Towers of Ruin, the Screaming Towers, or the Towers at the Heart of the Winds, as it was always surrounded by a mighty howling whirlwind. His entire reason for existing was to prove, to mortals, gods, and himself that there was nothing that could be built that he couldn't destroy. He relished seeing what he or his followers could burn, flood, break, kill, or otherwise tear down. He was often driven to act out of the fear of looking weak or compromising to anyone, and reinforced his sense of self-worth time and time again by raining havoc and crushing beneath his might those too weak to stop him. Talos was in many ways a bully without boundaries, comparable to a malicious, spoiled child in his motivation. He reveled in chaos and exulted in unrestrained devastation, causing ruin for the pure joy of it. His actions often seemed petty and vengeful, and indeed they were. He could be roused to raging destruction by the smallest offences and hold onto a grudge for centuries after the slight. Talos was violent, angry, short-tempered, impulsive, and frequently motivated by his fury. When he appeared in Calimshan, he often took the form of a dusky-skinned, turbaned genie rising out of a sandstorm. His empty eye socket was filled with whirling stars and covered with a dark eye patch. He wore half-plate armor over black leather and black leather gloves. Talos appeared as a broad-shouldered, bearded man with one good eye.
