I am writing a short story set in the River Kingdoms (which I may turn into a background for an adventure), and I'm having an issue with Gorum's possible behavior. Would Gorum tip the tide of battle in favor of an army who has pleased him in some why or that are hardened warriors?

Do you mean Gorum? In general, the gods of the Pathfinder campaign setting don't interact too much with the goings on in the world. If it were a major battle that had implications on a global or cosmic scale, Gorum may get involved. But if it were simply two warring countries, aside from granting spells to clerics who venerated him, Gorum would likely not take part in any way.

Oh, sry about that, I did mean Gorum. I have no idea where the name Gorma came from. I edited the post.
As for the amount of involvement, I was thinking Gorum just tipping the scales of an evenly matched battle in favor of an army that would continue to campaign, whereas the other army would have come there to attempt to make semblance of peace and order. And its crucial that it works that way, because without it I have no motivation for the villain.
It's your story, so make it work the way you want. We simply provide the tools with which you can craft the adventures you want to take your readers/players/self on. So tip those scales to your heart's content!
Well, I just wanted to hear opinions and see if it would make any sense in terms of established canon. Thanks for the info, btw.
