The goddess who bestowed upon Saiyans the ability to tap into Saiyan "dark" magic (umoya/auras) and their Saiyan pride
Patron Saiyan: Vegeta, Prince of All Saiyans
Tor is also known as the Caretaker of Saiyan souls. She leads Saiyans to the "Intsimi Yezinyanya" or "Fields of Ancestors” (like the Elysian Fields of Roman/Greek story but more Saiyan-like). This is why Saiyans do not exist in Otherworld in U7. Tor created a separate Afterlife for “worthy Saiyans.” Those Saiyans who are not worthy end up staying in The Otherworld in U6 and U7. There are not many Saiyans however who exist in U6 in Otherworld; most Saiyans in U6 end up in the The Amasimi aka The Fields. (Amasimi is the short form word for the ancestral fields.) The U7 Saiyans who were not worthy ended up being reincarnated. Goku and Vegeta's families are in the Amasimi.
When Saiyans in either U6 or U7 receive premonitions either by chance or by force (like by a priestess assisting in communication to ancestors of their past), Tor’s realm is where they enter, a sort of purgatory between Otherworld and The Amasimi. In The Amasimi, Tor shows Saiyans what they need, not what they want. She holds nothing back. That influence comes from her younger brother, Synphot, Saiyan God of the Mind. She believes informing a Saiyan of the truth will guide them to what they actually need, even if it hurts.
In U7, Tor is the most worshiped and most popular goddess, which is in contrast with U6. Tor's penchant for mercilessness and pride above all goes against what most Saiyans on Sadala believe. However, Sadalan Saiyans believe in honor, and Tor is the goddess of death and the one Saiyans meet near death, hence why Tor isn't banished from the culture.
Tor’s chosen patron Saiyan is Vegeta, Prince of All Saiyans. Like Soli, she is protective of Vegeta, but in the sense of defending his honor and pride. She is all for putting Vegeta through trials and tribulations as she believes these challenges make Saiyans stronger overall. In addition, unlike Soli, Tor is the twin who believes in second chances for Saiyans. This is due to her ability to see multiple futures and pasts. It is also part of the reason why she is tough on Vegeta but willing to forgive him easily. She knows all that could’ve happened and didn’t.
Tor is the goddess who bestowed upon Saiyans the ability to harness Saiyan “dark” magic aka umoya/auras in U6. Saiyans in U7 also possess this ability, but they do not utilize it in any capacity as magic is looked down upon versus Saiyan strength and prowess. When Vegeta turns Ultra Ego, he taps into the power of Tor that is latent inside of him as her chosen patron/avatar.
Finally, U7 Saiyans who worship Tor live in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet, while U6 Saiyan Tor worshipers congregate in the highest mountain tops near ice and cold, closest to the stars. These Saiyans in U6 are not ostracized for being Tor worshipers, but they do not tend to mingle with a majority of the planet. They tend to keep to themselves on Sadala. On U7, it is the Soli worshipers who are slightly ostracized, living majority in the Southern hemisphere. Tor worshipers congregate closer to the Capital of Planet Vegeta where the Palace and the Temple of Tor resides -- the temple being located where the High Star (their version of the North Star) is easy to be seen and located for holy days.

I'm sure King Kai is waiting for him at the end of Snake Way as we speak. Rest In Peace, Akira Toriyama. Thank you for the magical stories you've given to so many around the world.
