AMAUNATOR

The Keeper of the Eternal Sun, the Light of Law, the

Yellow God

Trickery

Death

The rule of law and the glory of the sun are both in Am-

aunator's dominion. His priests help establish bureau-

cracies and lawful order in communities. They often wit-

ness contracts and signed agreements, stamping such

documents with the sun-symbol of Amaunator to signify

their validity.

His priests teach that Amaunator has died and been

reborn time and again. Like the sun, he might pass into

the realm of darkness, but inevitably his bright gaze

will fall on the world once again. Amaunator is seen

as a stern and unforgiving deity, not unlike Silvanus in

comportment, but his concern isn't for the balance of

life-he cares that things proceed according to the ce-

lestial order, that promises are kept, and that the rule of

law persists.

SYMBOL OF AMAUNATOR

Red crescent moon with a skull between the

moon's horns

White hand, palm outward

Farmers and travelers beseech him when they pray

for rain or sun, as do any others looking for a favorable

change in the weather. But the most common form of

propitiation to Amaunator is the practice of swearing

oaths, signing contracts, and declaring laws under the

light of the sun. So ingrained in the common perception

is the connection between a solemn oath and the sun

that those engaged in closing deals or issuing edicts

often pause and wait for a passing cloud to clear the sun

before completing the transaction or pronouncement.

ASMODEUS

The Lord of the Ninth, The Cloven, Old Hoof and Horn

Open worship of Asmodeus began roughly a century

ago when small cults with charismatic leaders sprang

up in the aftermath of the Spell plague. That catastrophe

left many asking why the gods were angry or had aban-

doned them. To those questioners, the faithful of Asmo-

deus provided answers and a god who would forgive all
