Tharos

Tharos has two aspects, one as the god of knowledge, and the other as the god of protection. In his aspect as god of knowledge, he was the initial patron of the organisation that morphed into the Order of Shield-Bearers. They were a group dedicated to searching for the Chosen One. Once they found the Chosen One, they switched over to his protection aspect and incorporated Wetos in his aspect as god of liberation. The modern-day Order sometimes leans a little too hard on Wetos' core of vengeance.
