Hermes - God of Civilisation
Hermes is the God of Diplomacy, Trade and Travel. They are a friendly and sociable deity, highly energetic and constantly active.
Hermes is also known as the "Herald of the Gods" as they can easily traverse between Planes. They are a psychopomp, one of the beings responsible for ferrying souls to the Underworld, along with Charon, The Keres, and Thanatos. But unlike the other psychopomps Hermes is incapable of passing through The Divine Gate.
Hermes is commonly worshipped by merchants, thieves and travellers, usually for good fortune. They are also the patron of Heralds, protecting diplomatic meetings. Hermes is highly tied to civilised life and can be found worshipped all throughout mortal civilisation.
