Kos

Kos, known in the lands along The Narrow Sea as Assuran, is a god of revenge and retribution. He is not typically worshiped habitually, but his name is invoked by those who seek vengeance. When a guilty party falls prey to fate-such as when a murderer escapes prosecution, but is then accidentally slain himself-the hand of Kos is given credit. When one hears three rolls of thunder in succession, it is thought to be a sign from Kos that some act of vengeance has been performed. Many human societies have the custom of ringing a bell or a gong three times when judgement of a crime is rendered or an execution takes place.
Folk speak Kos's name when they want revenge, particularly when they are incapable of avenging themselves. This invocation might be in response to a petty slight or a true injustice, and the acknowledgement of Kos might be a short prayer said aloud or might be written down somewhere. It's generally believed that the more permanent the form of the prayer, the more likely it is to be fulfilled. For this reason, some etch their prayers in lead and bury it or hide their prayers inside diaries. Aside from bounty hunters and those on crusades of vengeance, few truly revere Kos, and he is served by fewer still who would call themselves priests. Temples or shrines of Kos are almost nonexistent except for ancient sites found in Thracia, Talosia, Talaria, and Emidia.
Most consider Oberon to be the arbiter of laws, and Kos to be the god who metes out punishment that comes as a result of breaking those codes. A judge might favour the worship of Oberon, while a jailor or a headsman is more likely to pray to Kos.
Kos is the son of Kolas, and the brother of Kort and Kord. Kos has the power of a 20th level Barbarian.
