Signos, God of Wisdom, Knowledge and Civilisation
Born from the mind of the primordial order, Signos is revered as the wise child of Seiropia. Master to all that is remembered, and all that is forgotten, Signos holds domain over the mind itself and the potential for the knowledge it can contain. Followers of Signos can comes from many walks of life; from bards, to cartographers, inventors, lore masters, sages, scholars, scribes and wizards. When new knowledge is uncovered, and old knowledge learned, Signos is given praise for guarding this for all to partake in.
Signos is most often depicted as a faceless, hooded monk, or a mighty Silver Dragon, with each scale holding the inscribed knowledge of the universe.

Holy Books & Codes
There are two scrolls holy to Signos. The Hide Scroll and the Terminus Scroll.
The Hide Scroll contains all the teachings of Signos.
The Terminus Scroll is said to contain the secrets of creation, divined after the Time of Forging. Reading the scroll has one of three results. Either; the person reading it will find the scroll to be blank; the person reading it will be able to read it and go mad as a result or; the person reading it will be able to read it and become enlightened for it. The Terminus Scroll is the most well-guarded item for that reason.

Divine Symbols & Sigils
All followers of Signos carry a scroll, held in place by a simple chain. If opened or read, the Scroll is utterly blank. Signos’ priests dress in simplistic brown robes, preferring to put knowledge before style, and shave their heads entirely.
