Althjof

God of thieves and tricksters

Some would label Althjof (ALTH-hoff) as nothing more than the god of selfishness, but anyone with a lick of sense knows that the amount of people who choose to steal simply because they like the thrill is close to none.

No - it is because they are in need. In that way, Althjof is a benevolent deity to the poor, and many flock to his worship to keep them safe as they feed their families in the only way they can.

Physical Description

Body Features

Since most works that depict deities for public viewing are commissioned by the rich, they choose the subject matter.

The "decent" deities, such as Kona-Karr, Felisis, and Kanai get prime spots, while evil deities like Reka and Angoi'suppice get second billing as the proverbial punching bags for the good guys. A deity like Althjof, who is not only a deity that advocates (if we're being frank) for the disenfranchisement of the wealthy but is also such an ambiguous figure does not often make the cut - and as such, there are not many works to draw from for his standardized look.

The ones that do exist generally cast him as one of the evil deities, or are guerrilla murals in the poor districts.

That being said, depictions of Althjof normally paint him as a pale middle-aged halfling man, with sideburns, a beard, and the most charming smile you've ever seen. His hair is brown and stringy, coming down to his shoulders.

Apparel & Accessories

Depictions of Althjof done in poorer districts tend to dress him as one of their own: in rags and clothing that has been patched within an inch of its life.

The depictions from richer areas depict him in uniform black - an assassin in the night.
