Incenderre
God of secrets and flame
The last thing to read a secret before the fire consumes it is the flame itself. That is why Incenderre (on-sahn-dair) is both god of fire, but also of hidden things.
How often does a couple sit in front of the fireplace, whispering sweet nothings to each other whilst their spouses are away, or a coup planned by the bonfire on the edge of a military encampment?
Incenderre takes it all and writes it down in his book of ash and blood, to only be given out to those who know how to ask.
Many criminal organizations name Incenderre as their patron deity, which he gladly accepts. In return for their devotion, he teaches them many hidden magics.
Their secrets remain hidden until a flame touches the parchment; an informant will spontaneously combust before he can tell the guards anything about the organization's operations; an unauthorized hand touches the records and watches in disbelief as the entire stack goes up in smoke.
Some criminal groups are discomfited by the idea of being indebted to a god, and so decide to go it on their own. That's fine - but their secrets are no safer than they were before.

Incenderre and Ausa are both deities that are given secrets by their worshippers. The difference is that Ausa keeps these secrets, while Incenderre rewards his faithful with these tales told in confidence. Ausa sees Incenderre as untrustworthy and duplicitous for not keeping the secrets of his followers, while Incenderre sees Ausa as a foolish little boy with bells around his ankles.
