Athor
The King
Domain: Order, law, sovereignty, and the cycles of time.
Symbol: A golden crown atop a throne of black stone.
Cults and Worship: The King was the embodiment of authority and structure, revered by rulers, judges, and those who sought to impose order on the chaos of the world. His followers believed that true power came from discipline, and that laws were the foundation of civilization. Temples dedicated to the King were often fortress-like, built to last for eternity, with rituals centered around oaths, coronations, and the passage of time.
Yet the King was also a figure of dread, for his justice was absolute and unfeeling. To defy his will was to invite ruin, not out of malice, but because disorder could not be allowed to persist**. His most devoted followers were often kings, generals, and lawgivers, but even they knew that no ruler was above the laws they swore to uphold.
The King’s Decree. It is said that the King once wrote a law so perfect that it could never be broken—until a mortal found a loophole, proving that even divine order had its limits.
The Scepter of God-King Legends claim that the King’s scepter still exists in a hidden realm, and that those who wield it gain the authority to change the laws of the world itself—but at the cost of their humanity.

Nature and Influence
The King was not a tyrant but a stern and just ruler, his decrees as unyielding as the turning of the seasons. He represented the inevitability of order, the idea that all things—even gods—must bow to the structures they create. His influence could be seen in the rise of dynasties, the enforcement of laws, and the cyclical nature of history.Yet the King was also a figure of dread, for his justice was absolute and unfeeling.

Legacy and Myths
The King’s throne—An artifact of immense power—survived the Scarring and with it Athor's legacy endures in the laws of the Kingdom of Theresia, the coronation rites of monarchs, and the unshakable belief in order that still governs The Scattered Islands. Some whisper that his crown still exists, hidden in the depths of Dresnor, waiting for a worthy heir to claim it.The King in the Modern Age
In the wake of the Scarring, the King’s influence has faded but not vanished. The Kingdom of Theresia still upholds many of his principles, and some secretive orders claim to act in his name, enforcing laws with ruthless precision. Yet without the King’s divine presence, order has become brittle, and many wonder if the Kingdom’s rigid structure is a strength or a shackle.Divine Domains
