Temple God of Paladins Inculto , Sire, Dame (a.k.a. Oathkeeper, The Binder, Truthsayer, He Who Smites the Undeath, Smite, Father of Civilization)

Righteous bells ring for those who follow the oaths! Those who subjucate the weak shall find power in conquest! They who bind themselves to virtue shall reap the rewards of devotion! Heros of the people shall find glory! Those who see the change in others shall find strength in redepmtion. Wisdom, energy, and endless devotion come to those who seek the oath of ancients. Those who defer to greater powers shall revel in the crown! The planes generate endless evils and the Watchers will always rise to meet them! The wronged will not be forgotten, vengance brings an ending for all.   What is a creatures purpose? What is the point of living? NONE! There is nothing! The universe cares not for the atom shapes and movements within it. Do we cower before such FACTS! NO! This means only what we decide matters, truly matters! Our words, actions, and above all, our oaths are what gives purpose to life. Without oaths, there is nothing. Without oaths one should simply lay down and die.   The breakers of these oaths shall fall into the depths of despair and evil!   Long live the Paladins of Potestatem!

Often alongside Moneus, God of Clerics the two are closely tied.   Inculto's many avatars and full slivers often participate in conflicts against the undead, extraplanear threats, and in drawn out wars between kingdoms.

Sonus, God of Bards occasionally irk the god as well due to their non straightforward nature.
