Jove
Alignment Tendency: Any lawful
Domains: Knowledge 2014, Civilisation 2014
Symbol: Quill shaped like a question mark
Power of Knowledge. The ascendant patron of universities, teachers, and academics, Jove is also known as the Great Scientician. Jove’s church centres the scientific method in all things, which is seen by others as a touch ironic given Jove is recorded as a living being between the age of myths and the domination of the eye tyrants, but that none can agree on his origin or species. The only fact that any will settle upon is that he definitely, absolutely, could not have been gnomish. Scholars are quick to claim Jove’s name in vain when particularly flummoxed, or victoriously when making a startling discovery, ‘By Jove’ a fitting homage in either situation. Students pay tribute to Jove the night before exams, as do those seeking knowledge among books or other recording materials. Even some artists pay homage where their art relies heavily on technical knowledge. Many who follow Jove are studious yet sedentary acolytes or sages, and there are a great number of wizards and even warlocks among them. Clerics and paladins of Jove are extremely rare, and they consider any library or collection of esoteric knowledge holy ground to the Great Scientician.
