Eonnoe (Ee-oh-no)
Known as "He Who Judges", Eonnoe represents the triumph of civilisation over chaos and the preservation of law, order, and knowledge. His symbol appears outside courts of law, invoking his will in all matters of justice. Many judges and court scribes wear a small lapel pin depicting Eonnoe's scales, signifying their devotion to justice and impartiality. Librarians and archivists also worship Eonnoe as the preserver of knowledge. The monks known as the Guardians of Eonnoe wander throughout the civilised lands and the frontiers, aiding those who would preserve order and training the local constabulary, town watch, and law court protection officers.
Alignment. Eonnoe is Lawful Neutral, as are many of his most devoted followers.
Divine Domains
