The worship of Stheno, the androgynous god of decay and dissolution, is proscribed in most regions, but worship of the deity is so limited that it is a rare event when his worshippers are discovered. Once a powerful political and religious force in the world, Stheno’s worshippers now are mostly undead creatures bent on either fighting with the undead of Tethys, who Stheno looks to with avarice, or seeking archaic knowledge hidden in the recesses of time. Unlike Tethys, Stheno encourages her undead worshippers to ally with each other when seeking common goals and her undead tend to be strangely social creatures, despite their unliving state.
