Phemos is the god of sport and encourages his followers and those who propitiate him to deal fairly and honestly in competition with others. He is also the patron of nobles who desire to be kind and fair to their people and entreats them to avoid the plague of war whenever possible. Though his priesthood tends to lack any real political power, they are surprisingly numerous, most often acting as officials in local festivals and tournaments. He is particularly beloved in Aebasa and the former Empire of Zeth, where the Phemoan Games (once called the Zetian Games in Zeth) are played every Spring. During these Games, Zeth essentially ceased any ongoing conflicts and invited even their enemies to enjoy a peaceful week of competition. The Zetian Games were so popular in the Empire that athletes were often able to make a career out of participating, and every athlete hopes for the honor of an invitation from the Emperor to play in the Games in the City of Zeth itself. Some of the nations that once composed the Great Empire now conduct their own versions of these games.
