Orchus

Orchus is a mysterious deity that even his priests do not fully comprehend. He is alternately kind and spiteful, speaks in riddles and allies himself with both the forces of darkness and of light. Adventurers are his most common lay worshippers, though many gamblers and prostitutes have taken him as a patron, even though he shows them little favor. Orchus encourages his worshippers to discover new things while himself having a strange hatred for scholars and intellectuals. Despite his deeply diametric nature, Orchus tends to be surprisingly fair in how he doles out good and bad fortune, though his fairness is often deeply obfuscated.

Orchus it the only deity said to be immune to the powers of Paelemona, Goddess of Fate, and because of this her worshippers are directed to oppose him wherever possible.
