Pavor

Pavor is the god of travelers, explorers, messengers and conjurers. Said to be the fastest of the gods, it is his responsibility to usher the souls of the departed to Cthos, God of the Underworld, for final judgment. His priests are charged with guarding roads and pathways and tend to be both politically powerful and widespread. Pavor is often closely associated with Minos and the two are staunch allies; in many places, the temples to Pavor and Minos are part of the same structure. Pavor encourages those who travel in his name to tell stories to while the time away and many epic works are framed around a pilgrimage in Pavor’s name.

As Pavari Longshanks, Pavor is the Duke of Mystery of Conjuration and is concerned not only with summoning, but planar travel, a subject forbidden in most religions. In the Danic tradition, Pavor is known as Svipdag and his duties as a guide to the underworld and patron of messengers are stressed.
