Zelos

From FeyworldWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Zelos is God of the State and protector of stable governance, regardless of its form. In the Aebasan tradition, he is a staunch supporter of democracy, while in the Imperial Tradition he supports the rule of the Emperor. As Ptharos is often referred to as Grandfather of the Gods, Zelos is the Father of the Gods, having sired Ladon, God of Work, Meliboea, Goddess of Justice, Taygete, Goddess of Childbirth, and Thalia, Goddess of the Hearth. Because of his support of established governments, his clergy are typically accorded much respect and have great political power, despite having few direct worshippers. The authoritarian Holy See of Cambrecia is dedicated to the worship of Zelos.
