The God of Payment

The god of merchants, mercenaries and all those who provide services at a cost. The God of Payment is about knowing the worth of things and coming to an agreement to trade them. They are the most widely worshipped god in Illiask, as whatever approach they may take towards cementing power in their own ways, many people can get behind the idea that favours done for others must be repaid in kind. Even non-worshippers often say a word or two to them when striking deals, and ask that the agreement be watched over.

As a god of Illiask, they will have a personal name unique to each of their followers, which will come to them during the course of their worship.

Followers of the God of Payment have little time for the God of Desperation, whose followers readily offer aid to those who can’t pay.

Known Heresies/Schisms

  • In Illiask, gods are open to all manner of interpretations.
  • A common disagreement is over the 4th tenet, where some argue that an act of apparent charity only creates a favour owed which can be later called upon, and thus can still have value if that is the intent.
