Thoth

God of Knowledge and Learning

Thoth is God of Knowledge and Learning and his church has temple and shrines throughout the Wilderlands. His church is Neutral in outlook but stresses the value of knowledge and learning over wealth and power. His followers, normally referred to as Gnosophim wear simple robes and have a frugal outlook towards possessions. Many become monks and devote their lives to research in the libraries attached to Thoth's temples.

Unlike many other religions the priests of Thoths may be wizards and sorcerers as well as clerics. Thoth's doctrine supports the idea of magic as 'good' knowledge as opposed to the heretical ideas that stemmed from the Markrabs. His priests are active in seeking out and suppressing such dangerous knowledge and ideas which may have lingered in the world since the time of the War of Magicks. The center of his worship is Tula, the City of Wizards, but he has important temples in Viridistan and Quitak.
