Description: The faith of Thenos is unusual in that it is a monotheistic one - the Church of Thenos holds that Thenos is the only true deity, and that the other beings worshiped by humans are powerful spirits at best, or deceitful demons at worst. The faith has a lot of strictures that its followers are supposed to follow, which generally revolve around living a life free of deceit, following the orders and dictates of one’s religious superiors, helping other members of the faith, and spreading the word of Thenos until every thinking being can be counted among his followers.

The faith originated as a minor underground sect in the eastern Atalan Empire, but it only came into its own as the church became organized and uniﬁed the region now known as Thenares. There are several recorded instances of divine interventions by Thenos during the uniﬁcation campaign, but these ended shortly after the campaign ended (some scholars claim that this marks the progression of Thenos from “Lesser God” to “Greater God”), leaving the church hierarchy to rule over the newly established theocracy.

While the armies of Thenares are still strong, they are for now kept inside the borders. This doesn’t mean that the faith has ceased expanding, however - instead, the country has ﬁnanced aggressive missionary activities in other regions. Where they manage to stay on friendly terms with the local authorities, they tend to build large cathedrals and admonish the ﬂock to support their rulers as the temporal authority. Where they are persecuted, they stay underground and encourage rebellions against the current power structure. In either case, they frequently support soup kitchens and run hospices for those too poor to afford professional medical care, which tends to make them popular with the urban poor.
