Thylius is the gatekeeper to the afterlife and the god of information and knowledge. In order to make his judgments he learns all he can about each individual and uses his acolytes to increase his ever expanding pool of information. In return he trades some of the knowledge he has gained. His only motive is to learn more, and rarely gives more than he takes. He respects the power inherent in knowledge and teaches his followers the strange permanency surrounding knowledge in that once you learn a secret it cannot be unlearned, but at the same time sharing one eliminates the power it once held. Using a known secret at the critical moment is something his truest devotees strive to understand in pursuit of their own divine goals. Some see him in a brighter light, as the pursuit of knowledge requires truthfulness and an open, inquisitive stance towards new ideas and cultures in the world. In every case though Thylius seeks servants who deliver secrets to him and reward them through life and death. He is a favored deity of wizards and researchers of all sorts, as well as rogues, assassins, and diplomats.
