Zitus

A greater deity in the continent of Elysia, and heavily worshipped in Eskarya. Only fragments of the faith and doctrine have been found, but in a harsh new world where the lawless roam, an iron fist is seen as necessary to establish peace and order in the new empire.

It is believed that Zitus is a zealous and unforgiving deity, with their portfolio assuming the following qualities. These seven tenets make up the laws of the lawmaker, and are often found to be written into legislation of civilised settlements as a foundation for a peaceful and lawful land.
 * 1) Order
 * 2) Law
 * 3) Obedience
 * 4) Conquest
 * 5) Crown
 * 6) Justice
 * 7) Vigilance

In the month of Marpenoth, 1496DR/2FE, Zitus has become to dominant religion in Eskarya, with Lord Aldwin Thorne making a proclamation to its people as they opened a new cathedral to Zitus.
