Eserion

God of Thieves and Defiance, a member of the Pantheon.

His physical appearance is “lean, swarthy, with shaggy black hair and perpetual mirth lurking about the eyes." He was formerly a slave of one of the Elder Gods, bred for beauty over generations.

The Eserites are organised in the Thieves' Guild, the Imperial Casino is the Temple of Eserion in Tiraas.

His bishop in the Universal Church is Antonio Darling, whose tag is Sweet, who was the former High Priest of his cult. The current High Priest is Tricks. The Guild boasts a highly decentralized structure based on Eserion's skepticism of institutions. Each local area in which the Guild has a presence has an Underboss. Eserion's known underbosses are: Velvet in Calderaas, Cpl. Timms in Veilgrad.

Eserion personally meets each fully accredited Guild member during the Tagging Ceremony, when the apprentice is given a Guild Tag, a pseudonym which follows them The Tagging Ceremony is one of the Guild's few religious rights.

Eserion is labelled by other gods as one of the most interventionist, but his works are all through mortal follower thus not engendering a divine response. Eserion commands his followers to develop their own skills and self-reliance. Eserion's cult is an oppositionalist one, famed for the dogma which starts "All Systems Are Corrupt."

During the Elder War
Eserion was bred by Szyrein and joined the Renegades in their attempt to defeat the Elder Gods.
