Orrenthal the Rememberer
Orrenthal is the god of knowledge, memory, and the preservation of what would otherwise be lost. His titles include the Rememberer, the Patient Hand, and the Keeper of Last Words. He is a quiet god with a quiet following, honored by scribes, archivists, genealogists, and those who tend the records of the dead. His clergy hold that nothing which has been known is ever truly gone, only misplaced, and that the work of the faithful is to find it again and set it down.
His order, the Keepers of the Ledger, maintain libraries and record-houses in the older towns of Korinth, copy failing texts, keep the family lines of the common folk, and sit with the dying to take down their final words. This last office has made them welcome in places where little else is. In a world that has forgotten most of itself, a faith devoted to remembering finds ready ground.
Orrenthal admonishes his people to:
- Set down what is known, for memory is frail and ink is patient
- Sit with the dying, for the last words of any soul are worth the keeping
- Let nothing be lost twice
