Ius(God of the Moon)

Ius is the God of the Moon, born of the union of Emitaf(God of Water) and Ogun(God of Earth). A well known trickster god famous for involving himself with the the affairs of mortals, Ius was born soon after his brother Sifor. While Sifor took a radiant, life giving celestial object as the focus of his divinity, Ius chose to hide in shadow. However, his brother's radiance still illuminates him, shedding light on his unscrupulous activities. It is said that the phases of the moon are caused by Ius attempting to hide from his brother, wrapped in a constant ebb and flow. Because of this, Ius is at his most powerful during a new moon, when he is completely hidden from Sifor.

When Sifor went after Zavan during the Godswar, Ius aligned himself with the God of Man. This was not an act of charity, as Ius considered a decent opportunity to get rid of his brother once and for all. Although the Godswar was a particularly chaotic period, there are no verified stories of his actions during the war, though like all of the other gods he has not been heard from since it happened. Most prescribe his lack of action in the war however as the result of Cenos's death before reaching Ius's plane.

Ius took the mortal form of whatever pleased him at the time, though he often chose elves and halflings for the natural dexterity and cunnning. The elusive changelings and the deceptive mimics can both trace their origins to his influence.
