Tir(God of Travel)

Tir is the god of travel, born of the union of Ova(Goddess of Beasts) and Etos(God of Peace). He manifests wherever wanderers travel, particularly on main highways and crossroads. Taking the form of mortals more so than other gods, he was fascinated with the races of Man. Holding an almost clinical viewpoint towards the new mortal inhabitants of Esai, he often took the form of an old man seeking the aid of wandering groups. Those that offered him food and shelter would be granted boons, while those that turned him away would often find themselves the victims of terrible luck for the duration of their journey.

Of all the gods, Tir was perhaps the least concerned with the politics of his celestial family. When the Godswar occurred, the god of travel's support was requested by both sides for his ability to transport large armies over massive distances through his realm. Tir ended up siding with Zavan and the humans, if only so that he would be able to continue his encounters on the road with them. Never fighting directly, he instead focused his efforts on subverting the efforts of his bretheren, confusing their forces and and in a moment of particular divine brilliance, transported the entire continent of Mirrah away from the mainland to spare it from Sifor's rays.

Ancient arcane texts state that the entire ethereal plane is in fact Tir's astral form, and that all teleportation magic through it uses the god of travel's divinity as a conduit. After his destruction, all magic items that accessed the ethereal plane ceased to function, rendering many who relied on them to travel long distances stuck wherever they were when the dust settled.

Tir is the patron of travellers of all kinds, though the roaming bands of gypsy performers called the Edema Ruh are still fervent worshippers. Many inns and taverns have small shrines and trinkets related to him, and many will advertise rooms and beds where he is claimed to have stayed. Most of these are blatant lies,but inns that the god of travel actually stayed in do have some unique power to maintain a constant flow of customers.
