Dhȳrōs¶

Dhȳrōs, the God of Sins and Transgressions, occupies that uncomfortable space where even discussing his worship makes polite company shift nervously. His followers, who rarely identify themselves openly, believe that exploring one’s darker impulses represents a necessary path to self-awarness.

I've encountered several self-professed Dhȳrōsian priests during my travels. Unlike most deities’ temples, which advertise their presence, Dhȳrōsian shrines hide in plain sight, often disguised as ordinary taverns, bath houses, or social clubs where the truly interesting activities occur in back rooms.

Dhȳrōs supposedly maintains a complex rivalry with his son Temrūs, representing the shadow to his righteous light.

Dhȳrōs devotees should:

• Test others’ moral boundaries
• Indulge in forbidden desires
