Sirus is the embodiment of free-will, and the last born of the deities of rhila. His twin sister, Abhirati, is seen as mirror to what he could have been for the forces of good. It is generally believed that Sirus would have been a deity of creation, but instead he chose to eschew most of his divine responsibilities.
Contents
Description
Most descriptions available of the deity describe him as a young man in his mid to early twenties, appearing in the general description as a man from Syrc. His hair is a commonality between appearances, being dark, tight ringlets.
However, unlike the other deities, Sirus pays attention to the human styles of the times, and his cloths match these observances. Even with that attention to detail, key details to the costuming are incorrect. Cuts, fabrics, and patterns typically take more influence from the style the new style is based from, rather than the style itself.
Personality
The god of free-will is a complex individual. He envies the lives on men he frequently travels with. However, the Law of Balance indicates that another deity of free-will will be chosen should he give up the mantel, and he's uninterested with burdening someone else with the responsibility. There are those who believe that Sirus, instead, enjoys being the underdog and would be lost without that purpose.
Location
It can be difficult to locate Sirus. While he maintains a Temple in the southern tip of Syrc, it lies uninhabited by the deity most of the time.
However, it is often said that he spends a significant portion of his time on the open seas, sailing with a large crew.
Worship
He is the chief deity prayed to by slaves and those about to undergo choices against the wishes of those close to them. This, naturally, includes those of the star-crossed lovers variety. Many noble families on Syrc have had their young heirs in with his congregation. Enclaves and sanctuaries for travelers, criminals, the poor, and those escaping their 'familial duties' (arranged marriages, etc) have sprung up across Syrc. It is believed that Sirus occasionally visits these sanctuaries.
