Otia, God of Mercy

Otia, God of Mercy, The Benevolent Ruler. Otia radiates a comfortable aura of warmth and love. Otia was the kindest and most benevolent of the Solarian deities. Some mistook that for weakness, though such beings didn't survive to make that error twice. As the husband of Vanera, he always strived to temper his wifes hard-edged justice with a sense of forgiveness.
The preservation of life and happiness was all to Otia. He believed in mercy, both in life and death, and as such he not only healed the sick and tended the injured, but also delivered a merciful end to those nearing the end of their natural lives. He detested fiercely those who artificially prolonged theirs, even more when it was against the person or creature's will.
Some of his dragon adepts followed a draconic code of honor created by a gold dragon in the ancient past. Originally intended as a guide to conduct for the lords and church of Otia, the oath was eventually adopted by many paladins, clerics, zealots, and clergymen.
The draconic code was similar to the codes of chivalry adopted by knightly orders of humanity. It included paying homage to Otia, as well to the other combat deities Vanera and Komis. The major precepts were:
Justice and Good above all.
Honor and Fealty to the King.
Honor and Respect to Righteous Innocence.
Honor and Duty to the Balancer (Lendys), to The Benevolent Ruler, and to the Justicemaker (Bahamut).
Honor and Protection to the Lesser Races.
Honor and Correction to the Enemies of Justice and Good.
Honor and Forbearance for oneself.
He has short black hair and warm golden eyes, with slightly tanned skin. He is usually seen laughing, even when it would seem inappropriate. He is very quick to trust and even though he is merciful, he has a very competitive streak that is shared with almost all of his followers. Husband to Vanera and father to Omara and Bistrovia.
