Zenithar is the Divine of work, commerce and trade.Varieties of Faith in the Empire He preaches that his followers should work hard, be wise in their spendings, and never steal.Mysteries of the Divines He is almost always portrayed as male, and is associated with the Bosmeri/Breton god Z'en, as well as with a blue star that sometimes shines over Tamriel.King Edward, Book VIII
==Overview and worship==
Like his Aedric brethren, he cannot directly interact with Nirn, however he can influence it in his own way. Zenithar teaches to work hard, not for the material wealth it provides, but for the spiritual benefits. The fruits of hard labour praise Zenithar, according to his priests.Dialogue with Kantav Cheynoslin In the Empire, he is mainly worshipped as a god of merchants and middle nobility, appearing to give him a diverse group of followers. A common phrase spoken by his worshipers is that Zenithar is the god 'that will always win'.
Zenithar is often said to be closely associated with Kynareth, as the materials required for Zenithar's craftsmanship must be derived from Kynareth's natural world. Thus, one cannot revere Zenithar without acknowledging the power of Kynareth.Dialogue with Carodus Oholin This bond is shown when the Divine Crusader could only acquire the Mace of the Crusader, Zenithar's only known artifact, when wearing the Boots of the Crusader, which are associated with Kynareth.Events of The Path of the Righteous
==Artifacts==
Zenithar's only known artifact is the Mace of the Crusader. During the Alessian Slave Rebellion, each of the eight divines granted Pelinal Whitestrake a holy relic, together known as the Relics of the Crusader.Dialogue with The Prophet Zenithar's gift to Pelinal was the mace. It is said that upon Pelinal's death, a messenger brought the mace to Leyawiin. Centuries later, visions of the mace would start appearing to people who prayed to the tomb of St. Kaladas, the architect of Leyawiin chapel. Many have since tried and failed to get the mace, including Sir Ralvas of the Knights of the Nine. Eventually, the Hero of Kvatch figured out that one needs to wear the Boots of the Crusader to successfully reach the mace, and thus succeeded at retrieving the item.
