Othtur

Othtur, also known as the Black Hand, the Black Lord and the Dread Liege, is the god of domination, duty and control. Once a strong and responsible deity of agriculture, personal tragedy has led him down the path of war and his iron hand now holds the majority of Sandoria within its totalitarian grip. He is a member of the Protectorate, and loyal satrap to Itrenar, the Blazing Redemption. In these dark times he serves as the deified leader of the Protectorate's armies as well as the overlord responsible for holding the dissenting peoples of Naen in tight check so that the Inquisition can continue unabated.
=== Prayers ===
Reciting a deity's prayers daily grants the cleric 1 point of Piety.
Othtur's prayers may be observed at any time, as the line of duty might well obstruct a regular schedule.
=== The Nine Acts of Reverence ===
Enacting the following acts at least once per Moon (60 days) grants a follower a number of Piety points (shown in bold). Higher-order acts require more initiative on the individual's part, are seen as higher priority by the deity or are simply more challenging to complete.
* 1 - Refraining from causing harm to a shepherd or their livestock
* 1 - Cowing a disobedient inferior or outsider to the faith through harsh punishment
* 1 - Instructing oneself and others in the arts of martial combat
* 1 - Protecting the interests of an agricultural community
* 1 - Obeying a command given by a ranking Othturan cleric or inquisitor of Itrenar
* 2 - Enforcing Protectorate law within occupied lands
* 2 - Bringing Protectorate law to an uncontrolled community
* 2 - Apprehending or killing an aberration, magus or watcher
