Thoth

The god of knowledge. The worshipers of Thoth believe that everything is predetermined and written in the "book" of the universe. The purpose of life is to "read the book", that is to uncover all.  Thoth invented the alphabet, and the priests of Thoth are chosen to transfer knowledge from the world into books, until the day when all knowledge is stored in books and all intelligent beings will be happy, for then they will have the knowledge to always act in the best of possible ways. The universe is infinite, so the work of the priests is never over, but each book added to the library makes the life of man a little better. As everything is predetermined, it makes no sense to speculate about the future. Rather one should read the books already written and try to extract wisdom. The Thoth priesthood are known for their portents of the future, especially those collected in the Incunabula Obscura. The fact that the portents are not accompanied by guidelines of how to avoid or fulfill them is not a consideration, nor is the fact that the portents often are obscure or incomprehensible. What matters is the correctness of the portents, even if they may never be recognized as being correct. According to priests of Thoth, the portents are similar to letters, if you know how to read them, they make perfect sense. The Thoth priests are often stereotyped as living in a world of their own, sensing little of what lies immediately before them. This is not true, though they are not the most adventurous of priests. Their work with the collection and passing on knowledge is greatly appreciated by many. Many schools and colleges are run by the Thoth priesthood.
