Shen Ryo
Common Lore
Shen Ryo is a god who holds high prominence in Triton society, though he is not considered honorable to worship by much of higher society he is venerated by the lower classes and many of the other species that make up the average Triton city.
The god of Tactics, Thievery and Cheating is often visualized as a slim Triton man, smiling subtly with several remora attached to his shoulders. He is widely believed to be the reason that the Triton worship Boral and is often associated with Betrayal.
Uncommon Lore
Shen Ryo can be attributed as a prime mover behind the survival of the rest of the Pantheon, ultimately helping Goh Shiyo fall in such a way that it convinced Boral that he had done it all on his own. Certain sects of Shen Ryo worship him specifically for this, considering his best trick to be the one that helped the pantheon survive.
The conspiracy was one of obfuscation, manipulating the Crusade in its final moments in such a way that proved a certain level of worth to Boral of the Pantheon and was orchestrated specifically between Shen Ryo and Goh Shiyo.
There are many worshippers of Goh Shiyo who despise Shen Ryo for his seeming duplicity, hunting Shen Ryo worshippers in secret as vengeance for the fallen god.
