Kaiotim (kay-oh-teem)

God of Honor

Kaiotim is the deity of integrity and of duels. He is depicted as a leonin or a shifter with a mane of brilliant blond hair, golden armor, and his golden spear, Kathisyni, which doubles as his symbol.
Son of Pola and Kallipilos, Kaiotim is quite literally the golden boy of the Kossic pantheon. As a child he was taught the ways of war by Zole, but his inherent sense of justice drew him in a different direction.
As the deity of honor, Kaiotim presides over one’s personal honor and justice. He is an advocate of holding one to a very high standard, and those who would disparage oneself need to be brought to justice. Though his mother is typically depicted as the judge of the Kossic gods, Kaiotim plays an integral part in legal proceedings as it is through him a just solution is found. Unsurprisingly, Kaiotim is angered by injustice, though given that justice is itself subjective, it is not unknown for him or his worshippers to lash out at targets perceived to not deserve what they are receiving.
Worshippers of Kaiotim are found among all legal entities in Koss, as well as any who seek justice or vengeance, and his temples can be courthouses, dueling grounds, or even the secret shrines of the oppressed.
Kaiotim is beloved by his parents, as well as his mentor Zole and husband Lycotasmos. His sister-in-law, Exo, thinks he is too much of a stickler for the rules and he thinks she is barbaric, the two clashing frequently. Kaiotim is mistrustful of Kairemos and their daughter Peri, though for the most part he keeps this under wraps in order to keep order.
