Tharsias

God of Wealth & Merchants

Tharsias, similar to Avarcus, is a god of wealth. Unlike the other god, they are concerned with equitable trade and growth, rather than amassing a hoard and simply taking. With this advocation, Tharsias has risen up as a god of merchants, traders, and moneylenders. Tharsias spreads the belief that a fair deal is the best deal, leaving both parties feeling the same way about their sale, be that content, cheated, or aggrieved, but that a canny salesman always makes a profit.
Tharsias is also depicted as a dragon with vast wealth, but unlike Avarcus his hoard is curated and collected with meticulous books. Tharsias will freely trade the possessions of his hoard, though the god always profits from the bargain. Tharsias will also lend out parts of his hoard, but not without demanding some form of interest.
Tharsias also acts as a guarantor for some bargains or deals. Should he be invoked through ritual and a generous offering, the draconic god will offer their seal to a contract, making it binding by means more than any mortal could ensure. The seal of Tharsias allows for even grander terms to the deal.
Should anyone cheat Tharsias or try to go back on a bargain. Or should anyone go back on a deal that Tharsias has guaranteed, Tharsias will send their angels after the cheater, hounding them for everything that they have to give, driving them to ruin and desperation.
Tharsias has taken as its symbol a bull’s skull. Since the bull has been held as one of the original symbols of wealth, it was embraced by the god. The bull’s skull was filled with gold in its eyes and coins around its horns.
