Teya (a.k.a. They of the Road)

Teya is the god of travel, commerce. They encourage their followers to reject greed, keep oaths, and trade equitably. They watch over all marketplaces and roads, protecting travellers from robbers, merchants from cheats, and the poor from destitution.
Their holy day is All-Comer's Day, which occurs annually the day after tax is collected in a given location. It is marked by a public festival and feast, organised by Teyan temples.

Appearance

Teya is depicted as a merchant dressed in the dignified travelling fashion of the day, with long sun-bleached hair. They are usually carrying many bags of goods for trading, and often have a set of scales hanging from a belt loop. Their palms are always visible to some degree in artistic depictions.
