I have for a long time been fascinated by the fact that despite Arodens death that some of his servant faiths still exist gives great ideas. Now this thread is for us to create or flesh out some of these that focus on a very condensed portfolio. The first is one that could function as a patron for both the Pathfinder Society and just explorer style characters.
Marius
Alignment: N
Favoured Weapon: Longsword
Domains: Glory, Travel, Trickery
Was a saint of Arodens church that was the patron of exploration and adventure who was a member of the 1st Army of Exploration that died towards the end of the armies’ campaign. Aroden raised him up as a saint and while the Armies of Exploration existed was a prominent force with his cult inside the church in the nation of Taldor itself. With the cessation of the Explorer armies his cult faded into the background and shrink in size, when Aroden died it was believed that Marius also died. But in recent years his cult has begun to grow again and the fact that it receives divine backing raises the possibility that he still exists, possibly with a new patron.
Hope that this can give a solid start for some ideas to expand upon.
