What do we know about Irori?

[Herremann the Wise]

I was just wondering what (official or otherwise) knowledge we have of Irori to date. I've plucked out the following but is there anything else around?

Standard Information:
- Deity: Irori
- Alignment: LN
- Portfolios: God of history, knowledge, self-perfection
- Domains: Healing,Knowledge, Law, Strength, Rune
- Favored Weapon: unarmed strike

Other references:
- "Mindful priests of Irori"
- Relationship with Southern monks devoted to self-perfection who guard their "brethren in the faith"
- The House of Blue Stones: a monastery/library in Sandpoint

From the Blog:
- Symbol of Irori - Dark blue hand, palm out, inscribed inside a sky blue circle

Best Regards

I'd like to see him take Psionics too.

I myself have always looked at psionics as similar to a monk's discipline. If a Psion is a sprinter, using up his chi/powerpoints in short massive bursts of power, then the monk is a marathon runner

I'm sorely tempted to swap out the rune domain or healing domain for the mind domain.

In the current draft of the Pathfinder Chronicles Gazetteer, which will feature a few paragraphs on Irori, Irori's adherents follow a strict mental and physical regimen, and are considered a dangerous cult by many outsiders. Psionics is a natural evolution from this, as are powers derived from ki (such as many monk abilities).

Incidentally, Irori is known by the faithful as the Master of Masters.

Friend of mine started runelords campaign and no one wanted to play a healer, so I sucked up the slack and made a priest. Wanting the Strength domain, glanced through the list given to us and picked out Irori. Loved how the name was spelt so it could be inversed spelling the same.

There was no symbols at time, so I made one. Its a circle with an I down the middle with two Rs going each direction off the I and connecting with the outer circle. One thing others liked about my symbol is the Rs facing in each direction made it look like the old perfection sketch, with the human in the center of the circle. Unfortanetly I am unable to post the picture here (cannot insert it into this post nor set it up as my avatar). The Dark blue hand, palm out, inscribed inside a sky blue circle...kinda weak to me, since who smithes or carves something to look like that?

Also my priest "Jal" is arrogant because he is perfect (18 str/cha). He flaunts his perfection and usually intimidates anyone who stands in his way. Very fun character to play and looking to becoming a Divine Crusader.

Additional note to my character is he hates all outsiders and has Planar Banishment instead Turning Undead (Unearth Aracana p67). Its his belief that outsider planar involvment has caused ruin to this plane and he is on a crusade to stop it.
