Kol Korran
Kol Korran, jolly Sovereign of World and Wealth, it has come to my attention that your faithful keep finding me with astonishing accuracy If you are taking requests, I would like every ledger with my name in it to catch fire...in a non fatal way.
Kol Korran is the Sovereign of World and Wealth, patron of traders, merchants, and travelers, the one you thank when the road is passable and the deal is fair. He guards those who move through the world and guides those who make their living by exchange. He is commerce at its best: negotiation, compromise, mutual benefit, and the quiet miracle of two people agreeing on what something is worth.
He also has a shadow side that draws in rogues and thieves, and this is where the Host starts clearing its throat and looking pointedly at the Keeper. Kol Korran is the god of profit with rules. Those who want profit without rules usually drift toward darker patrons.
What Kol Korran Represents
Kol Korran represents trade as a civilizing force. He is the bridge between strangers, the coin that changes hands without blood, the contract that prevents a fight. His domain is not greed for its own sake. It is fair negotiation and the idea that prosperity can be built without taking a knife to your neighbor.
Clerics sometimes lean toward the Trickery domain, which makes sense if you think of Kol Korran as the patron of cleverness at the bargaining table. But his ideal is not deception. It is leverage, wit, and the art of walking away with everyone believing they did well.
Worshipers and Everyday Devotion
Merchants, caravan masters, sailors, and anyone who lives by the road or the marketplace are quick to honor Kol Korran. A whispered prayer before crossing a border. A token left at a roadside shrine. A small offering when the ship returns with cargo intact.
Rogues and thieves may invoke him too, usually by emphasizing his darker aspects and pretending the line between clever trade and larceny is purely a matter of perspective. Most respectable Vassals disagree, loudly, and then quietly count their change to make sure it is all still there.
Divine Family and Place in the Host
Kol Korran is said to be the son of Olladra and Onatar, which makes an annoying amount of sense. From Olladra he inherits luck and risk. From Onatar he inherits industry and creation. Put them together and you get commerce, the craft of turning work and chance into wealth.
He is also described as the only second generation member of the Sovereign Host, a detail theologians love because it makes tidy symbolic sense. You cannot have trade until you have the foundations of civilization: homes, laws, food, craft, and community. Only then does commerce truly matter.
Personality and Myths
Kol Korran is loyal to the Host, but he is also famously prone to scheming and plotting to enrich himself, sometimes at the expense of other Sovereigns. Some stories treat this as playful rivalry and the harmless games of a clever god. Other stories paint it as a warning: even “good” wealth can become selfishness if you stop watching it.
The common moral is simple. Kol Korran is the patron of prosperity, not an excuse to become the kind of person who would make the Keeper proud.
Iconography and Forms
Kol Korran is often depicted as a cheerful, portly human or dwarf, warm faced and well fed, the sort of figure you would trust to buy the first round and then talk you into investing in his cousin’s shipping venture.
More rarely, he appears as a white dragon sprawled atop a hoard of ice blue gems, because sometimes artists want to say “wealth” in a way that does not require subtlety. His symbols tend to include coins, scales, ledgers, caravans, and roads stretching toward distant horizons.
