Kaelos

Kaelos was a major god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with kingship, authority, and the legitimization of rule. In the pre-Fall religious framework, Kaelos was not regarded as a ruler-god himself, but as the divine principle that made rulership valid. Authority was believed to originate through him rather than through conquest, inheritance, or popular support alone. Governance without his sanction was considered provisional at best and illegitimate at worst.
  Within orthodox belief, Kaelos governed succession, oaths of office, and the continuity of power. Pre-Fall rulers were understood to rule through Kaelos rather than over their people, and authority was framed as a responsibility imposed by divine order rather than a personal right. Ritual acknowledgment of Kaelos was believed to bind rulers to law, precedent, and obligation. Kings who violated established order were said to lose his favor, rendering their rule void regardless of military or political strength.
  No verifiable knowledge of Kaelos survives into the post-Fall era. There are no confirmed references, inscriptions, iconography, temples, or oral traditions preserved among modern Vey’Zari populations. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is entirely unknown in contemporary society, and with its disappearance, all formal memory of Kaelos vanished. His name does not appear in modern legal doctrine, political theory, religious practice, or reconstructed mythology.
  As a result, Kaelos is not remembered, reinterpreted, or repurposed in any post-Fall belief system. There are no surviving cults, no symbolic inheritance, and no acknowledged conceptual descendants of his role. To modern Vey’Zari, Kaelos is not a forgotten god but an entirely unknown one—his existence recoverable only through speculative reconstruction of pre-Fall religious structures rather than through any living tradition or historical continuity.
