Tharos
Tharos was a major god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with war, command, and the organized application of force. In pre-Fall belief, Tharos was not a god of violence for its own sake, nor a symbol of chaos or bloodshed. His domain was structured conflict: armies rather than mobs, command rather than rage, and discipline rather than slaughter. War under Tharos was treated as an extension of order, governed by hierarchy, planning, and obedience.
Orthodox doctrine framed Tharos as the authority that made war legible. He governed ranks, chains of command, formations, logistics, and the lawful use of force. Victory was not attributed to ferocity or divine favoritism, but to correct command exercised within his domain. Soldiers fought under officers; officers answered to commanders; commanders answered to law. Tharos did not reward bravery or cruelty—he sanctioned coherence. An army that broke formation, ignored command, or devolved into uncontrolled violence was believed to fall outside his protection, regardless of numbers or strength.
Tharos was closely associated with generals, war councils, and standing forces rather than individual warriors. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized that personal heroics were unreliable and dangerous, while discipline preserved societies. War was considered a tool of governance and survival, not a moral contest. Tharos neither glorified nor condemned war; he regulated it. Peace was not his concern, but neither was endless conflict. War ended when command ended.
All knowledge of Tharos is entirely absent from post-Fall Vey’Zari society. No confirmed references, military rites, symbols, doctrines, or oral traditions survive that acknowledge his existence. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown to modern populations, and with its collapse, all structured understanding of Tharos disappeared. His name does not appear in contemporary military culture, syndicate doctrine, or reconstructed mythology.
As a result, Tharos is not remembered, worshiped, or reinterpreted in any form. There are no surviving cults, no degraded warrior myths, and no symbolic inheritance of his role. To modern Vey’Zari, Tharos is not a forgotten god but an entirely unknown one, his existence recoverable only through speculative reconstruction of pre-Fall religious structure rather than through any living tradition or awareness.
