Chiron, God of War, Wine, and Punishment

Once an enemy of Atlantis for the events that lead to the signing of the Symphonia Atlantika, Chiron holds a unique place of distinction in the New Pantheon as the one who has the pleasure of punishing the souls of sinners who violate the core rules of New Atlantean society. The father of Centaurs, Chiron represents the original sin of Atlantis; the extermination of their first Centaur population. If a person is found to have committed one of the punishable sins then they are made a slave of the temple. This is magically enforced, and the sinner can only be released by earning atonement through service. If such atonement is earned then the magical collar that marks the individual as a slave will unlock and fall off on its own, though the brand that was placed on them will never fade. If the slave dies without earning their atonement then their soul is sent to Chiron in his realm of Tymoria for eternity. The only entity in the world who can save a soul from Chiron's judgement is Nephthys, who possesses the authority to excuse the sins of mortals for extenuating circumstances.
Chiron is also the god of war and wine, presiding over conflict as well as the celebrations held after. Chiron's temples often contain armories and barracks facilities for housing and training soldiers. Warriors trained at a temple to Chiron from a young age are often the most skilled champions in their unit. The creation of wine by clerics of Chiron is handled mostly by Satyrs; while the holy wine used in sacrifices to him must be prepared by Centaurs, who make their wine so strong it must be diluted to be consumed safely.
Worship of Chiron is very different among the Centaurs and Satyrs, who worship him alongside Cybele and Krotos as a trio of racial patrons. Such worship is never performed in temples, rather taking place in secluded places in the wilderness.
