The Tretheon is the religious worship of a theistic triad by the people of Effluvia.

The Three Gods[]

Karthax is the god of war. He is depicted as wearing red armor and wields a jade cudgel that he uses to beat out sin. He is popularly worshiped by soldiers.

Bethesis is the goddess of mercy. She appears as a compassionate woman who comforts the afflicted. Popular with the lower castes of society and pacifists.

Shirion is the goddess of balance. She balances the impulses of war and peace to create a harmonious and constructive society. Venerated by elitists and those with power.

Practice[]

While the Tretheon is the keystone in the foundation of Effluvian culture, it is not as commonly practiced as it once was. The Controllers, on principal, do not allow its members to espouse philosophy or to act according to their religious beliefs and it is suggested they actually discourage religion altogether. One exception to this general rule is Sophia Maxwell who has an altar to the goddess Shirion.

Conception[]

The Tretheon or Triad and the "gods" comprising it are the original creation of BG-57, a friend of the author.
