=AGARES=:''Agares is depicted as a eyeless crocodile with avian characteristics such as feathers and a downy tail. He is also sometimes described as a hawk who's every feather is covered with writing of lost languages that supposedly detail horrifying secrets. During the Age of Mortality, mythos records Agares as being a cannibalistic old philosopher with leathery skin. He is the god of forbidden knowledge, but also the god of finding information whatever the cost. Many social heretics flock to him, many deviants and many outcasts. Although his dogma is not inherently evil, the selfishness in his teachings and the negative opinions of his followers cause him to lean towards evil over neutrality.'' His portfolio includes taboos, secrets, and heresy. His domains are Chaos, Fate, and Knowledge. Agares' favored weapon is the spiked chain.  ==Church of Agares==
The followers of Agares aren't always openly accepted enough to build churches around others. In their homeland, however, Churches dedicated to the God of Fearless Understanding are very abundant. Agares' worshipers are a strange sort, unlike worshipers to most other gods, they do not necessarily have anything in common, and many hate other worshipers for going "too far" with their taboo-seeking behavior. As such, there ends up being several churches in one area, where normally only one would suffice. This often causes small-scale civil wars to break out because of disagreements. Sadly, this ends up being yet another reason why most people distrust the Church of Agares.
