Allitur (AH-lih-toor) is an old Power, representing the need to maintain traditions, laws, and ethical behaviors between tribes and generations of people. Often considered the younger brother of Rao, he maintains close ties with all his pantheons and often acts as a liaison to other powers because of his gift of divine diplomacy. He rides an untiring horse named Keph; his symbol is a pair of clasped hands.

The people should understand and respect their cultural traditions, else breakdown of society should result.

Allitur insists on the performance of traditional rituals. He is said to have introduced the concept of laws and punishment to the outer barbarian tribes that, and his name is invoked at trials, diplomatic meetings, and other official situations where fairness is expected from a bargaining partner.

Allitur's clerics arbitrate disputes, carry messages between tribes and nations, act as legal advisors or judges when needed, scribe laws and other documents for the common folk, travel to teach the proper traditions to children and heathens. They also have a martial aspect because of their roles as enactors of punishment for criminals, violators of taboos, and oathbreakers. Allitur's worshippers are expected to comply with clerics when they serve in this fashion. These roles carry them far into hostile lands where their belief comes into conflict with heretics and the uncivilized.
