Auth is the god of justified aggression, righteous valor, and matronly wisdom. Followers of Auth go into battle only when prepared for complete and total victory - the most righteous and pious followers claim to have never been defeated. Worship in the Sultanate of the House of Litsë-Linya-Gundu is enforced at the governmental level - while you may offer praise and thanks to other gods, all citizens of the Sultanate must also offer these things to their matron.

Auth has a long standing rivalry with Sanzir over the Metal domain - it has passed between them every decade or so.

She is well regarded for her extraordinary looks: her curves, radiant black hair, translucent skin. Those who look further than skin deep see her flexibility and strength - as she never appears outside of her leather battle armor. Those artists who attempt to depict her in any other way find their hands straying back, and she is possibly the least salaciously depicted of any gods even in heretical art.

Her worship requires a series of praises sung every two hours, from sun up to sun down. Priestesses lead from atop the highest point they can find in the local area. The bureaucracy of her church is almost collapsing under the weight of paperwork required to move ahead in ranking and standing - so that only the wisest and most capable are chosen.
