Baros

Baros, God of Absolution
Baros is most commonly seen as the god of forgiveness and redemption. Those who have wronged a fellow man will find themselves cursed with what may only appear to be bad luck, but is the will of Baros. Until Baros is appeased and believes you to have made up for your misdeeds, nothing will ever go well for you. Forgiveness for simple wrongdoings is often achieved through a short prayer, but more serious crimes often require more serious penance.

Executioner King
Another depiction of Baros often on desplay in gallows or prisons is a far colder interpretation. Most of it comes from a line in the old texts :

"Fear not fear inflicting death on those who have done wrong, if the punishment fits the crime, then blood paid in life will redeem them in death."

Invoked by families of executioners in order to remind themselves of their role as tools of justice.

The Penitent Whaler
Baros is also the god of oceans. This is usually considered a minor aspect of his domains, but sailors or others who rely on the ocean to be safe to travel will pray to Baros. This coastal depiction of Baros has far less to do with crime and punishment in a legal sense, and more superstitious. Those who break taboos die at sea, or so it's said, by the wrath of Baros.

The Penitent Whalers name comes from a story in which Baros took mortal form to help a sea captain Perdue the vengeance against a whale that took his leg. At the end of the story the captain finds himself regretful of having destroyed something beautiful and in that moment Baros comforts him. Telling him vengeance is a natural desire, and he should feel proud for what he accomplished, but now must seek atonement. the captain spent the rest of his days protecting the safety of the sea and all its creatures with the Whaler at his side. When the captain passed away of old age, Baros returned to heaven.

Whale Lord
Hobbits believe that Baros is one of the few gods who roams Andrasa in the flesh, taking the form of a giant whale with large sharp teeth. They believe he watches over a kingdom beneath the sea, and from there he can watch and judge all of Andrasa.
