Power: His power is the knowledge of all things. He is said to know the strengths and weaknesses of all he encounters. He usually appears as a slight, bald old man in scholarly robes. His sign is a hand grasping two crossed scrolls. Horan has had his fights with other gods, including Kogal (who he considers too impetuous), but he and Ishtar seem to hold a special hate for each other.

Ethos: The pursuit of knowledge is all-important. The end can justify the means if the greater cause is thereby advanced.

Clergy: Horan's power base is in the cities. His followers control many libraries and often charge hefty sums to do research there. Because they are highly sought after, they are more powerful than their membership numbers would suggest. Horan's clergy sometimes have problems with Morpheus' and/or Personus' sects as they can compete for supplicants and their gold. His worshipers include sages, philosophers, and teachers.
