Asterius is the deity of travellers, merchants, thieves, gamblers, athletes, and elegant speakers. He appears as a middle-aged black-haired, corpulent man in ancient robes; in Milenian mythology he was pictured wearing a winged helm and sandals and carrying a caduceus. Asterius favours fair play, and while he values the wit and daring required to accomplish a difficult theft, he frowns upon those who would steal from anyone who cannot afford the loss. He urges his followers to be dependable and prompt, but he despises tediousness and smiles when something unexpected upsets the predictable. Asterius abhors idleness. If one cannot do anything useful, Asterius says, the proper thing to do is travel and have new experiences. His clerics seldom sit still. They are found in a wide variety of occupations, serving as diplomats, judges, translators, moneychangers, surveyors, and explorers. Wayside shrines to Asterius are common, but temples dedicated to Asterius are fairly rare.
