Onos is the god of the elements, embassies, and extraplanar travel worshiped by the inhabitants of ancient Azlant. As a god of portals, Onos promotes planar travel as a means to experience and discover what other planes, and especially the planes of the Inner Sphere, have to offer.1

Appearance and emissaries

Onos behaves like an animated force without a distinct personality that always speaks directly and to the point, without symbolism.1

Relationships

In the late Age of Legend, Onos' faith started overlapping with that of Gozreh. It was believed that the church of Onos better understood and controlled the elements, especially those that are not concerned with air and water.2

Church of Onos

Onos has never been particularly widely worshipped on Golarion, even during the height of Azlant. Today, Onos is almost forgotten on Golarion but its worship is still popular in the Inner Planes.1

Worshipers and clergy

Priests of Onos are calm people, not quick to anger, and often serve as mediators.1

Temples and shrines

Many of the empire's outposts hosted temples and shrines to Onos. Its largest temples can be found in planar settlements like Medina Mudii'a, where they host extraplanar visitors.1
