'''Thanhotep, the Sleeping God''', is the ancestral god of the Charonti in [[Jakandor]]. His name means ''Cycle of Beginnings and Ends''.

==History==
Originally the Charonti were pious people, with the worship of Thanhotep as the center of their religion, and from which the practice of preserving and animating the dead originated. However, the sudden plague that also destroyed their civilization killed the majority of the priest [[caste]], and caused much of the people to forsake his worship. In the present day Jakandor, the faith survives in the Outlands, though much of its original beliefs and practices have been forgotten. In cities, most consider it bad luck to say the gods name and instead use his title, though the occasional small cult to the god springs up from time to time.

==Worshippers==
As there is no one church and much knowledge of the faith has been lost, there are many ways to worship the Sleeping God. Farmers and guildsmen living in the civic centers follow a simple and superstitious variation of the faith, whilst the cults inhabiting the various ruined temples consider themselves the one true faith and the others [[heretic]]s. Some believe that the god has died and been reborn, and must still be worshipped, even though he doesn't remember who he was, whilst others say that he sleeps and must be awakened.

===Thanhotepics===
Thanhotepics are the [[cleric]]s of the Sleeping God, and are mainly found among the outcasts and farmers of the Charonti society, though occasionally a scholar becomes a cleric. Some of them believe themselves to be the last custodian of the true faith of Thanhotep, and surround themselves with their undead minions and fanatical worshippers, after excavating one of the ancient temples. Those that live in the civic centers hold private ceremonies in the homes of friends and are called upon by the more traditional Charonti during births, marriages, and deaths.

His speciality priests had the following traits in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons#AD&D 2nd Edition|2nd Edition]]:

::Major Spheres: Divination, Elemental, Necromantic, Protection
::Minor Spheres: All the others
::Benefits:
:::Can turn or control [[undead]] as if he were one level higher
:::''Speak with dead'' 1/day, with results as if he were two levels higher
:::''Cure light wounds'' can be used to heal corporeal undead, and scrolls written by Thanhotepics also heal any corporeal undead
::Hindrances:
:::Social stigma, most scholars scorn you for worshipping a god, whilst outcasts admire you
:::Cannot participate in anything that would interfere with advancing your faith and must strive to return people to the righteous path of the Thanhotepic faith
:::Cannot cast ''Raise dead'' on anyone whose constitution would fall under 10 from being raised, spell fails if attempted
