Sakrantos sees the universe with a billion eyes, gazing out of every sun and watching the miracle of life unfold. As a powerful but impartial observer, many of his worshipers are devoted to concepts of justice and maintain that the stars are metaphors for the life-giving rule of law. He believes that when something is born, be it a star or a person, one cannot know wheter it´s mark on the future will be good or bad. But Sakrantos understands that either way, balance demands it. He is also supposed to be responsible for granting the select few who can channel the divine energies of Aru with their own hands. Thus, the individual must decide on its own how to best use their granted powers. Strange enough he is one of the few deities which have worshippers of paladins, clerics and evil-aligned clerics who favour these kind of views. Even anti-paladins respect Sakrantos. Sakrantos favours rebirth and balance. But false life, the unlife and undeath he loathe with all of his being. Things must either end or be reborn with reneved vigor.

There are few authorities for peace in the outer realms, but inquisitors of Sakrantos watch over entire star systems in order to prevent exploitation, violent conquest or rebirth of evil intent. Some orders of the inquisition on Middle-Earth, that scry and observe for misuse of magic, hail to the watcher. Sakrantos favours a fastpaced hunt to cut the head of the snake, ending any conflict or defilement with the burning power of the sun. Let them repent or be cleansed by fire. Good paladins and clerics of Sakrantos usually favor redeeming evil individuals, believing anyone is capable of rising from the ashes to reignite into the holy fire.

According to the pantheon lore, Sakrantos sat on the counsil of judges under Murnandihl and his judgement of the elves.
