Achio
From Zok
Lord Achio is the child of Dezzik and Tyani, a result of the rape of his mother. He is the patron deity of flowers, lust, and seduction. Achio has rejected both of his parents and now dwells in Pnugul as part of Vornik's court, where he spends most of his time engaged in various hedonistic pursuits when he's not plotting to foil Lady Anata's goals.

Dogma
Achio exhorts his followers to do want they want, or better yet to trick someone else into doing it for them. Like his brother Aki, Achio enjoys lies and deceit, but unlike his brother he views them as more of an art form than as means to an end. While he doesn't ask anything all that specific of his worshippers, he encourages them to help others find enjoyment in deceit. In his incarnation as the Glass Orchid, Achio encourages political intrigues, assassinations, and the slow accumulation of wealth (to be squandered on physical pleasure, of course). In his other Aspect, the Sweetest Fragrance, he focuses on more personal manipulations, encouraging seduction, drug peddling, and various subtle temptations of the innocent.
