Kirxios is the Ithatian god of magic and the esoteric arts. He is sometimes associated with necromancy. He is analogous to Orkybanth among the Midretassenes, Luvas among the ancient Moigthe, Threwgga among the ancient Medibgösk, and Threy for the skyfaring Jaggudorners. He corresponds with Zulmani, the divinity made popular in the late Yophenthean Empire with his own fiery, mystery cult. Kirxios was historically highly esteemed among the wizards of Maturn and Ebinóë. The name Kirxionantis means devotee of Kirxios in the Ithatian Language and the derivative word, kirxionantine, means a student of wizardry or alchemy. He is the son of Manduo, the god of the underworld.

Kirxios was depicted in Ithatian myth as a middle-aged man with a shortly cropped, dark beard in a cloak of blue or purple. He played the role of a counselor to Heliops and the other Isxinthion Gods. In Ithatia, a temple dedicated to Kirxios is commonly called a Kirxionium.
