	'''Ob''' {{Pronunciation\|OHB}}, the Void-Mouth, was the first of the gods and the creator of all that can be held. He is an entity of stone and dirt, of darkness and cold. He is unfathomably ancient, having existed before time, and singularly focused on his drive to lie in still repose. This he did forever before the emergence of [[Eraamn]], an insult he has not forgotten nor ever will. Ob fights the Solar Eye, the [[Seriil\|Lunar Mirror]], and the [[Nine Rivers of the Night]] ceaselessly now, seeking to return the world to the silence in which he created it.

	In proximity to Ob, all light, time, and sound ceases - only that created by the god ~~themself~~ can withstand his presence. He devours these intangible forces, wrapping themselves inside him until they disappear. Before the self-creation of Eraamn, none of these existed and the world was as Ob had made it, peaceful yet almost lifeless. He is not opposed to life itself, necessarily - some creatures, like worms, existed prior to Eraamn - but rather to the noise they bring and the light they require. These disturb him to such a degree that he attempts to consume them whole, naturally bringing him into conflict with Eraamn, Seriil, and the Nine Rivers of the Night.

	Followers of the [[Bohaar pantheon]] believe it is their duty to counteract Ob however they can, lighting ritual lanterns throughout their homes and cities and singing in choirs around their palaces and temples to stop his encroachment. Very few worship Ob himself, generally only those in secretive cults who hide beneath the soil and stone, surrounded only by the creations of their patron.

	'''Ubilai''' {{Pronunciation\|OOH-bih-lie}} is a god of lost causes, undeath, caves, and the dangers that lurk out of sight. He was originally a very different god, one of structure and order, but these aspects were taken from him along with his body when he was defeated by the other deities of the pantheon. Today Ubilai is a relatively minor god with only a small following. Still, he remains theologically important for providing [[Skohsla]] the motivation to destroy the world.

Today Ubilai is a relatively minor god with only a small following. Still, he remains theologically important for providing [[Skohsla]] the motivation to destroy the world.

	When his body was stolen from him and torn apart, it is said that Ubilai was forced to seek another mode of existence, in doing so creating undeath. Many of his followers are necromancers or undead creatures. Amongst both his followers and those opposed to the deity, necromancy is thought to require Ubilai's direct involvement - the fact that it remains possible to raise the dead shows that the god's influence on the mortal world, while reduced, still remains.

	Ubilai is also closely connected to caves and the underground world. As his flesh became the soil, delving below ground makes one more susceptible to being swayed towards the god. Many geographical features in the Talgazan landscape are associated with Ubilai, from [[Sentinel Peaks\|mountain ranges]] to lakes to the vast expanse of the northern tundra.

	Many of Ubellur's devotees work against each other, sometimes knowing of the other’s faith, often not. To their god, it is irrelevant if his followers fight amongst themselves.

	Ubellur's holy text is a ~~massive~~ tome called the ''[[Manuscript of the Veil]]''. Only fragments of this text are known to his followers. The rest was forgotten long ago, its only complete copy either destroyed or lost. Recovery of the ''Manuscript'' is a task some worshipers of Ubellur take to fervently, under the belief that it contains knowledge that will grant them great power and insight.

	Depictions of Ubellur vary across cultures, seen by different peoples in hundreds of different ways. Most commonly, however, he is depicted as a butterfly with torn wings, or sometimes an empty hooded cloak, held in shape with no visible occupant.

	Followers of Urusthe are generally looked upon with trepidation, but they are not outright ostracized as his devotees are seen as more dangerous to themselves than to others. They do not widely seek to cause direct harm to their surroundings or to those that do not worship their god, though at times their experiments and drive for knowledge at all costs result in unforeseen and sometimes disastrous consequences.

	Urusthe's holy text, the ''Manuscript of the Veil'', survives in its most complete form amongst his followers in the Elven pantheon. Most of the text was lost long ago by those that worship his interpretations in other pantheons. The esoteric and largely incomprehensible text is read and re-read fervently under the belief that it contains buried nuggets of wisdom, available to those that devote themselves enough to its study.
