Umon

In the Taznikanze religion of Aesimond, Umon is the God of Creation. The Taznikanze believed the universe made a lot more sense if the creator was totally insane. "He" is a misnomer, as Umon is said to embody both male and female aspects. (In Taznikanze, Umon is gender-neutral "das", a linguistic convention not supported in Common.) In his capacity as god of creation he is also associated with fire, used for toolmaking. Although all the gods are able to assume different forms, Umon is totally protean, lacking a defined shape.

There are no priests to Umon, as creation seems to be flourishing just fine, and since he's completely loony, it wouldn't help anyway. Umon does whatever, and it defies any logic or sense.

According the legends, Umon never stops creating new worlds. He is a wild, primal, and untameable force of creation.

Umon is represented by the phallus, a symbol of his potent fertility.

Some have speculated a link between Umon and UL, but of course everything is speculative. Of the three main gods of Aesimond, Umon is by far the most mysterious; the God of Creation is fundamentally indecipherable by any mortal mind.

When confronted with something deeply illogical or defying any sense, Taznikanze might respond with "Umon only knows" or "Blame Umon." Umon is the only Taznikanze diety one can safely openly blame for things; he is totally ignorant of mortal affairs, and even deals with Zahd and Heldrasil only on very rare occassions.
