ULU

Symbol: A gold heptagram within a red square within a blue circle.

Alignment: Neutral

Domains: All

History: ULU was the first god who created Sonver and, by destroying himself, gave life to the Four Gods who would later become the Seven Gods. After ULU's death, the god's name was invoked by the elves and, as a result, the elves were granted immortality.

Relationships: Creator of the gods Verexalar, Shalahu, Murudonua, and Lyasel

Appearance: Unknown, as there was no one to witness ULU when ULU existed

Herald, Emissaries & Servants:


 * Heirophant Feinriil



Church
The only worshippers of ULU are the elves, though even this has changed in recent centuries as more and more elves abandon the worship of the dead god as their lifespans grow shorter and shorter. Heirophant Feinriil acts as ULU's voice on Sonver, guiding the faithful to a deeper understanding of ULU's mysteries (as he understands them).

Worshippers & Clergy: ULUans, as they call themselves, seek not to worship the dead god but rather to celebrate and praise ULU for forging the world out of nothingness. ULUan clergy are dedicated to uncovering lost civilizations and long-forgotten knowledge in the hopes that, one day, this information will allow them to reclaim the immortality granted to them by ULU.

Notable Temples & Shrines: Once ULUan holy sites could be found in every major city on every continent but as the years passed and the dead god's worshippers grew fewer and fewer, many of these shrines have been abandoned or destroyed. With that said, every sizeable elven community will likely have a shrine or temple of ULU.


 * The Dome of the First: Located in the capitol of Maethel, the Dome is ULU's largest surviving temple and academy for magical arts both divine and arcane.


 * Shrine of the Gift: This Free Island shrine allegedly marks the exact spot where ULU created the Four Gods and simultaneously ceased to exist.


 * Temple of the Unheard Blessing: Located in the vast Zhouven desert, this temple is a home to monks who celebrate the unknowableness of ULU.

Texts: 


 * Musings on the First: This treatise, written by the first Heirophant and added to by each person to hold that title after, is a massive treatise on every aspect of worship, from daily meditations to the proper means of scholarly pursuit.


 * Unheard Blessing: A collection of stories and chants that seek to show how unattachment and nonjudgement is ULU's true gift to the world.
