Uleria<br />

Transcendent Goddess <strong>of</strong> Love<br />

Uleria is the goddess <strong>of</strong> Love in all its forms. Love is<br />

the invisible life force that binds people, communities<br />

and worlds together. Her power permeates all the worlds,<br />

physical, spiritual and magical. Uleria embodies this<br />

cosmic force and is worshipped by anyone wishing her<br />

blessings. She is one <strong>of</strong> the Ancient Powers who made up<br />

the Celestial Court and is the only one to have survived<br />

the Great Darkness.<br />

Uleria transcends the limitations <strong>of</strong> divinity, spirit and<br />

essence. However, it is as a goddess that she is most<br />

commonly worshipped. Many cultures find her power<br />

<strong>of</strong> unquestioning love disturbing and she is sometimes<br />

demonized for this. But those wishing her special<br />

blessings may care little. Uleria is depicted in many<br />

fashions across the world, but she is always shown as<br />

a beautiful, sexually mature woman. Her worship is<br />

widespread but rare, though some places particularly<br />

devoted to love boast minor or even major temples to her.<br />

Urox<br />

Berserker God, Chaos Foe<br />

Urox is the wildest <strong>of</strong> Orlanth’s truculent brothers, second<br />

only to the now-destroyed Vadrus in his fury. During the<br />

Storm Age, he and his sons wed the Earth Goddesses and<br />

protected their peoples. He fought on behalf <strong>of</strong> the Earth<br />

against his brothers Humakt and Vadrus. During the<br />

Gods War, his power was unmatched and his rampages<br />

laid waste to entire territories and kingdoms. He gored<br />

Lodril and slew his traitorous brother Ragnaglar (but<br />

not before that god begat Wakboth the Devil). During<br />

the Great Darkness, he fought Wakboth. He should have<br />

been destroyed but he stood firm and was aided by all<br />

the world. He slew Wakboth but died himself. In the<br />

Underworld, he and the other Dead Gods confronted the<br />

Devil and slew him once more, allowing Arachne Solara<br />

to bind Chaos in her web.<br />

Urox is the foe <strong>of</strong> Chaos, the last defender against the end<br />

<strong>of</strong> the world. For this, his brutal followers are tolerated<br />

among the Orlanthi. During the Gbaji Wars his followers<br />

distinguished themselves against the forces <strong>of</strong> Chaos,<br />

which they loathe above all other foes (and they loathe<br />

nearly everyone). However, most <strong>of</strong> his followers perished<br />

in the final struggles against the Deceiver. With Chaos in<br />

retreat, his worship has dwindled and is now the preserve<br />

<strong>of</strong> anti-social incorrigibles. His worshippers emulate him<br />

by defeating Chaos, getting drunk and making enemies.
