Oelim

Oelim the Fatebringer is a fatherly deity representing elements of the world such as order and law, but also death. This focus and reliance on law and organisation is highlighted by the fact that his marriage to the Allmother is one of the only such ones in the Pantheon. Used by some to excuse tyrannical laws and suppression of peoples, his true followers recognize the benevolence in his fatherly guidance and lawful nature.

For his role in transporting the deceased into the afterlife, he is most often referred to as the ' Fatebringer ' but is also colloquially called the 'Father '.

Core Beliefs
Oelim believes that life must be balanced with death and that one can not exist without the other; that death is natural and necessary for the order of the universe. For this very reason he opposes all necromancy involving bringing the dead back to life. He is also convinced that laws are necessary in society and nature to maintain the proper stability and order. Violence is only a means to achieve greater unity and order, but never to propel entropy or chaos.

Ruler of Bytopia
Oelim is the ruler and creator of Bytopia. The Twin Paradises consists of two layers that are similar yet opposite; one is a tamed, pastoral landscape and the other an untamed wilderness, yet both reflect the plane's goodness and its acceptance of law and order when necessary. It is the heaven of productive work.

Placement in the Pantheon
The Fatebringer is empirically bound to Zoi and they have united their efforts to create the Gods of stability and nature; Horthina 'the South', Alanus 'the North', Urthon, Osmona 'Tidedaughter', Illorson 'the Mountainlord', Aspan 'Great Sky' and Osmon 'Stormson'.

He is the first Greater Deity created by Tanus in the earliest times of the multiverse.

Followers
Whilst unpopular in some societies for his connection to the dead, he is considered to be one of the benevolent gods and is the central figure of the Vurolingian church. His followers can be found throughout the continent, but particularly within the heartland of the Empire.

Symbol
Worshipers of Oelim carry a six-sided black die with each face showing a one. When able, these icons are decorated with rare metals such as platinum or even gemstones. The meaning of this symbol is often disputed, but most commonly explained as symbolizing fate and the balance between death and life. Since all sides are the same, there is no luck or chance, but only fate and an absolute truth. There is no chaos, but only order and law.
