Ompalam

God of Coercion and Slavery

[OHM-pah-lom]

  • Chaos pantheon
  • Doraddi pantheon

This deity is the corruption of the powers of the Center, where all should be balanced and harmonious but instead are used by Ompalam for self-gain and tyrannical exploitation. He is recognized in Pamaltela as the god of absolute rule, who teaches that slavery is the natural way of life and that each person owes his freedom to the man above him. The God-learners classed Ompalam as the “God of degenerative administration, of evil centralization.”

He is usually shown as an obscenely obese, hairless figure, sitting and holding innumerable chains in his hands.
