Peasant Knowledge of Odon
Folk wisdom advises fear for the god who controls life and death. While Odon’s faithful serve him in hopes of good health and longevity, those who dare defy him are robbed of life and forced to serve him beyond the grave.
Legends speak of an ancient nation that invoked Odon’s wrath and paid the ultimate price, it’s countless subjects all becoming eternal servants under the dark god’s command. Today, there is a widespread belief that all restless bones and deathless monstrosities serve Odon, repaying some past transgression against the dark god.
Scholar Knowledge of Odon
Defiant scholars understand that the god of eternal life is really the god of undeath. Odon is thought to be indifferent and distant towards the living, rarely speaking directly to mortals who ask for his blessings, but he will swiftly make his power known and punish those who disrespect him by destroying undead creatures under his service.
Contrary to popular belief, sages know that not all undead creatures obey Odon, yet very few deathless beings can resist Odon’s influence should the god of death desire to control them.
Unlike other warring gods, Odon is known to have a physical seat of power on the world of mortals: the fallen elven nation of Sumenshen, now turned into a vast necropolis that endlessly spews undead creatures to do Odon’s bidding.
Apocryphal and Forbidden Knowledge of Odon
Mortals who dared stand up against Odon and survived know that every creature that dies, be it friend or foe, can be made to join Odon’s deathless host unless given proper burial rites. The god of death actively seeks the remains of powerful creatures such as dragons and titanic giants to raise into undead monstrosities. Unless these reanimated horrors are truly vanquished and their remains destroyed completely, they will rise and obey Odon’s commands again and again.
Scholars who bravely seek out forbidden knowledge, as well as particularly long-lived elven and giant historians, speculate that Odon might once have been a mortal archpriest that betrayed the elven king who was supposed to serve and sacrificed the entire elven nation of Sumenshen to achieve godhood through a ritual of unimaginable evil.
