OME

Represents the great white moon, fatherhood, endurance, courage and selfless protection

Ome, also known as "The Moon Father" or simply "The White Knight", is depicted as a heroic moon Numen, adorning immaculate white plate armour and garbs, trimmed with a metalic, shining gold. He is most notible for fighting eternally against The Watching Wolf, leading his army of White Spectres in The Endless War to ensure Entrellia is not one day invaded and overrun by the release of countless undead.

Ome is spoken of by many as a valiant, humble and noble fighter, pledging his immortal service to the living in order to protect them from evil. Many aspire to be like Ome, idolising him and holding him in the highest of regard. He holds favour over those who uphold his ethos and ideals, such as heorism, bravery, courage and beneficence. However, humbleness should always play a role in the approach of these virtues.

Cosmically, Ome is the largest of two moons. His wife, Mirus, is the smaller and bluer moon of the pair and circles Ome during the night. Ome glows a bright white and does not have his own moon cycles, always appearing full and cirular with little to no blemishing.

While slaying undead on foot, Ome is depicted wielding a white longsword named Cleanse. Along with a perfectly rounded white shield that encases a small, left sided golden circle. Mounted, Ome wields a piercing lance, which sheds a radiant gold during the stallion's charge. The Numen has never been sighted unequipped and without his armour.

HISTORY

Though not the first official Numen, Ome was the most present and active after his emergence from The Illumination Plane to rise against The Watching Wolf. He communicated, explored and progressed from his surroundings, setting an example that many other Numen after him have replicated and followed.

BELIEFS

Those that truly follow Ome are considered good people and seek ways in which they can better the lives and world around them. Devotion to Ome requires not just a repentance against the wrongdoing of oneself and others but to take action in correcting the evils before them. This is not to be done brutally but with humble eyes, guidance, diligence and forgiveness. Never passiveness or laziness. In Ome's light, he values those who wish to lead, but never casts a shadow over or belittles those who are not strong enough and can only follow.

A healthy family is also very important, both physically and bonded. A father is a sons friend. A mother a daughters confidant. Trust must be ensured and taught.

HOLY SYMBOLS

A holy symbol of Ome is most distinctly recognised as a perfectly round, white hollow ring. Most commonly, followers will wear a smooth and glossy white band around their index finger on the domminant hand of which they wield their weapon. This white band is sometimes integrated into a gauntlets finger piece for visibility. Others may loop a silver chain through a white ring and don it over their breastplate as a necklace.

Alters dedicated to Ome are usually simplistic in nature. A hollowed ring will be atop a raised pedistal no larger than a few feet wide. The ring itself made from marble, orthoclase or another white stone. If not a ring, then a steel armet full helm with a cemented visor will be placed atop a raised pedistal, perhaps with a longsword, shield or more armour pieces.

PRACTICES

Rituals for Ome are few and far between. Many believe the humbleness of Ome is too great for him to wish for celebration over devotion or service to him.

FOLLOWERS AND WORSHIPERS

The Moonlit are a Holy Order established for those that wish to devote their bodies as warriors and slayers of the undead. They believe Ome is the embodiment of heroism and defines what it means to be a true knight and paladin. In some cases Ome, being a hollow suit of armour is left open for worshippers to see themselves in that suit. They are Ome. They become the hero they are meant to be in order to defend against The Watching Wolf.

Those less extreme can be found stretching most of Entrellia, as Ome is by far the most popular single Numen to worship, due to his simple, good nature.

MYTHS, FOLKLORE AND SONGS

Ome is said to have never removed his helm or doffed his armour and to depict him without either is disrespectful to the Numen. Some believe Ome is the hollow armour itself. Others speculate Ome is a Celesital Soul of every noble father who lived a pure and selfless life. In Oharrian folklore, Ome is said to be an Oharrian, though this is widely disputed in most other cultures.

There is a myth that male children of Ome or Yugen exist in Entrellia and live as mortal men. The rumour speaks of men born with a faint white streak around their pupils, or a white banded ring that circles within their iris,

'A Starless Night' is a saddening song in which the lyrics portray the start of the 7th Creation, where Ome falls and The Watching Wolf wins. Souls of past lovers and friends descend, to steal one last kiss from soft lips again.

CHAMPIONS

While Ome commanded armies in The Endless War, his son, Yugen, was in fact the first ever being to be elevated as a Champion. Thereafter, Yugen was also the first Champion to earn Ascension.

For a time, Ome also enlisted the sworn sword of Ellemere, who was considered his Champion, later Ascending to Numenhood in a similar fashion to Yugen.

WHITE SPECTRES

As Ome's Champions, White Spectres are eternal beings of light that fight against the undead souls during The Endless War. It is said that Ome created these Spectres with great guilt, as their purpose was singleminded and selfish. Soon after their creation, Ome allowed the waring spectres a choice, mortality, life on Entrellia, unshackled by his demands, will and duty to defend against The Watching Wolf, or remain as an eternal warrior at his side on the desolate fields of The Everhalls. Those that chose to remain still fight to this day, while those that laid down their immortality for a chance at life became Celestians.
