LE god of secrets. He has cults all over the Uzarra underground that use deception and doublespeak to operate.
OriginEdit
When Uzarra was created by Lord Itsetsaan, He realized that for life and culture to properly flourish, there would need to be a variety of figures the Uzarrans would see as deities. Itsetsaan then created the Exalted Triad: Aurinko, Rieyou, and Gwyyndaluce, from the very fabric of Koti. To bring balance to Uzarra, He also created the Atrocious Three: Salaisuus, Azkuul-tonne, and Viha. These beings were confined to Koti by Itsestaan, and they have been warring on Koti since their creation with the help of their most devout followers.
DescriptionEdit
Salisuus projects himself to his followers as a swirling black void. His edges are amorphous and he speaks with a subtle baritone.
The few who have encountered him on Koti and returned to Uzarra describe his appearance as plain for an old man. He walks with a limp and most of his physique is hidden by a dark billowing robe. His robe hood hides his face, and nobody has ever recalled him removing it.
DogmaEdit
"Direct action is not always the best way. It is a far greater victory to make another see through your eyes than to close theirs forever." - T'rava, a high priestess of Salaisuus
The followers of Salaisuus do so in secret, as he is not in favor amongst the general population of Uzarra. They obtain what secrets they can and use them for personal benefit, and many are not afraid to get their hands dirty if necessary. Seduction, betrayal, and murder are all utilized by Salaisuus's followers to further their goals.
"To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best." - Parnekti, Ascended Orator of Salaisuus, about the Atrocious Three
Clergy and TemplesEdit
The cults of Salaisuus rarely deal in the open. Temples in the literal sense do not exist, but there are unhallowed places where his followers gather in the Uzarra underground. Salaisuus is more openly worshiped in the Bane Mires, where individual villages must use every advantage available to survive the harsh terrain. His followers never speak his name in public.
"You were deafened. At last, you could hear."
"You were broken. At last, you were whole."
"You were blinded. And at last... you saw."
"You have fallen. And now, you shall rise."
-Initiation chant of Salaisuus
PantheonEdit
Salaisuus is part of the Atrocious Three, the evil gods of the Uzarran Starlords.
