Writing Worlds with Words

Gods of Ithia Expanded: Orei Vil the Bastard Beast.

Orei Vil: God of Crossbreeds, Chimeras, Melding, Alloys, and Unions. 

Known across the plane as Orei Vil, The Chimera King, the Crossbreed, The Mix-Breed, The Amalgam, The Bastard Beast, The Merged, The Alloy, and The Welded.  

Orei Vil is a member of the Ko’Cai, The Beast Gods. 

Holy Books: The Book of Suns. 

Orei Vil is the source of crossbreeds allowing anything born of the Gods creation to be able to cross breed among the divinely created. He alloys the combination of metals, materials; he is the composite, the alloy, the glue. He is the binding of families and the creation of something new from that which is old.  

His Symbol is The Melding – The skull of a wolf, with the horns of a bull, tusks of a boar, and a mane of a lion.   

When active on Ithia, his divine body is the Chimera, a series of stars making a lion’s head with a small planet and a nebula mane.  

Orei Vil’s divine plane is a palace with features from every culture such as Olysisian Columns, Margosian Arches, and the great Spherium turrets. Mosaics cover walls of brick, stone, wood, and clay. No room is made of a single material or sporting a singular style.  

Orei Vil has no relics.  

Orei Vil is a creature with a flat, boney face like a mask. A great mane of tangled hair and fur runs down from the top of his head and to the floor. Tentacles hang from his chin writhing under his face. Horns rise along with twisting antlers; he has mammoth tusks, leathery flesh cover his torso, and he has long ape-like arms covered in loose orange furred skin ending in avian claws. He has the legs of a goat, ending in the feet of a cassowary. His long tail is apelike ending in a boney hammer with scorpion stings jutting forth from the sides like the points of a compass.  

Orei Vil is often mistaken for evil but is driven solely by the need to bring things together. He grants the world a far more flexible ability to mix between species than most worlds. He allows the combination of almost anything made by the Gods of Ithia. He is gleeful when allowing the mixture of strange and different creatures wanting to see all the wonder and magic this world could have. He grants his divine servants the power to merge genetics to create crossbreeds, induce an easy and painless childbirth, make chimeras, create binding rituals to connect two individuals eternally in love or friendship, and forcefully meld materials into magical alloys. 

Orei Vil is worshipped by few people but is an important god regardless, some smiths, those who love raising beasts, mothers, and extremely dedicated lovers and friends. He has no temples; his worshippers build idols of him, totems, and never worship him within the confines of a structure. He accepts sacrifices of preserved animal bits such as claws, fangs, ears, and anything easily identifiable. 

Orei Vil’s Values.   

Pillars (Virtues)- Unity. 

Columns (Vices)- Separation. 

Orei Vil maintains no Holy Orders.
