And there came from Their thought the first of all seas, filled with dark and cold, blacker than night; and from it, and of it, there emerged the first child of the Two Highest, with night in His eyes. He they named Uvuun, the Hungry One, for He was born of Their hunger for new things; and they said to Him, "You shall lie beneath all else that comes after as a foundation. All shall rise from Your depths in the Beginning, and seem to escape You; but they shall return to You in the End."

-Titled Dark-Eyes, **Uvuun** - sometimes known as the Hungry One or the Lord of the Depths - is the [[culture:mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:|god]] of the uttermost depths of the sea. He concerns himself not with the waves and the winds and the passage of ships; but far down, where the light of [[universe:Mikurmiya:]] fails and all is night, where the water squeezes all who enter in its cold, tight embrace and does not let go, where the long slow currents of the ages pass without regard to the quickness of time far above, is the realm that is His.

-Out of all the gods, only [[culture:mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:seluurin|the]] [[culture:mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:khezri|Diarchs]] do not fear Him, for only they are older and more powerful than He. As all things upon [[Avishraa:]] came from His primal depths, so too do all things return to them, sooner or later, including the bodies and - if they have been judged unworthy - the souls of the dead. Rare indeed are those privileged to have returned from that realm in their lives, and those that do are seen as fortunate beyond measure.

 In most of the [[takma:]] world, it is held that the only sacrifices He accepts are those that take their own lives to deliver to Him... and while this may bring them comfort in their last moments, it brings them no salvation. That said, there are exceptions: it is relatively common among Abethine crews to sacrifice animals to Him for the safe passage of ships.
