Divine Domain

Oma Desala is a godly being - not a god of the old pantheons, but one who, the teaching holds, was once mortal and rose to the divine through enlightenment. She holds that any who truly follow her teachings might in time become a godly being as she did.

Symbol

Roles

She is the spiritual guide of an order of monks hidden deep in the Boundless Jungle. Her instruction is given in riddles - “if you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.”

Worshippers & Cults

The jungle monks who keep her teachings. When the archaeologist Corian Ballard lay dying in the jungle in 1533, it was Oma Desala’s monks who took him in and healed him.

History

Related Myths

When the monks’ shrine was attacked, the monk tending Corian dissolved into a ball of light that drove the beasts away, healed his wounds, and - somehow - cured his nearsightedness besides.
