Pyara, God of Psychosis
At one time Ortasmos did not follow his own advice and partook of a little too much mind-altering substances during a party, and he was overtaken by a bad hallucinatory trip. During this, his psyche went into a crisis state. His hallucinations became real, and from them emerged an entity that is considered one of his five offspring.
Called Pyara, God of Psychosis, they are a being of pure chaos, paranoia, and anxiety. Their form and substance is a constantly changing mixture of the horrific and bizarre. They are attributed with many instances of mental illness and psychotic breaks on Aedelor, and offerings or rituals may take place to try to drive away Pyara from the mind.
The other gods in the upper planes were dismayed and appalled by the creation of this entity from Ortasmos' hallucinations. Pyara affected even the other gods with panic and anxiety, clinging to their psyches with frightening resolve. With great combined effort, Pyara was banished from the upper planes and now wanders the lower planes, unwelcome by all.
