Unammon, the Chariot

Unammon in Karel

Worship of Unammon has spread from the Aetherial Expanse to the saltwater oceans that border Karel’s coastline on the Material Plane. Karelagne sailors of all stripes are united by a certain reverence for the playful whale of the skies. Whenever a storm thrums upon the horizon, Karelagne ships fire off a volley, in the hopes of alerting kindly Unammon to their presence and causing her storms to blow elsewhere.

Unammon in Ayris

Though Ayrissian sailors adore Unammon, the Ayrissian crown and parliament fear her. At home, revolutionaries calling themselves the Winds of Change have taken the Chariot of the Winds as their icon, and push for an end to the Ayrissian monarchy.

Unammon Among the Drakes

Rare is the pirate with an ill word to say of Unammon. However, rumors abound that Unammon’s bones still soar beneath the aether in a perverse mockery of her playful behavior in ancient times. This legend tells that an ancient demon lives within the whale’s rib cage, burning with deathly malevolence where the god’s kind heart once was.

It’s said a whale of titanic size once sailed through the skies of the Astral Plane, buoyed by the winds of the Elemental Plane of Air. The Chariot of the Winds spoke for the air to rise wherever she wished to go, and the planes themselves heeded her command. The astral titans say they once followed in Unammon’s jet streams in flying craft to quickly traverse the Expanse from high above the aether’s surface. Legend says the peaceful Unammon came into accidental conflict with Asteth, and the Empress of Flames smote her down with a meteor from the heavens. Unammon crashed into the aether, burning with Asteth’s fire, and perished beneath the waves, where she was devoured by the hermit-god Qoz. Yet, her unbreakable spirit lived on within the air itself, sustaining all the permanent portals of air that blow across the Expanse, and playfully birthing the portals that seemingly open and shut without cause. All superstitious sailors venerate Unammon—and all sailors are superstitious to some degree. Upon the sea, calm winds are life, and stormy weather is all but certain death.

Unammon is depicted as a snow-white beluga whale, sometimes covered with countless tiny, feathered wings and trailing a tail of mist behind her. Clerics of Unammon typically wield the domains of Life, Nature, Peace, Tempest, or Trickery.
