Atnonut

Atnonut, also referred to as the Owl or Noblen, is the father-god of Atnonut's Universe. He rules over the Aether and thus has control over time, space, and reality.

History

Atnonut formed from the ancient magic that filled the early universe. Originally, Atnonut was omnipresent and omniscient without a form. As the only god, he had complete control over all aspects of the universe.   Sometime after his creation, Atnonut split his infinite knowledge and power into six forms, one being himself, thus splitting magic itself into six separate forms. Each one of the new gods created by Atnonut had complete control over their respective form of magic, but no control over the other forms. The form Atnonut gave himself was that of an owl with twelve, all-seeing eyes circling his head. The Eyes of Atnonut allow him to view the entirety of the universe at once.   He, along with the other gods, created Atnonut's Dimension, and within it, the Palace of the Gods, as their home. Together, they would later create the Eternal Fields. Atnonut spread his twelve eyes across the newly created dimension so he could view it. The locations of the Eyes of Atnonut can shift as if they have their own free will and thus the actual location of an eye at any point in time is unpredictable. They seem to gather in specific areas to view important events.

Atnonut is the collective being.
