Ubibi

Order and Death

Ubibi is the Uvaran personification of order, death, darkness, preservation, stillness, silence, cold, and permanence. 
Ubibi is simultaneously a Goddess and a cosmic force in Uvaran religion, though she is not a Goddess in the sense that she is worshipped in any way. Deversain is no more worthy of worship than a blizzard or a plague; she is a fundamental force assigned a name and personality. She and her counterpart, Deversain, represent the foundational forces that created the universe but would just as easily destroy it. Deversain and Ubibi must be kept in balance for life to flourish. That is the core principle of the Uvaran worldview.
Ubibi is understood by philosophers, alchemists, and scholars to be one of two base essences that all matter and energy are shaped by and composed of. Cold, dark, and unyielding metals are all seen as highly infused with the essence of Ubibi - the essence of Order. Kobolds are immune to Ederstone radiation because their bodies are heavily Order-infused. All things are some ratio of Change and Order. It is said that people's souls are equally composed of a balanced ratio of Change and Order, and that society is similarly built from this balance. The elements of Earth and Water are seen as being composed of more Order than Change, and are seen as being more able to carry Ubibi's corruption as a result. That said, the elements are the domains of the primal life gods Vanoke and Varsha - things composed of the pure essence of Ubibi are infused by Chaos by the slightest exposure to light or sound. 
Ubibi in art is depicted in many ways, sometimes contradictory. Sometimes she is a jet black Kobold composed of pure darkness; sometimes she is a gaunt corpse-like woman with purple mummified flesh; sometimes she is a beautiful queen wearing an ice-white dress and carrying a scythe to harvest souls; sometimes she is just a skeleton wearing the regalia of an empress. Usually, a black star is used to mark Ubibi as artistic shorthand. 
Ubibi in mythology is often unambiguously evil. She is a kind of demon-god-monster, a threat that the Uvaran Pantheon must battle and outwit. She is death, paralysis, disease; she sent the Cursed Storms to destroy mankind and plants dark thoughts in the minds of mortals (such as the Kivish religion, Uvara's religious rival). Ubibi and Deversain killed Ustav and would destroy every person if they could. At the same time, Ubibi's moral relationship with the world is more complicated than her evil actions would imply. Without her, there would be no rest, no quiet, no stability at all. The coming of the Irunek and the triumph of the Gods will declaw subdue Ubibi and break her old over mortal lives, but it will not erase her.
Ubibi is not a being to be worshipped, but her fundamental contribution to the world is occasionally acknowledged in ceremonies. She has never been popular - even her counterpart Deversain has more historic ceremoinial respect than her. Mortals can be influenced by Ubibi to act in destructive ways, or so the stories say, but the overt worship of Death and Darkness is laughably irrational in Uvaran eyes.
