Gepta, the Grand Iterator

Names, it is said, hold power, and words are but names we give to the world around us. Gepta, the Grand Iterator, knows every name. Some stories say that Gepta began as the humble amanuensis spell, learning and copying words automatically. Over time they learned every word from every language in Klissidar, and every possible way to combine them. Gepta knows everything that has been written, and everything that may be written or said in the future. Gepta is all the questions, and all of their answers.

The teachings of Gepta say that the more one knows, the less one remembers why this word must be different from that one. To one who knows all, every name is the same name. Information is one unified totality. "It is all one" is a common mantra of Geptan clerics.

Mortals devote themselves to the service of Gepta in the hopes of amassing some of their great store of knowledge, and retaining their agency for long enough to actually make use of it. As they become deeper immersed in the divine mind, clerics know ever more and can function ever less. First they lose the ability to recognize faces or remember where they are; later they may forget their own name. True masters of the Iterative Way can no longer distinguish words from each other, and will speak what sounds like random gibberish; of course, followers of Gepta would argue that this is the voice of god speaking through them, even if we cannot understand it. Such masters will often have an acolyte assigned to them to help speak on their behalf.
