Dhûm
god of earth
Beloved by Zhok, Dhûm is the god of solid things, including the earth as the one solid eye of Zhok. Zhok loves Dhûm and the Kugma Mountains are Dhûm's body resting on Zhok's flesh.Divine Domains
The earth, ground, and matter in a solid state are in the domain of Dhûm. The manifestation of eir bulk and solidity are the Kugma mountains themselves, as they are Dhûm's body after ey finished creating the solid ground necessary for life. Lizh created the sense of forward movement that allows growth, but Dhûm lays the foundation.
Ey is also a god of rest. After eir work building the solid ground and the seeds of living peoples, ey asked Zhok for rest and was granted it, for Dhûm was beloved by Zhok.
Holy Books & Codes
Dhûm was the first of the minor gods revealed to the people. According to the Codex of Eyes, several people all reported dreams of the resting eyes of the mountains closing over and over. These dreams were congregated and compared against each other and it became clear that the dreams referenced each other. The name Dhûm was arrived upon by a conversation within a body family that dreamt the vision and was adopted for use in the Codex.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Dhûm's symbol is the closed eye, represented by a single parabola, or flattened U shape.
Holidays
The first blizzard or winter storm of the year is celebrated with communal bonfires, as it is believed that the snow piles on top of the mountains at their highest before the wind has had time to swept it away.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Eir first goal was to create the foundation for living beings to live in the world that Zhok created with its eyes. When that goal was completed, eir goal was to rest forever while keeping the bodies of the living beings close at hand.
