Zhok

Suhdh

the Infinitely-Eyed god

The two moons, the sun, and the planet itself are the four eyes of the god Zhok. It is slowly growing and opening more eyes and when the final eye opens the world will explode into infinitely many pieces, becoming infinitely many worlds. The religion that worships it is called the Infinite Eyes of Zhok.

Divine Domains

Zhok's fourth eye is the world of Mutania, two other eyes are the two moons, and the first eye is the sun, and thus everything is in its domain. It is associated primarily with growing things and opening things, like flowers and doors.
The three elements recognized by believers are all controlled by other divine powers. The one element that exists outside of Zhok's control is air, owned by Zhiys.
Zhok is also the ruler of math. Multiplication and division are central to its existence, and scholars of Zhok developed a math system that included infinitesimals and the trapezoidal rule.

Artifacts

After the Thîb Hihinkuh died, it was decided to preserve the body to use as proof of its existence. The taxidermied body is kept in its original home and can be seen by anyone who asks. Doubters are often eager to see the real proof, and some suggest that even the body is faked, but many are rightfully convinced when they witness the Thîb Hihinkuh for themselves.

Holy Books & Codes

Codex of Eyes began with the Thîb Hihinkuh, who telepathically told its parents about the future of Zhok and who wrote it down. This initial text was copied diligently by its family and then distributed to local communities. To the surprise of the family, some people wrote back. Some wrote of their own visions and dreams about the prophesized future, but others wrote back poking holes in the cosmology and doubted the existence of the child. These back-and-forths with apologists became foundational texts that expanded into the full Codex.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

The open eye is Zhok's symbol. Usually this is represented with two concentric circles, but more elegantly it is four clustered circles with concentric circles in all four, with one having many rings. Community leaders will carve eyes into their tusks, if they have any, or else will dye their fur or tattoo their skin to bear Zhok's symbol.

Holidays

At the beginning of the year, a festival is held to celebrate the opening of a brand new eye, the eye of the year. Festivities include group dances and communal feasts.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Every day, minute by minute, the eye is growing new eyes that are opening slowly. These eyes may not be visible to people, but can be seen in the opening up of blooming flowers or in the opening of doors. These eyes are numerous and growing, and when there are open eyes everywhere, the fourth eye will burst into an infinite number of pieces, each creating new worlds and multiplying Zhok's existence.
