Matoma

The Vacuum Maw (a.k.a. Orator Ancibul)

"The Vacuum Maw, Orator Ancibul, descendent of H'ket O'gul. Ancibul is well known in Keir homeland for Keir gluttonous appetite, an uneasy comfort that lets Kem feel satiation. It may be because Kie has something wrong with Keir digestive system, but no one seems to want to assist Kem. Maybe it's because Kie is, well, the Chosen for the Trial?"
---An entry from Ke'tlan's journal of Solarian Mythos

Divine Symbols & Sigils

The Stone Frog

An animalistic interpretation of Ancibul's species-- not Kie Kemselves--, this symbol's representation changes with the culture. Some say it is similar to Genbu, so it represents resilience. Others think it represents fertility, as frogs in Typhon's Teeth and beyond reproduce fast. The open mouth may also signify Keir unending hunger.

The Grinning Mask

No doubt a Human-born symbol of Ancibul, this usually-garish mask overemphasizes the mouth. Many see Kem as a Fool, so Kie are usually seen depicted as a Joker in 52-card decks or as The Fool in human Tarot. A more obscure meaning behind this mask is that Kie is putting on a performance, and may not be happy at all.

Tenets of Faith

  1. Keep up appearances: not everything needs to be worn on your sleeve.
  2. Do what gives you joy: no matter that joy's length, it is ultimately worth it.
  3. Tradition is important: you allow your culture to continue on by continuing on.
  4. Committment is scary: making the first step sometimes is good enough.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

To test humanity, is Ancibul's ultimate goal. How Kie goes about it is... by doing nothing. Of all the other deities, immortals, and chosen descendents, Kie is the only one that leads Keir people, and leaves it at that. It is unknown if this is done as per tradition, if Kie doesn't want to test neither Keir people nor humanity in general, or if an underlying health condition renders Kem incapable of acting within Keir own free will.

Like Jabari Obasi, Orator Ancibul is a descendent of a deified Hero of the Gods, chosen by Their Ancestor for an unspoken Trial of the Gods: a test that pushes the belief system of Their descendent to its extreme. In the case of Ancibul, Keir ancestor was the Architectural Savant, H'ket O'gul; the trials that H'ket has in store for Kem revolve around gaining Keir volition back and returning to the clan's roots of living in small, yet equal, societies.
