Leihk'obu is the Kyner god of fate and karma. Leihk'obu is symbolized by a diamond shape surrounding the eye of a crow, who are believed to be watchers and messengers for Leihk'obu.
Myth
Origin
In Kyner mythology, it is said that Leihk'obu was originally a devil, one operating under the Lord of Fate, Thaeth'ustolak. During the early years of the universe, the Lords of Veskul attempted to aid the primordials in their war against the divines. They believed that, if the primordials won, they would repay the Lords for their service. To that end, Thaeth'ustolak sent Leihk'obu to serve as a general for the primordials. Unbeknownst to his master, Leihk'obu would instead use his position to undermine the primordial war effort. When the forces under his command were decimated, he feigned surprise, arguing that the divine's new dragon army was simply too powerful.
When word of his failures reached the Lord of Fate, Thaeth'ustolak cast him out from the Nine Hells. Rather than try to find an excuse for his actions, Leihk'obu instead defended his actions, arguing that he was as true a servant of fate as any other, and that it was fate that preordained the defeat of the primordials. Thaeth'ustolak rejected his claims, and banished him to the plane of Limbo. Rather than languishing in the plane of endless stagnation, Leihk'obu was saved by the divines for his service to the natural order during their war with the primordials. They granted him domain over fate, believing him to be a better judge of it than any Lord of the Lower Planes.
The Gaze of a Crow
Due to the arid environment of Kyn, crows are a rare sight. There is often very little food for the crow, with what little there is often already claimed by the more well-adapted animals that live there. Yet, throughout the nation's history, there have always been reports of at least four crows appearing at major historical events. From coronations and depositions to royal births and executions, observers have noted a quartet of birds, their eyes glued on the event before them. The crows stand in silence, only making noise when they are about to leave, as if to announce their departure. The presence of the birds has led many in Kyn to attribute the birds to Leihk'obu, believing that it was his way of watching the world, ensuring that fate is still proceeding as it should.
