Legend of the Nine Gods (Item)

Pieces of a greater story that were found scattered throughout Omu in inscriptions.

Found so far:


 * Long ago, the god Ubtao hardened his heart and vowed to weep for the people of Omu no longer. The rains stopped, the jungle withered and died, and death swept through Omu. One morning, a wise zorbo emerged from her hollow tree and spoke to the dying Omuans. To convince Ubtao of their worth, she decided to cook him a stew made from all their good qualities. Catching such virtues wouldn’t be easy, so she asked a wily almiraj to help her. The almiraj snuck recklessness in the pot, which she saw as a virtue, and Ubtao spat out the stew when he tasted it. From that day on, Obo’laka the zorbo and I’jin the almiraj became terrible enemies.
 * That night, a su-monster broke into Ubtao’s palace and stole a pail of water for the Omuans. When the god came running to find it, the su-monster hid the pail in a jakuli’s burrow. Ubtao asked the jungle animals where his water was hidden, and Moa the jakuli was too honest to lie. When Wongo the su-monster found out how Moa had betrayed him, he vowed to catch the jakuli and eat him up.
