Bondye (World of Darkness)

## Bondye

> God. The All. Most High. Unreachable.
>
>
> Bondye has existed since the beginning of everything, and They will be here long after everything else ends. They are an entity of immense space, and yet They contain no form.
>
>
> They have no gender, sex, race, or nationality, existing outside human parameters. Bondye recognizes none of the markers that separate people, seeing only each person’s true spirit.
> Bondye is unreachable. Even the most powerful gods are not capable of speaking to Them directly. Long ago, this isolation made Bondye very lonely, unable to speak to anyone.
>
>
> Bondye wished to fill the vastness of time and space with other things, and so Bondye separated themselves into three manifestations: Eledumare, Olorun, and Olofi. Eledumare is responsible for Creation, having made the universe and all the things inside of it, including the mortal concept of “time.” Olorun, associated with the life-giving energy of the sun, is the ruler of the heavens and the holder of Ashe, the life force (that is, Quintessence) that runs through all things. Olofi is the ruler of the Earth, and he forms the conduit between the Earth and the heavens. Bondye is both the three manifestations of themselves, and also a single entity unto itself. Bondye knows no limitations, and They may be whatever They choose to be.

> Bondye does not grant miracles or change fate, but rather is the vessel through which all things are possible. So long as Bondye exists, there’s a chance for the existence of life, of luck, of fate, for trees to grow and waters to flow. To give praise to Bondye, then, is to give praise to all deities, and to show gratitude for the existence of life itself. It is up to the gods — and by extension, the Loa — to make sure that Bondye is being worshipped. Without Bondye everything would cease to be: humans, life, consciousness, everything.
