Illimate

Illimate is the creator of all, the All Father of all the exusians and races for he was the first to come. He is a secretive deity but kind and forgiving to all who plea for his aid he will grant them something, however small, in return and though he is worshipped by those of all walks of life he preferred knights and musicians. During the first Divine war he stayed absent, not wanting to chose the side of any of his children and inadvertly encourage them, but he granted a number worshippers powers they did not previously have so that they might contribute how they wish.

## Description

Illimate rarely visits someone individually, his main form of communication is through prophetic dreams and omens. But when he does visit a person in an avatar form he is typically described as being a somewhat short chubby man in the later half of his life, handsome but aged and kind. With salt and pepper hair that falls down to the middle of his back in a wavy curtain and a decent sized, well kept beard. He'll wear a pair of short ruddy red trousers and strappy leather sandles, allowing his belly to be in full view. His other form is a young woman with soft features and pale skin, a length of black hair falling down well past her hips in a loose braid. She wears a loose white gown.

Some other forms of God Emperor Illimate include but are not limited to: an albino tiger with red eyes, a medium sized grey rat with massive buck teeth, a mountain quail.

## Personality

Being a vestige he is one of the most powerful exusians to exist at the current time, with all others as powerful as him dead or imprisoned there is not much of a comparital draw between the Almighty Creator and the exusians he oversees. Because of his vast power it is a popular myth that he was in fact the creator of our universe and the father of the exusians, hence his title of the All Father. He doesn't take up worshippers under his wing very often as in his eyes there are not many that deserve the power being an exusians holds or even the fraction of that power being a chosen follower entails. When he does choose worshippers he pays extra attention to them, is kind and guiding like a mentorly, parental figure to show them the way they are meant to go or he believes they are meant to go. He stayed out of the majority of conflicts, unconcerned if they were to destroy everything he had created as he could just make it again but better.

## Relationships

### Zafrielia

Illimate has always appeared to have an extremely intimate and protective relationship with Zafrielia that goes both ways, he has always stood by her side, even aiding her during the Age of Darkness and was the source of many vestiges that were created during the Cosmic War. Though he typically avoids interferring in the qualms of his lessers, he has a certain soft spot for Zafrielia that causes him to participate in, however small, a way.

### Aphistist

The Many-faced-god's relationship with the devil emperor Aphistist is the best example of the exusians ambiguity in comparison to other gods. Though there was a tension at first when the other exusian had attempted to kill Illimate's beloved Zafrielia the two grew close over the years after the Cosmic War, though he doesn't have the same tenderness with the Devil God, he shares a kinship, and often a bed, with him.

## Worshippers

Illimate has a lesser number of followers compared to that of other exusians but even still they hold a certain sway over the realm of Xaekla. Since he is overseer of all gods and hold weight in almost all domains he is worshipped by individuals from all walks of life from the valiant soldier to the peacekeeping artist but even through their different upbringings and way of being, they are able to put their differences aside, most of the time, in order to show their dedication to the God Emperor. His clerics wear robes of charcoal black and snow white with delicate ivory jewelry and adornments, many wear a thin fold of white cloth at the center of their collar to show balance and inner tranquility. The monochrome eclipse is the symbol of Illimate as is the albino tiger and mountain quail, and these symbols will be used throughout everyday life and rituals.

### Orders

**Peacekeepers**: most devote is the order, dedicated to the goals of Illimates peacely nature of one not bother others and letting things play out as they are meant to. If you are not directly involved it is not your place to make change, that is the belief of the order. The influence politics, attempting to keep prosperity and balance among the kingdoms of the Xaeklan realm, but as soon as something leads astray they disappear.

### Cults

**Blood of the God Emperor**: focused on the darker aspects of Illimate's portfolio, this cult is stationed in the Emberam Dynasty with their sole goal being to deliever souls to their god. Though they gain no powers the members of the cult remain hopelessly devoted to the God Emperor.

**Puppeteers**: an alliance of influential individuals across the realm of Xaekla, from the shadows they pull the strings of various empires with money and raw influence.

**His Quiet Will**: centered somewhere within the realm of Neraida, His Quiet Will is one of the more peaceful appearing cults, though they are unhealthily devoted, they promote peace, humility, and the acceptance of oneself.
