Orzu is the patron god of all things unreal or intangible. He is a member of the Yvana Pantheon and the king of the Unrealm.

## Origins

Orzu was born out of an affair between Yoru and Torid when the Earth was still young. Once Samudri found out about his mother's affair, he had Orzu thrown off of Osmoni Mountain, leaving him to be raised by Yoru in Golge. It was here that he was raised, contempt for those of Osmon growing as he aged. When he had become a full-grown god, Orzu, along with Yoru, rallied those outside of Osmon to overthrow the Skylord and take dominance over Earth for themselves, desiring the ability to construct it to their own desires. The desert god Yva saw potential in Orzu as a revolutionary and supported this effort, inviting him into her territory in Golge and encouraging him further. She made him her right hand and taught him what she knew.

## The First War and the Blinding Snow

Orzu aided Yva when she first collapsed the northern side of Osmon, beginning the First War. It is believed that either Orzu or Yoru drew the first blood.

During the first raid on Osmon, Orzu fought Samudri, his half-brother, fueled by jealousy. He and Samudri became sworn enemies from that moment on. However, eventually, Yva and her forces were defeated, causing Orzu to retreat despite almost besting Samudri.

After the first battle, Orzu mostly specialized in reconnaissance and stealth missions due to his abilities regarding illusions and flight. He was able to trick Samudri's blessed creatures, rays, to come with him and gain the ability of flight instead of swimming if they betrayed the ocean god. He gifted them what they desired, but bound them to follow his will for eternity and named them Phantoms.

During the raid on Toafa, Orzu used his Phantoms to transport the young goddess Vedana out of the battlefield, saving her life. He fought Samudri once again, determined not to be pulled away before he could kill his brother, but this led to him being negligent and not stopping Kiseu when he killed Yva. Seeing Yva's dead body then distracted Orzu enough to allow Samudri to begin drowning him, but Hayat's interruption of the war saved him from dying.

During the Blinding Snow, Orzu was cast away into a distant tundra. He used his ability of flight to reach Osmon before anyone else aside from Karalis and Cavatta. He apologized to the Skylord for his actions in the war and supped with him, but managed to trick Cavatta and steal an unused Key. He used this Key to escape from Osmon and open his own realm, the Unrealm. It was here he stayed for the remainder of the Blinding Snow.

## Appearance

Orzu is often depicted as a tall, thin, black Enderman-like creature with four arms and two legs, which are all connected by a thin membrane he uses to fly. His body has a similar sort of patterning to modern Phantoms, with dark blue stripes lining his sides and back and thinner white strips and spots decorating his spine and narrow tail. He has five green, glowing eyes, which mirror the various rune-like patterns carved into his flesh that glow the same color. It is believed that his skin feels and looks similar to that of a dolphin, though he is feathered in some rarer depictions. He is believed to be a shapeshifter, but his forms are usually dark colors.
