Ulmar
Ulmar was a major god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with time, record, and historical continuity. In pre-Fall belief, Ulmar was understood not as a controller of time in a dramatic or supernatural sense, but as the force that ordered it—ensuring that events followed sequence, that causes preceded outcomes, and that history progressed rather than dissolving into chaos. Time under Ulmar was linear, cumulative, and binding; what occurred could not be undone, only carried forward.
Ulmar was closely linked to recordkeeping, lineage, and institutional memory. The preservation of names, dates, genealogies, treaties, and rulings was believed to fall under his domain. Pre-Fall doctrine held that societies endured only so long as their records endured, and Ulmar represented that endurance. To lose record was to lose legitimacy, identity, and continuity. As a result, scribes, archivists, and chroniclers were considered to operate under his implicit authority, even when functioning within secular institutions.
Unlike gods associated with fate or prophecy, Ulmar was not concerned with what might happen, but with what had happened and how it was preserved. He was invoked in matters of succession, inheritance, and historical adjudication, where the accuracy of the past determined the legitimacy of the present. Ulmar was depicted as impartial and indifferent to moral judgment; his concern was not justice or mercy, but accuracy and persistence. Events recorded under his domain were considered fixed, regardless of later interpretation.
All knowledge of Ulmar is completely absent from post-Fall Vey’Zari society. No surviving references, texts, inscriptions, oral traditions, or institutional remnants acknowledge his existence. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown to modern populations, and with its collapse, the conceptual framework that sustained Ulmar vanished entirely. His name holds no meaning in contemporary language, law, religion, or historical reconstruction.
As a result, Ulmar is not remembered, worshiped, debated, or reinterpreted in any form. There is no cult survival, symbolic inheritance, or degraded myth connected to him. To modern Vey’Zari, Ulmar is not a forgotten god but an entirely unknown one, recoverable only through speculative analysis of pre-Fall religious structure rather than through any living memory or cultural continuity.
