Imn

(a.k.a. The Hidden One, The Divine Blade, Lord of the Unknown)

"We are never alone. We walk in his Shadow."
-Neferure the Shrouded One to a group of fledglings, 924 EX

Imn is the Bennuan god of darkness, shadows, hidden knowledge, and divine vengeance. He is generally depicted as a Bennuan male wearing a feathered mantle with its hood drawn to shadow his face, holding a pair of serket. Most Bennu, while respectful of the Hidden One, choose only to invoke his name when vowing to keep a secret, as if fearing to draw his ire. It is also common to ask for Imn's blessing when investigating a crime or when searching for a stolen object. Unlike many others in his pantheon, Imn does little to attract dedicated followers. He seems content with the handful of devoted worshippers who have sought him out by their own volition. His only temple can be found in Kydyras, and is highly recognizable by its polished black walls and permanent shroud of darkness.
