Omm



OMM The Unspeakable ''You pause in mid-boast, barbarian. Could it be the spectacle of our previous offerings, both those who have already served, and those who patiently wait to serve? Or is it, perhaps, the sight of the Spider-God himself, far too huge, too magnificent to be contained in any tower? I give you Omm, the Unspeakable!"-Roy Thomas, Web of the Spider-God''

Without fail the daunting temples of Omm the Unspeakable always hold a giant spider of massive proportions as proof of the existence of their god. The high priest of Shadizar went even further, summoning a demon that took the form of a spider. The demon seems to have no complaints about its situation, relishing in the free souls and blood given to it in offering.

Omm was once in web-latticed city of Yezud, but the city beside the black mountain has been destroyed.

The Priesthood
Grim priests and foul sorcerers are abundant in Zamora, all practicing diabolisms such as murderous rites of human sacrifice, wicked acts of soothsaying and foul divination through ghostly contact with spirits and demons. Many Zamorian priests are eligible to marry into noble families, thus raising their own rank considerably. For specific information on a deity's priesthood, see the god themselves.

His high priests, on ceremonial occasions, dress in black, hooded robes, vestments and a belt of black beads holds his dark sacrificial dagger. The priests of Omm focus their skills in intimidation and do not care that the population fears Omm.
