God. Game. Good.
Name: Ulam
Physical Description: A kangaroo with elongated fangs and tribal paint covering nearly every part of the body. The paint regularly changes pattern and shape in an incomprehensible fashion; an outward display of Krem's godly mind. Will-o-wisps can be sometimes be faintly seen circling around Ulam's head, although those who are said to see them are either mad or blessed. His left leg is devoid of fur and under the ever-changing paint is the true name of Ulam in an unknown alphabet. The tip of his tail is grey in colour.
Spheres: Ulam is patron of Old Age and Illnesses. He encourages respect for the elders, as they have worked throughout their lives and have much wisdom to impart to the people. In return for the respect given to them, elders are to lead their families in righteous lives and advise the population on actions to take. As god of illness, he both produces, spreads and treats diseases. He controls both physical and mental varieties. Ulam sees illness as a 'test' to all living things, a handicap to prove their worth. In permanent examples, such as schizophrenia, the test is more on society's altruism and compassion rather than that of the individual. If he believes that people have sucessfully passed the test of hardship, he may remove the disease or even boost the health of an individual altogether, as in the case of Malama.
Prophet:
Name: Malama Honey-Eater
Age: 109 (a living example of Ulam's power!)
Gender: Female
Description: An old pudgy woman who most would say to be around 50. She is of a darkish complexion and has grey eyes. She has no hair, having shaved it some time ago. She is of average height and walks in a slow, cautious manner during most days. She usually wears the hide of a giant wombat and uses it in such a matter that from a distance, she actually appears to be the creature. She constantly carries herbs and other reagents on her body. Unlike other prophets, she does not ground herself to one tribe; she wanders throughout the lands lodging with one clan for a time before moving on; her god cares little for loyalty to one people over another.
