Ontautt

(ahn-tah-U)

Also known as the Deities and the Eight, they are the founders of the Known Universe that take many shapes and sizes.

The first five after Aster were created to solve specific problems of Aster’s, and the final two were created at once. Each Deity’s origin is discussed in further detail in the first book of the Ontiba, also known as the Book of Aster.

After the Timekeeping Reset, the Deities made a pact immortalized and recorded within the Ontiba that they would leave Omneutta to the mortal species to do with what they see fit. However, over the centuries since the event, there are widespread rumors of several Deities appearing, whether as statues, animals, monsters, or in disguise as a member of their Sentient Species in order to manipulate events.

The Ontautt’s biology is difficult to describe as a whole, since each Deity takes on several different forms. The pure, Incarnate form of each Ontautt is what each of the other Sentient Species were based on, and is one of many forms, including Original, Wrath, and Eternal. The Shared Form of the Ontautt resembles Aster’s pure form, with small derivations for each Deity. Overall the shared form is tall and lanky, around 3m. (10’) tall. Each body has a floating head that is a swirling black cloud with small lights resembling stars.
