Uleria Umath Umbrol Unholy Trio

Uleria [yoo-LEHR-ee-ah]

Orlanth, Pamalt, and Yelm pantheons -- goddess of love and former Celestial Court goddess of life

Uleria represents Love in all its forms: eros, agape, lust, platonic, etc. She commands those powers which bring things or people together. She may be the only deity of the Celestial Court to survive the Great Darkness, though some believe that that being which is worshiped in her name is only a small portion of the whole of Uleria, or is actually another goddess with identical powers, attributes, and appearance. Uleria's cult is widespread but not politically powerful.

Uleria is depicted in different fashions for different pantheons, but always she is shown as a handsome, sexually mature man or woman.

For more information on Uleria, see the Cult of Uleria.

Umath [OO-math]

Orlanth pantheon -- the Destroyer

Umath fathered the many important air and storm deities, and his special attributes are strength and violence. He broke the universe apart to create a home for his children and is remembered as either a great villain or a great hero by everyone in the world.

He is usually shown as a squat, powerful figure holding up the sky.

Umbrol [UHM-brol]

Orlanth pantheon -- father of sylphs

see also Kolat

Umbrol has little mythos or worship, but holds an important place in the genealogy of the gods.

He is usually shown as a whirlwind, the form his sylph children appear in.

Unholy Trio

Chaos pantheon

see Malia, Ragnaglar, Thed

The Unholy Trio consists of Ragnaglar, Thed, and Malia. Together they created the ritual which allowed chaos to enter Glorantha and begin the destruction of the world.
