Shamar

Aspects
Shamar is the god of Stasis and Preservation.

Alignment
Shamar's alignment is Lawful Neutral.

Annex
Shamar is a Greater God, standing opposite of Xom, Xalto, and Rathar.

Plane
Ntzcht Shamah is a region in the arctic permafrost of Gaia where Time is stalled. The closer one gets to the center, the slower Time moves. Only beings that exist outside of Time (such as the Gods) can move about freely. Mortals that enter Ntzcht Shamah could take millenia to cross while experiencing only a few hours, but mundane being native to the realm will be less suseptible to its effects (i.e. the bunny rabbits or whatnot living at the fringes will be nearly unaffected after a few generations)

Personality
Stubborn

Creations

 * The Voidstone

Races
Shamar is not inclined to create living beings of his own, and no gods nor mortals have asked him to bestow blessings.

Motivations
Shamar can feel all motion in the universe, and it grates on his senses like nails on a chalkboard. All he wants is some peace and quiet. Rathar ceasing the progression of Time would accomplish this goal, but Shamar suspects that stillness is every bit as repulsive to Rathar as motion is to Shamar.

Aspirations
Shamar seeks to prevent Change. To keep things as they presently Are. The ultimate expression of this would be to stop Time, but lesser forms of preservation are worthwhile.

Relationships
Shamar has no explicit allies, although other gods of Order come closest.

Xom
Xom is Shamar's most despised rival, for spreading Chaos throughout the Void.

Rathar
Shamar is frustrated with Rathar for enabling Xom and the other gods of Chaos. Such change would not be possible if only the steady progression of Time were to cease. He struggles endlessly against Rather, causing Time to have a near-imperceptible stutter. (In other words the back-and-forth of Rathar and Shamar creates Planck Time, the smallest possible unit of Time).

Xalto
Xalto is an interesting case. One could view Xalto's relationship with Shamar like a primitive surgeon operating without anesthetic. The patient is belligerent with pain, but the surgery is ultimately for the patient's benefit. No matter how much it pain it causes Shamar, when Xalto's work is complete the universe will be still and Shamar will finally be at peace once again. The whole ordeal would be over much quicker if Shamar would just stop fighting it.

The "Tainted"
Shamar is apprehensive of all Gods that coalesced after Xom spread his Dust of Creation throughout the Void, considering them tainted by Chaos. He does not outright reject them, but

The only Gods that Shamar knows to be born free of Xom's subtle influence are as follows:


 * Xalto
 * Ailsa
 * Yuna
 * Dreka
 * Xom
 * Shamar
 * Anar and Rana
 * Athelstan
 * Ramen
 * Zasheir
 * Mars
 * Rathar
 * Tzeentch
 * Fec
 * Tymoro
 * Roke
 * Psychos
