Ua

Ua is the god of Intellect and Arcana, They are a neutral deity obsessed with the enhancement of the mind for all purposes through any means. Their worshipers are encouraged to read anything they can get their hands on and espouse scientific ways of thinking. Ua's worshipers have built an interconnected library system with branches in almost every major city that has become a primary source of information across the world.

No one is entirely sure of Ua's true origin, their birth seems to coincide with the beginning of the sentient races, and Ua's power seems directly proportional to the overall number and intelligence of the sentience. The current theory is that Ua is simply a reflection of the mortal psyche, and grows and shrinks in relation to that.

Ua is often depicted as a roughly brain-shaped constellation in art and stories. Although when Ua appears to mortals, they often appear as a ghostly humanoid(appearance varies) whose limbs are unconnected to each other and unbound by gravity.

Ua favors the wise, the intelligent and the magical. Worship of Ua is common among the social elite and the well educated, but rare among the common folk. Their religion is almost entirely textual and requires worshipers to spend many hours poring over texts, both holy and mundane. The creature in charge of the organized worship of Ua is known as the Throne of Ua, they appear as an alabaster humanoid, whose race changes depending on who views them, their head is partially melted away, revealing a glowing blue orb where it's brain should be. The Throne of Ua is the physical presence of Ua on the world, and if they were to be destroyed, it would instantly cripple Ua and rob them of the ability to effect the world to any significant extent. Fortunately the Throne is an immensely powerful spellcaster and it would be quite a challenge to take them down.
