Ootl (Oo-tul)
Overview
Not much is known about this strange god from a distant world. He is patron to those who stand aside and allow injustice to occur, granting power to the nihilistically psychotic, or simply watching over the depressed without motivation. Newly discovered by scholars, Ootl's beginnings are as mysterious as the distant world he is believed to have originated from. Ancient texts speak of a once vibrant and colorful deity, full of hope and dreams, who witnessed some cataclysmic event on his home plane that left him forever changed. The event, described as "The Great Unraveling," was a chain of inexplicable tragedies that Ootl could have prevented but chose not to. This decision haunts him, and in the aftermath, he became the embodiment of inaction and passivity.Divine Domains

Example Antipaladin Codes
- Stand as the impassive observer, intervening only when it serves the emptiness Ootl embodies.
- Form no bonds, for they are chains that bind you to the transient world. Maintain detachment, even in the face of tragedy.
- Protect the sanctity of emptiness and silence. Strike down, kill, or exterminate those who seek to fill the void with purpose or meaning.
- Teach others the truth of life's meaningless nature. Through despair and desolation, show them the way of Ootl.
- Honor Ootl in stillness and quiet contemplation, recognizing that in the vastness of the universe, one's voice is but a whisper lost to the void.
