Created by Oum during the time of beginnings, KikAkoOnuKas exists to govern the world that Liphan would populate. The seasons, the elements, the things that are. Kik is fecundity unbound, endlessly working to feed the world’s hunger. It is the great oak, the ear of grain, the stubborn weed. Ako is shapeless motion, the force that makes the water course like the blood through your veins. It is the coursing stream, the crashing waves, the draining whirlpool. Onu is a wild flame, which drives back the fathomless cold of the void. It is the sun’s kiss, the lick of the flames, the proof of life. Kas, finally, is the laboring nothing, which brings the endless flow to the places Ako cannot reach. It is the sea breeze, the cavern’s whistle, the herald of passageways. Of all of the divines, the Four-in-One is easily of the most involved in mortal life, in contrast to their smaller following compared to other, more ‘sophisticated’ deities. Not to mention their fourfold aspects often intersect in several areas, depending on interpretation, and that suits their faithful just fine. For all mortals on Argent require all that is governed by the quadrumvirate god, their cooperation being the fulcrum upon which existence turned. Not only does KikAkoOnuKas have four heads that change via season, but a dominant personality that overtakes them during that season. The aquatic head, Ako, is extremely aggressive and angry and thus, the summertime, with the change in winds and seas has weather phenomena like the monsoon season. Springtime is generally a time of renewal, birth, and happiness due to the mammal head Kik's rather pacifistic nature. Autumn is a time of reflection and appreciation, as Onu looks back on what has been accomplished in the year, and lastly winter, which is a time of mourning and depression as Kas lays everything barren and to rest to prepare for the new year. KikAkoOnuKas is genderfluid as their gender changes with the seasons. Their body remains the same with both male and female characteristics, but aspects of their expression of those parts changes with their form. To refer to the god by their full name is the best way to avoid their wrath of misinterpreting one god as another. Depending on the season depends on their temperance on such matters. For instance, in the winter where they are least passionate, they are most likely to be apathetic unless angered. In the summer, one wrong word can end an entire city. In scriptures, refering to them in plural is accepted practice, but never when addressing or reciting prayers in speech.

Learning all the aspects of the heads are important, many clerics worship just one of the aspects, as many times the different personalities argue and disagree with one other. Together, the clergy of KikAkoOnuKas work together to keep them content and to enact all four of their wills on the material plane, whilst keeping balance both with the natural order and the seasons.
