Omrataji
History
Omrataji is the god of silver and all those who work with it, from the miners who pull it from the earth to the artisans who shape it. Followers of Omrataji believe silver is the most valuable of elements, because of its effectiveness in defeating evil outsiders, vampires, and lycanthropes. Omrataji has become a patron of crusades against such evils, not by fighting them directly—though he isn’t against such action in times of need—but rather by ensuring those who oppose them have access to the finest of weapons needed to defeat them. Despite his reputation as a crusader deity, Omrataji’s main focus is as a god of crafting and the relationships that arise within the silver industry.Omrataji’s followers believe that the act of trading, sharing, or otherwise passing silver from one person to another is a gesture of friendship, camaraderie, and charity, even if such practical transactions are part of a financial arrangement rather than acts of altruism. One of the most common axioms spoken by Omrataji’s faithful is, “May the silver flow freely from your purse,” indicating that the speaker wishes wealth, communion, and generosity upon the subject of his blessing.
Omrataji’s followers aren’t naïve about the power of wealth to divide and oppress, but they do maintain optimism that commerce can be purified into something that uplifts everyone in society, rather than being used as a tool to reduce the power of the already powerless. They attempt to teach others to manage their resources well and navigate the nation’s economic systems with a sense of confidence.
The Spirit in Silver stands in direct opposition to Abadar, as the latter's unrepentant commercial efforts have the potential to harm as much as they help, and his focus on profit above all else stands opposed to Omrataji's view that such wealth is there to serve a greater good.
