Eithun and Gaddon Urr, the Brother Gluts (Eye-thune/ Gad-on Oor)

Eithun Urr possessed an appetite so great, even the world would not suffice. Much less, his brother.

Excerpt from The Ithitar Compendium

Devil of Gluttony, Lust, and Greed (a.k.a. The Great Stomach)

Eithun and Gaddon Urr are two Ithitar often associated with one another. They are recognized as siblings and hold the domain of greed, gluttony, and lust (though they represent much more). They are depicted as fat troll-like creatures covered in lesions, dung, and bruises. The most common depiction, however, shows Eithun's body and head with a malformed face protruding from his neck: the face of Gaddon.
Stories of Eithun and Gaddon are ones of temptation and control over those with little self-control. Those that gain great power are then ultimately consumed by the brothers themselves in their greed.

In Scripture

The most popular tale is about The Brother Gluts is "Orphi's Test of Gluts," in which Milin Orphi sets the brothers out to corrupt a son of Wenlen. In short, both brothers fail to corrupt the Ohdaufeen due to their inability to restrain themselves or put their own conflict to the side. In their greed, both Ghailen and Aedir put their own issues aside to cast the Ithitari brothers off. By the end, Milin Orphi claims that the Ohdaufeen was not expeccted to fall. He just wished to observe the methods the brothers used. When serving a feast for Eithun, who won the competition, Milin Orphi fed Gaddon to his own brother. When Eithun finished, the two brothers became one.
Though they both possess one body, the deity is usually called "Eithun Urr." He is presented as being a selfish and self preserving lapdog to Milin Orphi, agreeing with everything he says and offering boundless praise in hopes of another meal.

The Brother Gluts

By Savages, for Savages

During an age of savages, the to-be inhabitants of Astania ruled the Westlands (though their designation as "savages" is rather misplaced). While a portion of these people would end up living in Astania and establishing a civilization of their own, a small group sought to find land on the other end of the western sea (now known as the Caripreet Sea) as their ancestors had before. While they did find lands across the water, it was hardly a new continent. They chose to stay on the island within the Gulf of Urr. As generations passed, these individuals were lost to history before being rediscovered by Caripreet during the War of Twelve Crowns. It was eventually deciphered that these long-lost individuals worshipped two gods: The Glutton and the Decay. After the war, these two gods were integrated into the religion as devils. The Decay became known as "Bryte Nun, the corruptor" while the Glutton become known as "The Brother Gluts." Further investigation and questioning has revealed that icons for these gods already existed when the savagefolk first arrived at these islands. While there were reportedly ogres, trolls, and giants on this island upon their arrival, they almost certainly did not create the icons due to their mental fragility.

Fathers of Urr

The Brother Gluts are seen as the fathers of all Urr. In this case, Urr refers to ogres, giants, and trolls. Modern stories say that Eithun created Trolls, Gaddon create ogres, and giants were descendants of one or the other that had been saved by the children of Naimor (in other words, civilized). Their disgusting design is a clear marking of their connection to the god and they are often depicted as evil gluttons themselves due to their connection. This resulted in many hunts throughout the centuries. If one of the Urrfolk lived near a city or town and people went missing, the first response was always to find and slay the creature.
In modern times, many scholars believe that the original icons were created by the Urrfolk and rather than the mortal creatures being the image of the god, it is the other way around. It is further believed that their original roles in Urrfolk life were misinterpreted. While these scholars are typically well-revered, the isolated nature of the Urrfolk still makes most believe they are incapable of developing a formal culture.
Another popular idea is that the Marsh Orcs are related to the Brother Gluts, but this is typically a misconception made by less educated folk and there is no history or science to support it. Unfortunately, the idea has spread far and wide and results in discrimination towards the orcs.
