Azatara, god of the other world
The Other World, Astral King, King of Dust, The Great Eater
god of the other world
Azatara owns the entire dimension of the astral plane. When Dijiva laid the egg that held both worlds, Azatara and Vesi, Azatara became the ruler of one world, while Vesi controlled the other. The fight to win dominance over their egg ended early when the egg split in half, leaving both worlds to remain underdeveloped and connected. In the last moments before the egg broke, Azatara sank their teeth into Vesi's body. The teeth went on to become wormstone.Divine Domains
Because Azatara owns the entire world of the other side, the full extent of their powers are not known to the believers of the Vopan faith. The god is shrouded in mystery.

Divine Symbols & Sigils
The symbol of Azatara is a mouth with several missing teeth. They can also be represented by half an egg shape with a circle representing Pemija's eye, which over the years has been simplified to a single half circle with a circle inside of it.
Holidays
As described in the Parasoza, the longest night of the year belongs to Azatara, as that is when the border between the two worlds is thinnest.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Azatara wants their teeth back and revenge on Vesi for keeping them for so long, despite it being out of Vesi's control once the egg hatched.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Azatara's physical form consists of all of the matter in the astral realm.
Mental characteristics
Failures & Embarrassments
The loss of their teeth is considered both a deep failure and an accomplishment. The bite itself was a success, but they had their victory snatched from them. This distress caused them to vomit astral particles, beginning the process of life for astral creatures.
Morality & Philosophy
Azatara only seeks revenge. While they may align themselves with others, such as Pemija, who want to help them achieve their goals, they are not averse to destroying any obstacles, even former allies.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
In the ferocious battle between Azatara and Vesi, Azatara considered themselves to be on the brink of victory when the egg hatched open prematurely, robbing them of the chance to finish the job. While Pemija assures their believers that Azatara only wants the return of their teeth, Azatara seeks revenge on the other world and hopes to destroy it, consuming it into their own.
