The god of knowledge Unknown has few adherents among the Beast World’s mortals. The deity, whose avatar is a genderless mouse, is doomed to eternal melancholy by their perfect foreknowledge of the future. When there are no more surprises, existence itself becomes rote. Yttrus would be unknown to the beasts and brethren, were it not for their single place of worship: the Omniscient Temple in Harik.
At the birth of the Beast World, Harik was a desolate wasteland ignored by every bey. Scholars would travel to its seclusion to perform research that was unpopular with other academics. One group of these scholars used mathematics and deduction to prove that Yttrus must exist. They even calculated their most likely portfolio.
Yttrus spoke, giving them a reward for finding this spark of truth without the guidance of previous discoveries. The god gave them a relic they called the Vessel of Yttrus: a ceramic bowl inscribed in plain language with knowledge about important future events. Some believe this to be the birthplace of the Common tongue, but the Omniscient Temple keeps the purpose of the Vessel—and its location—a grave secret.
They used some of its knowledge to transform Harik into a natural paradise. They redirected mountain streams in the Bey’s Head to form the mighty Gizli river, flooding thousands of square miles with fertile soil. This was a compromise with the people of the Beast World, for keeping the Vessel of Yttrus closely among themselves.
