Ilusahim are the aloof and distant gods of Shadow — spirits of global or universal phenomena, and rulers of entire umia. The “weaker” Ilusah are spirits like the Firstborn; patrons of entire tribes. Mother Luna and her brother Helios are the best-known greater Ilusahim. Spirits of this rank are almost never seen in person, preferring to make their lairs in deep, protected Places-That-Aren’t, and are too powerful for the world of Flesh to support them—they can’t cross the Gauntlet. Their servant umia of Dihim, Ensahim, and Hursahim enact their will across the Hisil.
