Zhiys

God of Air

Zhiys is the god of air, an element that exists outside of Zhok's control but which its eyes are subject to its power. Zhiys is a deity who is hard to pin down their motives or predict what they are going to do next.

Divinity

Divine Domains

Zhiys controls the air and other gaseous matter. It also controls the concept of space and volume.

Because of the nature of spoken language requiring air to pass through, Zhiys also controls the domain of spoken language. Believers, especially Kugma people, do not prioritize spoken language as the predominant form of communication, as they recognize the many other forms of communication between people; however, Zhiys' control over this domain is respected.

Riddles are in Zhiys' domain as well.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Zhiys has no eye symbol like the other gods in the Infinite Eyes of Zhok, but is instead represented by wavy lines or curves. Occasionally, for aesthetic purposes, these wavy lines will form a closed shape, but it is not understood to be an eye, but merely an artistic choice for symmetry with the other round symbols of the other gods.

Holidays

While not a holiday per se, the day of a child's first words is dedicated to Zhiys.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Zhiys' goals are separate from the other gods. Unlike the dramatics of Lizh or the resignation of Dhûm, Zhiys enjoys their life and lives it despite the other gods' presence.
