Atum (Deity)

Atum is the creator deity of Atum's pantheon. He is the first deity to have stepped foot into the realm and created it in his own designs. His creations named the world in his honor.

History
His pantheon's origins are unknown but had relationships and conflicts in other worlds before entering into this world. They were each given a portion of the world to do as they see fit and help him manage and create order in the realm.

After the first Age of Creation the major pantheon stepped back and began watching their creations build their own world, beginning the Age of Empires where the gods only intervened when requested extensively by followers or cults.

During the War in Heaven Atum began to lose control of his pantheon and the world below, and it was him that the people of the world chose to place blame for the four plagues after he chose not to intervene. He was the first to have his power siphoned by the Pharaoh Ahn'kesh to forge the weapon Godbreaker. In response he took the war to Ahn'kesh's great empire and in a rage he undid thousands of years of progress and order and destroyed ten cities before he was finally stopped. A dozen other empires of humans and other uplifted rose up in response and took the fight to Atum. He was one of the first to fall, shattered by the weapon built from a portion of his power albeit his final blow mortally wounding Akh'kesh.

After his death there remained a cult that existed and fought to resurrect him and seek to obtain the godshards of Atum to restore order to the wastes. In a thousand years its unknown how many artifacts or shards they've managed to obtain but they remain one of the larger militant orders in the sands.

Creations
Atum's designs were used as the blueprint for the entire realm, but it was the efforts of all the gods that gave it life. Atum's favorite creations were humans, their penchant to create and build new empires in his name greatly pleased him and they brought order and tamed the sands of the world bit by bit. He had a love for all of the uplifted races though, and many of them honored him in return.

Artifacts
Atum was the first god targeted by the arcanoficers that would craft the godforged artifacts. As such there are many created from his essence buried in the sands of Atum.
