Gods

Ubtao

• • Ubtao was a god who lived among the people of Chult.

  • The constant warring between tribes eventually led to Ubtao deserting them in disgust.

  • The Chultans have made peace in the 100 years since, but Ubtao has not returned.

  • Dinosaurs are revered as Ubtao's sacred children.

A central figure in Chult's history is the greater god Ubtao, who long protected the land and Chultan civilization. But Ubtao grew angry over his worshipers' endless warring and their reliance on him to solve all their problems. More than a century ago, Ubtao simply abandoned Chult, and his influence hasn't been felt there since that day. When he left, the Chultans suffered a crippling spiritual blow, but eventually the disunited, warring tribes learned to put aside their petty conflicts and unite as one people. To this day, the dinosaurs of Chult are still revered as Ubtao's sacred children by many Chultans, even though Ubtao himself is no longer popular.

With Ubtao gone, the Chultans turned to other deities, Including ones introduced to them by missionaries from distant civilizations.

• • Waukeen (goddess of trade) is revered by Port Nyanzaru's many merchants. 

  • Gond (god of craft)

• Savras (god of divination and fate)

• Sune (goddess oflove and beauty)

• Tymora (goddess of good fortune)

Besides spreading word of their deities, however, too many foreign missionaries also exploited the Chultans and their land for profit, which led to many conflicts. The temples and shrines persist, but most of the clergy are now Chultans. Foreign clerics who proselytize too energetically aren't welcomed in Port Nyanzaru.
