Ⅰ

Ⅱ

Imot, the Symbol of Doom, is an agender psychopomp usher born from the guilt and desire for hindsight felt by mortals after a tragedy. It arranges calamities to kill off cultures that fail to die quickly enough. Imot is compelled to hide clues to every natural disaster using symbolism and equations, and these portents induce a subconscious unease in those who do not understand them and provide insight to those who do (though they usually end up figuring them out too late). For this reason Imot is concerned with fear, particularly of personal failures, and self-blame for inevitable disasters, and it judges souls who died unavoidable deaths.

Home

Imot observes the Universe and Outer Sphere from the Tetravia, a tower between the Eight Courts, for new patterns and secrets and rarely leaves their domain.

Appearance

Imot is a golden square pyramid with a wing sprouting from each facet. It has difficulty speaking and communicates mostly with images and symbols, a mode of communication which mortals and psychopomps alike—except for Imot's long-time servants—find frustrating.

Cults

Imot is mostly worshipped by mathematicians, those plagued by unsettling premonitions, and, as of the Age of Lost Omens, seekers of accurate prophecies. Imot issues obscure portents based on impossibly complex mathematical calculations rather than divine insight. Hunters also worship Imot to appease it after suffering loss due to a calamity.
