Uum'Athra of Py'swoak Kamen

Nemose Preistman Uum'Athra of Py'swoak Kamen was born in PA 1077 in the now ruined village of Mard'ath in the Nemose Isle of Py'swoak Kamen. He is considered to be the father of modern-day magical morality and the originator of the divide between good and evil morality in the Harvaena mainland.



Life and Death
Uum'Athra was a peaceful man, being born in a small village in the isolated east of Py'swoak Kamen, he didn't see much great violence or changes until later in life. In 1A 2, after his hometown of Mard'ath was sacked by rougue elves plundering, raping, and destroying the city, he escaped (his entire family dead) and journeyed west to the Yu'peraesa Ya Ped mountain rage and isoated himself from the world.

From 1A 2-34, he stayed in the mountain ranges reading and thinking about the horrific acts in the world. He finished his work "Ya Mareg" (Of The Evil) in 1A 30 and it contained his theory of the constant divide between evil and good in the world and the significance of this to what he called "Pardas'gatha" (his word for the Lifestream, a concept that had not yet reached Py'swoak Kamen). In 34, he left the mountains and ventured southeast to Trē where he settled in a small cottage on the outskirts of town.

It was here that his philosophy began to gain traction. At that time, the black and white morality divide was understood by the Nemose people but it was purely tribal and not defined. As "Ya Mareg" began to be popular in Trē, many young Nemose approached Uum'Athra with a desire to be descipled and taught. By 40, Uum'Athra was so popular that the Price of Py'swoak Kamen approached him with a mission to take his philosphy into the Harvaena mainland. The government supplied him with ships, supplies, and men and sent him west to teach and spread the philosophy throughout the world.

From 1A 40-125, Uum'Athra went throught the Harvaena mainland teaching and discipling. He passed away on a ship heading to the Stipian Ku'ud in 125 due to a disease he contracted abroad in southern Aridia. Upon his death, the crew sent a ship with his remains back to the capital of Py'swoak Kamen, El'Meera where the monestary of Moudrē (a monastary dedicated to the knowledge of "Ya Mareg") has held it until today. The divide of Uum'Athra was named after him, in an effort to remember his original pilgrimage from Mard'ath to the Yu'Peraesa Ya Ped all those long years prior.

Philisophical Impact
Uum'Athra laid the foundation for the contrast between "good" and "evil" magic in Harvaena. His defining of the morality divide paved the way for advancement in Niaphysics (later on) through the understanding of magic. Many people refer to him as the "Patrionarch of Morality" to this day.
