Memnor

Memnor is the giant deity of pride, honour, mental prowess and control. Their symbol is a thin black obelisk. They are worshipped by The Smiling Ones. They are a Cloud Giant (skyejotun). They despise weakness, dishonour, and stupidity.

Fall of Memnor
After the giant gods were forced to retreat to Umbara's Peaks, Memnor's hatred of Annam grew even greater. They made his move and attempted to usurp the great giant leader. They confronted Annam, and they were so convincing that the other giant deities refused to aid Annam. However, even in his weakened state Annam was able to best Memnor in combat, and was cast down into the Underdark.

The Great Temple of Memnor
The Great Temple of Memnor was constructed by The Smiling Ones, in the Underdark, to house and protect Memnor and his worshippers. It was the construction of this temple that led to the construction of the Great Descent.

Resurrection
The Smiling Ones aim to resurrect Memnor.

Motivations Post-Resurrection
Memnor wants to: To re-establish their favour, they realise that the best way is to help The Shield in re-conquering and securing Umbara.
 * Re-establish their power and favour as a deity
 * Spread their influence over Umbara and the mountain lands
 * Destroy the remnants of Annam and his followers, the Friends of Annam

Overpeople
To achieve this, Memnor decides to promise a new evolution of people - Overpeople (Uverjotun).

Stormcutters
Stormcutters (Uvargravers) will be the lightning to bring the Overpeople into being. They imbue their followers with immense power. They grow larger, stronger, intelligence and levelheaded-ness, power of premonition, and gain influence over magic, but lose themselves in the process. They become lawful-neutral, and prideful.

Memnor retains power ultimate control over these Runecutters. Storm cutters are created to create, in time, overmen - the next breed of beings, superior and perfect. Each Stormcutter is a powerful warlock, with a fragmented aspect of Memnor as a patron - similar to a horcrux. Their power and goals come from Memnor. They are of random genders, creatures, etc.

The plan is that these individuals will quickly seize power and influence across the cities of Umbara, before attributing their power to Memnor and promising others the same powers. Once they have influence, and solidify Memnor's rule, they will begin their experiments and create the next evolution of men. Their experiments often involve giving citizens cantrips.

"With this I have given mankind the greatest present that has been ever given so far. They do not understand me: I annoy the mouth for these ears."
