Isirah

Isirah is one of the old gods of Erta, of which he is one of the youngest. He is credited as the deity of chaos, madness, illogic, impossibility, and entropy. The religious order centered around Isirah, known as 'The Order of Isirah', exists predominantly on Kezara where it is the state religion of the Elkler Empire. Many Daemrians in Daemr practice a similar variation of this faith.

History:
The first legends depicting Isirah or similar characters first began appearing midway through the First-Age. A popular legend regarding his origin, commonly known as "I's Paradox", describes the day that I, the all knowing, all powerful one, began contemplating itself. It is said that as the endless sea of I's intellect began folding in upon itself, all became nothing, nothing became all, and within an instant a schism formed in reality. This microcosm of infinite infinitesimals then collapsed in a tremendous and devastating event which forever scarred Erta and created the wastelands. At it's epicenter, at the fabled oasis, emerged a figure, a deity born of a paradox and who exists only to create more. To this day Isirah is believed by most to be a severed extension of I, a twisted psyche that was detached for the good of the world but which gained independence in the process.

Since then Isisrah has appeared often in the collective stories and artworks of many cultures around the world. Most depictions of him show him as a human-like figure, often with prominent abnormalities such as disproportional physiology, peculiar features, or wearing eccentric garbs. However, he has also taken on many other forms throughout time including but not limited to Elkler, Daemrian, snake, vulture, Hyena, etc...
