Biography:
Within the chronocycle, only one god has persisted to be the first and last living member of each cycle. Obeya has lived on Eideiri as conqueror, spiritual leader, and benefactor. It is his proclamation that the boundaries between mortals and gods is superfluous. His truth is that this world is merely a story and there can only be a single main character. The duty of the individual is to better themselves in preparation for a larger destiny beyond this mortal realm. It is to be the best person you can be, morally, physically, mentally, and in every other possible way. That the purpose of the cycles of life and death is to give one’s soul another chance at achieving this destiny. The duty of everyone else is to exist as they are in way best fitted to support the individual in their growth. Obeya is always found on Eideiri as a mortal with great influence, sometimes to find the chosen soul and sometimes to better himself to become the chosen soul.
Worshippers:
Monks, philanthropists, writers, leaders, military, power-hungry assistant managers

Worship:
The core tenets of Obeyan philosophy exist on the principle that a greater destiny awaits a single person and that the others do not truly exist. It is impossible to know who the individual is, therefore it is the moral imperative of all people to prepare themselves for this destiny. This is why people are blessed with ambition and opportunity. Obeya does nothing more than offer this simple truth to the people and to encourage them by leading them by example. Those who achieve greatness in their mortal lives claim themselves to be Obeya’s mortal incarnation and build great shrines in his and their own honor. This is most often seen throughout history when leaders attempt to manifest their destiny through conquest of new lands and new peoples. However, brutality is not the only doctrine of Obeya. Those same leaders are spiritually compelled to better themselves by offering medicines, food, and better lives for those whom they have conquered. That is, as Obeya proclaims, why doing something good for another yields a positive feeling. It is done because it betters oneself morally.
Obeyan philosophy is not exclusively for leaders. Although leadership is a highly coveted quality, anyone attempting to better themselves would find themselves expressing Obeya. It is the moral duty of underlings to either rise to the top or provide the best opportunity for their superiors to rise further. The majority of those subscribed to Obeyan philosophy fall in this crop who believe they are destined and merely lack the opportunity and environment to rise due to external factors. They are delusional and while Obeya’s teachings acknowledges their existence as the majority, they lack the self awareness to make the distinction in fear of disillusioning themselves. Obeya respects hierarchy but acknowledges that true leadership breaks structure and instills their own. The freedom to do so is crucial and everyone thinks they are special because one of them actually is.
Servants:
Obeya does not recognize any heralds, angels, or deific servants. That has not stopped many from dying pointlessly trying to prove themselves.
