Known to most sentient creatures as gods or deities, the Olam Beyn are those beings who’s Meyda formed Soul is so dense and powerful that it functions as its own Ogen. This means that they are capable of traversing between Luumara and L’vad at will. They are commonly powerful enough to conduct Forced Contracts on most non-Olam Beyn, and can utilize extremely powerful Meyda-work with ease.

Origins

Most Olam Beyn are created by Abbaki who hold an Ember. However once an Abbaki has joined their ember and their body to a planet’s World Stone Olam Beyn can come to exist due to powerful concepts and mass conscious belief. Mammon is an Attovian example of this phenomenon. In even more rare occasions a sentient being that is otherwise not an Olam Beyn may rise to become one through a powerful contract or gift. Mordechai conducted such a contract.

Embodiment

When an Olam Beyn has existed for long enough, it is common for their form to become quite malleable. Not unlike later stages of Meyda-bombardment the sense of the visual self breaks down heavily. Thankfully for the Olam Beyn they have a proper image as to the shape of their Soul which stabilizes the psyche despite the frustration. Exiting the Extramaterial World and manifesting in the Material World is a simple task for most, but brings about some unwelcome results. Firstly and least of the issues, it is a heavy expenditure of Meyda. Secondly their transference generally attracts attention from the knowledgeable. This is a nuisance largely in thanks to who those knowledgeable are (i.e. cults, researchers and eccentric Wizard organizations). Thirdly the problem of image. Many Olam Beyn’s physical appearance is forced upon them by the collective image assigned to them by the populace that is aware of or believes in their existence. Fighting this, which many do, is exhausting and must be done for the entirety of their stay in the Material World. Walking around as the exact spitting image of every carving or depiction of a deity becomes a constant hazard to an Olam Beyn’s goal.
