Ida

Ida (The Formless) [CN]

And when Ida was shown a cage, and henceforth resided in it, they smiled. For this thing was constructed of man, and all things of men can be manipulated by perception. The illusion of truth is just as powerful as truth itself.

- Edicts and Tales of the First Kin, Emari Ranuthar, 569 years post shattering.

Ida is the chaotic neutral god of Illusion and Lies. Worship of them is rare among priests and monks (other than those who follow the 9 First Kin) but is much more favored by those who work in the shadows, those who attempt to impersonate important individuals for personal gain, or even simple scam artists.

It is believed that Ida ascended to first kin through tricking a more powerful second kin deity into giving Ida the power – all the while having them believe that Ida was helping them ascend. After ascending, Ida forsook all identity that they had during life, and gave themselves fully to imitation. Their games are limited by a contract that they themselves were tricked into signing by a group of the other prime deities.
