<b><i>God & title</i></b>: Unown, Creators of Language<br><br><i><b>Quote</b></i>: Knowledge, emotion, and society are only possible through language and communication.<br><br><b><i>Agenda:</i></b> Followers of the Unown are to devote their lives to spreading knowledge to all beings intelligent enough to understand it. They are always to keep a written record of their experiences for the sake of posterity. They ought to attempt to decipher any written records they do not understand and to serve as mediators in communication when they witness a situation in which one being does not understand another. Finally, they are to attempt to capture the nuances of emotion through language.<br><br><b><i>Taboo:</i></b> Followers are forbidden from destroying or modifying written records. They must attempt to protect any written records that are under immediate threat of being destroyed.<br><br><i><b>Truespeech:</b></i> Regardless of what language a disciple of the Unown speaks, any being within earshot understands what he is saying as if he was speaking in their native language. The disciple is also able to understand any language spoken as if it was his native language. Disciples with sufficient favor are also able to understand and speak with objects such as plants and buildings, although these are unable to communicate anything outside of broad concepts.<br><br><b><i>Photographic Memory:</i></b> Disciples of the Unown are able to remember anything they have ever read or written immediately and without effort. They are also able to remember images perfectly if and only if they decided to remember that image while they were looking at it. <br><br><i><b>Word Essence:</b></i> Disciples of the Unown are able to draw out the pure essence of a word, causing it to manifest physically. For instance, a disciple being threatened by a crowd of people could use the word "shield" to protect themselves or the word "disperse" to push them apart. Their ability to control the manifestation and the power of it increases with favor.
