Yfuleg, Elder God of Chaos

Yfuleg is the Elder God of Chaos and Magic. Also known as the Mad God, Yfuleg is the most strange and alien of all the Elder Gods. He is responsible for the Weave, the source of all magic on Somara.

Creation of Somara
Sometime during the First Era, Yfuleg slew the Forgotten God, then took the divinity of the former deity and wove it into the very essence of Somara. This force of primal power became known as the Weave, which mortals are able to tap into and wield as the force of magic.

When Neket sealed the Elder Gods off from Somara, Yfuleg was banished to the Far Realm, where he remains to this day.

Appearance
Like the other Elder Gods, Yfuleg is barred from entering Somara, but will, on rare occasion, use the Breach in the Seal to appear to mortals. Yfuleg, as a being of pure chaos, can never appear wholly to mortals, for extended glimpses of his true form will irrevocably drive them insane. The accounts of Yfuleg's appearance are wildly conflicting, some claim he is a mass of slippery, writing tentacles, with no clear beginning or end; others claim he is an enormous void, the only visible feature being millions of eyes of all kinds; and still others report that he is a wall of rotten flesh covered in mouths of all shapes and sizes, all speaking about different things at once.

There are two main theories as to why this is; some scholars claim that his form is always changing, which explains the wide variety of appearances; while others claim that every account of his appearance is incorrect, and all descriptions are merely the individual mortal mind's way of comprehending the chaotic contradiction that is Yfuleg's true form.

Worship
The Cult of the Broken Mind is the primary organization that worships Yfuleg, though calling it an 'organization' would be antithetical to its purpose. Yfuleg very rarely appears to his worshippers, and on the rare occasion that he gives them instruction, it is often so cryptic or contradictory that it is nearly impossible to follow. His cultists primarily believe that what most see as unordered chaos actually contains the secret to the supreme power of creation and knowledge, just hidden in a method that the mortal mind cannot ordinarily comprehend. They vehemently oppose any semblance of order, making them extremely unpopular or even barred from many towns and cities, forcing cultists to conduct meetings in secrecy, away from prying eyes. They see madness as a gift of understanding from Yfuleg, and believe that those who descend into it are drawing closer to true understanding.

Though the core beliefs are the same, it is more likely for cultists of Yfuleg to disagree than reach a consensus about any course of action, resulting in hundreds of variations of doctrines among the chapters of the cult.

Yfuleg will occasionally find favor in mortals and make them warlocks under the Pact of the Great Old One. He rarely gives coherent instruction to his servants, often only tasking them with spreading chaos throughout Somara. His motives and reasons for wanting this are completely unknown.
