Passionate, fiery, and apt to act before thinking, Umtivk prizes action above all else and prefers a decisive wrong act to an indecisive right one. “Strong and wrong” is, to Umtivk, a great compliment. It is quickest to anger of the Four Powers of Entropy, quickest to pass judgment, and quickest to violence…but also just as quick to forget, as quick to forgive, and as quick to give gifts. The God of Blood welcomes gifts of bloodshed, but equally smiles upon those who impulsively make peace. Two mortal enemies spontaneously engaging in a drinking contest would bring just as much joy to Umtivk as would a murder. Those who see Umtivk as a god of war are among its strongest followers, but they are often disappointed when they learn of its fickleness.
A number of devotees to Umtivik exist, many organized into groups of societies. The Clot is probably the most numerous and well-organized, though the Bloodletters and the Transfusionists might object. As with most of the so-called “gods” that make up the Powers of Entropy and Exergy, veneration of and belief in Umtivk crosses all known peoples, empires, and factions.
