Ugamionite
An Ugamionite is worshiper of the god Ugamios who was openly worshiped in Shelekhumbia until the Isbajutha. During the Middle Ages of Chaos, cult centers of the god Ugamios arose throughout the Pallathantic Region, most notably in Gnousikai, Vimalia, and southern Pytharnia. His cult was introduced to these places by various missionaries, especially Kharedokhos the Oneiromancer, a powerful priest of Ugamios from Shelekhumbia. In Gnousikai, his cult was practiced and studied by the collaboration of the chaos mages of the city. They attempted to find a link between the god Ugamios and the god Zamzooh whose cult was known in the West only through revelation. Ugamionites are not necessarily chaos cultists and some object to the association strongly.
Practices
Ugamionites are typically but not exclusively men. They color their skin with woad or some other dye to make it appear bluish so as to resemble their god. They dispense with clothing altogether or simply wear a brown skirt. They prefer small shrines rather than large temples and the most knowledgeable Ugamionites can offer induction into the Ugamion School of Mysteries.
