Brought into the Greater Pallathantic Region no later than the first millennium before Salmakhamer from Shelekhumbia, the god Ugamios holds the power of giving shape-shifting dreams that have the power to come true. He is thought to have originated in a much older form from ancient Omre. His practitioners, the dreaming priests, are known as the Ugamionites. He was worshiped before the Yophenthean Empire in Kalama, Lucacia, Ithatia, and Ebinóë. The cult of Ugamios was renewed during the Middle Ages of Chaos when the prophet missionary, Kharedokhos the Oneiromancer brought the worship of Ugamios from Shelekhumbia into Maturn. This renewed understanding is generally what informs most Ugamios-worshipers' practices.

Ugamios is commonly regarded to be a chaos god, but this is disputed by some scholars. Nevertheless, his worship is proscribed in most places.

Depiction

Ugamios is depicted as man with smooth skin in place of a mouth. He is naked, light-muscled, and has a slate blue skin. He can appear and vanish from sight quickly and typically at night. He speaks with gesture or conveys thoughts directly to the mind. Sometimes he is depicted wearing a golden skirt with a red belt, especially in his temples. He often wears a crown in the style of an ancient Omrekheen headdress.
