Llŵm is a lesser god thought to be descended from Rhewlla (Rhio), Meidb, or both. His legends arose principally in the first and second centuries after Salmakhamer. He was powerful chaos mage and sorcerer and a worshiper of the god Rhewlla and the gods of chaos. Powerful spellcasters of the Middle Ages propitiated and emulated the god. Llŵm is depicted as a wizard wearing elaborate headdress. His worship today is proscribed as dictated by the Accord of the Princes of Law and other laws in most jurisdictions of the Pallathantic Region.

The name of Llŵm derives from the Medibgóëse Language. Some scholars believe it is related to the word Llum, the name of the Medibgóëse God of the south wind. Some of the ancient rulers of Medibgö, such as Llŵmbo, were named after Llŵm.

Llŵm, already demi-mortal, was granted full godhood after fulfilling a quest.

While his worship is officially forbidden, the lore and legends surrounding Llŵm remain quite popular in Medibgö. Young Medibgóëse often can recite tales and verse about the demi-god. The rather contained nature of Medibgóëse civilization generally makes it unlikely that any worshiper of his will remain private and unknown to any relevant authorities.

The Medibgóëse name Llŵmbo means 'Little Llŵm'.
