Summary::Benevolent god of growth and potential, he promotes survival through bravery and love. Arch-nemesis to Malazter, and technically a part of the planet itself. Oan has a terrible relationship with his "brother" Malazter, God of Hatred and Entropy. Created at the same moment, Oan represented a spiralling expansion of life which growths without direct sentience, while Malazte represented a desire with a weak presence of body. Oan chose to spread his will out among the world of Cor so that those living upon its lands may know free will, while Malazter remained focused, and unable to touch the world. Weaker than his brother but everpresent, Oan bides his time acting as a barrier between its people and Malazter's horrors from the depths.
