D'Vowchan (god)

D'Vowchan is the central deity in the D'Vowchanian sect of Krumboism. A self-contradictory and complex figure, D'Vowchan is said to passively permeate all the universe and imbue it with the apathy which characterizes existence. However, tradition also depicts D'Vowchan as a fierce warlike god who demands constant adoration from devotees. D'Vowchan is genderless, as it took too much effort to decide on one. We henceforth refer to D'Vowchan using the neuter pronoun "ze."

Attributes
D'Vowchan appears in the Krumboian holy book, the Book of Books, although different sects dispute zir true significance to the main creeds of Krumboism.

D'Vowchan did not have an origin, as ze is the very essence of existence. Neither did D'Vowchan create the universe. A principle of D'Vowchanian practice is to accept the facts of life as they are, as exemplified in the mantra, "Deal with it." The insigna of a D'Vowchan is believed to be a single point, that most mundane yet fundamental of geometric concepts. D'Vowchan is rumored to wear a pair of very cool shades.

Despite zir demand for worship, D'Vowchan is frequently depicted avoiding the limelight  in the Book of Books. D'Vowchan cannot be bothered with the trivial affairs of humans, because all human activities are ultimately meaningless (as is everything else).

D'Vowchan is also known as a god of war, who sometimes finds amusement in human suffering because "why the hell not?" Zir blessings are often invoked in military operations.

Bemtom philosopher and polymath Bleen Grue argued that D'Vowchan is especially unfond of haberdashery. He also criticized the "cult of apathy" as implicit in propagating idiotic ideas throughout Bemton society. His most heretical theses caused enormous civil and legal strife in the early Republic, with lasting repercussions on Bemton history.

Worship
Adherents of D'Vowchan may express their devote in many ways. A common practice documented in the 17th century unmeditating, in which one tries very hard to think about absolutely nothing. Most saints in the D'Vowchanian tradition achieved critical breakthrough ideas while unmeditating. Adherents may also strive for oneness with D'Vowchan by muttering the most holy word: "Meh."

Radical branches of D'Vowchanism might emphasis D'Vowchan's warlike tendencies and total apathy. These branches are most associated with terrorism, although it is not clear who they are terrorizing, or for what purpose. The horrifying acts of certain radical branches has arguably been used as anti-D'Vowchanian propaganda throughout Bemton history.
