"O’ Akhreb Ummi, great Mother of Scorpions, save your faithful child." - the noises of revenge kept growing louder as the peasants approached - "I, Ziri, swear upon my soul to become your sight and senses. Silently, with her lips alone, Ziri started to whisper a prayer. She could hear the peasants storming into the palace rooms, overcome with hatred, murdering the Ormans one by one and sparing not a single soul, not even the elderly and children. but such an assault is a betrayal in itself," thought the child, curling up in a corner in fear. "The poor might not have been treated fairly. She peeked out her window and realized that the peasants, fed up with the heinous deeds of the nobleman, had decided to do away with Mensah Orman and his family. "How is it that the clan protected by Akhreb Ummi herself became the epitome of wickedness and injustice?" bewailed Ziri in her dim room, while in the courtyard her father executed yet another unfortunate for trumped-up charges.īut what was that?!

The most prominent trait of the kind and just goddess, however, was her merciless retribution for traitors. The Mother of Scorpions, patron of the deceived, The Requiter: she went by a great number of names. The Orman clan’s origins can be traced back to the era of the Forgotten Gods of the Adjalar oasis. The glyph adorning the grand hall of the ancestral home of the Ormans in intricate relief depicts a scorpion ready to strike.
