'''Uvot''' is the [[Touv]] god of Prosperity. His symbol is a depiction of fruit. 

==Description==
Uvot is portrayed as a Touv child surrounded by fruits, grains, and crafted items, or as a giant Touv man carrying these things in his arms. 

==Relationships==
Uvot is the creator and leader of the Touv pantheon, which also includes the gods [[Berna]], [[Breeka]], [[Damaran]], [[Katay]], [[Kundo]], [[Meyanok]], [[Nola]], [[Vogan]], and [[Xanag]]. 

==Realm==
According to [[Sean K. Reynolds]]' "Scarlet Brotherhood FAQ," the Touv gods are spirits who dwell on [[Oerth]] itself rather than on other planes of existence. Uvot is the spirit of the bounty of the world.  

==Dogma==
Uvot personifies the bounty of the land and the prosperity to be gained by using his gifts. He is the antithesis of destruction. 

==Worshippers==
===Clergy===
Priests and shamans of Uvot teach medicine, bless marriage, and give advice on crops, finding water, hunting, and how best to use the resources available. Their advice is not always solicited by others, but it is usually correct. They may use atl-atls, clubs, daggers, hand axes, scythes, short bows, sickles, and staves, and wear any nonmetal armor. Their favored weapon is the scythe, with other preferred weapons being daggers, quarterstaves, and sickles. They wear fine animal skins and cloth garments.

==Holy days==
The first day of the week in the Touv calendar, Uday, is named for Uvot. 

==Myths and legends==
===The creation of the gods===
Before the first "true people" walked the Oerth, the world was lonely and souless, though there were still green growing things, animals, and precious gifts of the earth. Then Uvot was born, rising as a great noise from the Oerth and all that was on it and in it.

When Uvot thanked the [[Liga|sun]] for blessing the land with its warmth, he awoke [[Nola]], the goddess of the sun. When a gentle rain fell, Uvot thanked the storm for the gift of water, and so he named and shaped [[Vogan]], the god of weather.  When Uvot blessed Nola, she gave birth to [[Xanag]], goddess of metals and beauty. 

==Creative origins==
Uday was created by Sean K. Reynolds.
