Yrom was the trickster god of cynicism and belief in the futility of knowledge and reason.
Worship
editCongregations of Yrom consisted of priests and gymnosophists who lived ascetic lives of begging and foraging. All excesses and luxuries were given as sacrifices to their deity by being burned or buried. Lavish temples and icons were considered profane and unsuited for worship. Plain, unconsecrated spaces were preferred venues for ceremonies.
