Nine trickster gods

The nine trickster gods were a group of primal spirits venerated in the city of Omu in Chult. Each spirit had a different power it could grant to the individual it inhabited.

The nine trickster gods, placed according to their alignment, were:

Personalities
Each trickster god had a different personality according to its nature. While Wongo was very violent and unstable, Moa was calm and honest. Unkh was the only exception to having an opposite spirit as he was the embodiment of true neutral.

The Decline of Omu
Once Ubtao left the Chultan people to their own fate, nine spirits arose from the jungles as powerful animals. The nine trickster gods saved the city of Omu from instant ruin and the Omuans built shrines to worship each god. On festival days, priests would partake in dangerous tests in the shrines of the nine gods as entertainment and sacrifices to the gods.

The Fall of Omu
Around the 14 century DR, Acererak the demilich came to Omu and, upon seeing the deadly trials created by the Omuans, Acererak killed all nine gods and entombed them in the Tomb of the Nine Gods. Acererak made the enslaved Omuans carve out a tomb for their fallen gods, in which he sealed all of the workers.

The Tomb of the Nine Gods
In the late 15 century DR, the trickster gods found different magical items to manifest in and regained some of their former powers. Adventurers who delved into the Tomb of the Nine Gods could be inhabited by the remaining spirits of the nine trickster gods, which could bestow gifts to their hosts that were unique to each god.
