-[[Woden]] the All-Father is the principal deity of the [[Wodenism|Wodenist]] religion.  He is the purported creator of all of [[Otan]] including all the races of [[Otan]] from the [[Ælf]]es and [[Dweorg]]es to the [[human]]s and [[Grendel]].  Despite his role as the creator, [[Woden]] he is often seen wandering [[Otan]] in the form of an elderly one-eyed man.  He is said to routinely father children in his travels and many noble bloodlines claim [[Woden]] as one of their ancestors.

-Woden is most often depicted as an elderly man, missing his left eye, which is said to be floating around Otan making observations.  This legend is undoubtedly supported by the [[Eye of Woden]], a satellite that circles the [[Otan]] sky.  Woden is frequently described as carrying a staff or spear.
