Ompalam is a god that presents himself as that of order and command, though in actuality he is the Chaos god of cruelty, captivity, and coercion. He is sometimes referred to as Ompalam, God of Slave-Takers. Though his worship began outside of the Black Eel Valley, by the time of the Chaos Age, some valley-Wheels have come to worship him for his support of slavery. It is said that he is most well-known in the far west, so it could be that is from where his worship originates.

| “ | Although they tried to keep it quiet, I have learned that the <Wheel> clan recently sacrificed to the god of slavery. This has given Chaos an inroad, which can easily lead to worse. | ” |
