 ==The Present==
-The single group to put as much of the truth together as possible (but still have a great many holes and misconceptions in their understanding!) is the [[Church of Tubbius]], solely through the intervention of their ''[[Tubbius Regalis]]'', their titular head and recognized embodiment of [[Tubbius]]: [[Aloisius Treadwell]].  The Glutton's latest attempt to intrude on humanity was checked harshly by The Creator; Aloisius was born with no knowledge of The Glutton or any of its divine forms.  Only through meeting a group of traveling Tubbians in [[Myrken Wood]] and joining them did he reveal a glimmer of his past.  The mischievous interference of [[Libri]], however, saw Aloisius ultimately restored to full knowledge and capabilities.  This would, of course, lead to considerable consequences for The Scholar, but with Treadwell already being in his sixties at the time of this revelation, he has been left to his own carefully watched devices.
+Until A.R. 222, the [[Church of Tubbius]] was unaware of the nature of the Glutton's masterminding everything about their faith. With that rectified as noted in A.R. 222, they are now learning to move forward without the insidious influence of the Glutton behind the scenes.
-−
-Largely speaking, despite his knowledge of the truth, Treadwell is unable to act on that knowledge.  Using gluttony-based magic would see no good for the people of [[Myrken Wood]].  Prattling about The Glutton or any of his forms with anyone other than a loyal Tubbian would lead to Aloisius being seen as a senile old fool at best or a dangerous madman at worst.  Taking on the appearance of The Glutton for longer than a few moments would be disastrous, as has been shown on a very few, solitary occasions in Myrken's recent history.  In short, The Glutton has what he wants: attention and another body to shovel food and drink into in a useless attempt to stop his incessant stomachs.
-−
-However, The Great Slug cannot have more than that, nor will he ever be allowed such.  Despite his seeming brutishness and bossiness--and his misguided belief that he could, perhaps in time, unseat The Creator from power--he is truly very much stuck in his eternal position: a foul, fetid sea of beer and ruined food.

	With the passing of time would come one final divine form of The Glutton. This would be [[Marta]], a Mother Goddess worshipped only infrequently by human faithful. Being The Great Slug's wife and the mother of their three children, when this goddess of fertility and childbirth reached a disastrously low number of believers to the point of her near dissolution, her greedy husband again made insistence on The Creator, again with his usual threats of freeing himself and devouring his divine siblings and what he could reach of creation. Hesitant replacement and absorption of her role saw the plump, elderly matron taken on as a third--and final allowed!--divine representation of the larger Slug. After all, a mother of endless, human children would need to eat and drink a great deal, and The Glutton had, by this point, long proven himself in his quiet role as [[Porcus]], the swine mother being venerated by pig owners around [[Myrken Wood]] and [[Amasynia]] and being seen by most as a pet to [[Tubbius]] without the Tubbians fully understanding the true relationship between the various entities. Only a small handful of [[Aloisius Treadwell\|Treadwell]]'s closest associates in the [[Church of Tubbius\|Church]] know the truth of the matter.

		+	As of February 13, 2022 (A.R. 2022), the Glutton was finally wrenched from its component forms, with The Glutton, Tubbius, Marta, and Porcus being split completely into their own entities, forms, and dominions. Thus, the Glutton has lost essentially all of its power over humanity, being left again to its own miseries and frustrations in its lair.

 ==Description==
-The Glutton is a naked monster designed with only endless voracity in mind seen among his divine peers as the firstborn of the one they call The Creator.  His upper half is that of an extremely corpulent human male with what should be a white beard flowing over his upper body, although said facial hair is bedraggled and unkempt, twisted on itself and spread out in filth-stained strings and tatters.  Below the lowest reaches of this ruined beard, a dozen mouth slits circle his overgrown belly and lower back.  Each mouth hosts sharp teeth and a slathering, slimy tongue always reaching for more sustenance from the Sea of Sludge and Ale in which its owner floats.  Unclothed male human anatomy is now unused after fathering only three children.  The bottom half of The Glutton is that of a great, gray-and-brown mottled slug, given to the same bloated bagginess as the rest of the body.  It trails a foul, gray slime across what it touches in its ale-soaked bed of rotten food and muck.

 Shortly after the creation of [[Porcus]] came another divine appearance earned through a series of treacherous events--that of [[Tubbius]], posited to the Tubbian faithful as a god of growth and harvest that was an enormously fat, mountain-sized man with his lower half buried in the ground.  Tubbius's chief religious scripture, ''The Folds of Tubbius'', is superficially a book regarding ideal farming practices and an endorsement of eating and drinking very well, to the point of merry excess.  It is more truthfully a book that very nearly forces its members to live by ideals of exaggerated corpulence and gluttony if taken literally without wavering--The Glutton's method of nudging a handful of earthly followers his way.  Perhaps surprisingly, this incarnation has been reasonably successful, with a scattered handful of faithful churches across [[Amasynia]] and [[Myrken Wood]].
