Zhirogeigo

Zhirogeigo is the second deity of the Skulemteh and therefore Ili religion. It is represented by a snake with a human face, sometimes with a clown-like mask. Those who represent Zhirogeigo with a human face believe that power must come with both intellect and intuition. Those who represent it with a mask, on the other hand, believe that power is best taken through deceit.

The different interpretation has been a minor point of contention, but not enough to cause a real split in the religion. It is believed that Zhirogeigo is one of only two deities still alive, the other being Maixgeigo. The other two deities, Hinbagshongeigo and Beligeigo, are both considered to have been killed before the events of The Diamond Spearhead.
