Num-Torum
Num-Torum (Numi-Torem or Numi-Turum) is the supreme god or father god of the Ugrian peoples. He is the father of the hero Mir-Susne-Hum, six other sons, including Postajankt-iki, and one daughter. His siblings are Hotel-Ekva (Sun), Etposzojka (Moon), Naj-Ekva (fire), Kuly-Otir (underworld) and his wife, Kaltes-Ekwa. According to the Khanty people, he lives on the highest level of heaven, which means that it is difficult for people to talk to him, thus the children of Num-Torum are consulted on his behalf. He and his seven sons lived in a house of gold and silver.

gollark: https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/monads.html explains monads slightly for someone familiar with the rest of Haskell but somehow not that.
gollark: But monads are cool*!
gollark: I refuse.
gollark: This is using a "state monad", which is basically just what Haskell does because they wanted mutable variables but different somehow.
gollark: Less ironically, it's basically a purely functional way to, well, sequence actions which operate on state, sort of thing.
