It claims to be Om himself, reduced to this pitiful state due to Discworld's gods needing belief to survive - and unfortunately for Om, it's starting to look like everyone in Omnia ( save the simple-minded Brutha) believes in the terrors that the Church will inflict on them for not adhering to their dogma more than they believe in Om himself. He finds a tortoise, dropped by an eagle in an unsuccessful attempt to smash its shell. At the bottom of the pecking order is the young novice Brutha, big and slow yet able to recite scripture on command.
Ruled by the Cenobiarch and his church military, the religion of Omnianism - the worship of the Great God ("holy horns") Om - dominates all aspects of life. Omnia is a theocratic empire, somewhere between Khomeini's Iran and inquisition-era Spain.
The 13th Discworld novel and a standalone, although it uses some characters and locations from Pyramids and its events influence later works.
