The Nommos descend from the sky in a vessel accompanied by fire and thunder. After arriving, the Nommos created a resvoir of water and subsequently dove into the water. The Dogon legends state that Nommos requiered a watery environmet in wich to live. "The Nommo divided his body among men to feed them"; that is why it is also said that as the universe "had drunk of his body", the Nommo also made men drink.
