Regarding Omeswallen, the chupapedia has written:
The name of the ring-world comes from an old legend about Sirca, a giant black she-cat who devoured a falling star. From this star Sirca conceived and gave birth to a litter of chupas, the first in the world.
The House of Omega perverts this legend a bit, saying that Omega came riding into the world on that falling star, and that the chupa race was conceived when Omega coupled with Sirca. In many older churches there are murals depicting both versions of the legend, with Omega's sigil drawn on the body of a comet that's being swallowed by the mother-cat.
As for the high priestess's letter:
Immediately following Thanksgiving, Black Friday is a dedicated block of time when shops mark down merchandise to wholesale prices in order to lure herds of gullible customers into a violent, frenzied stampede, and force embattled retail employees to clean up after their swath of greed-inspired destruction.
Let's hope the memo never reaches Lord Omega's desk.
