Morgath

 

 

 

 

"Tormentor of the Unlamented Dead, Master of the Principle of Evil, Lord of the Gulmorvin of the Black Pit, Wielder of the Shadow of Incarnate Evil, Wreaker of Chaos."


"MAMA!!!" The small child wept, his tear filled eyes pouring small puddles into his straw-mat bed. His mother, what was left of her, lay stiff on the floor. Pieces of her flesh already betraying decay putrid green in hue. She’d died days ago, but that couldn’t stop him from crying, seven years old... what else was he to do? A hand, cold yet comforting landed soundlessly upon his shoulder, he went on crying, not looking up, then another hand, dried, stiff, and cold felt its way to the crown of his head. "Mama?" His voice filled with hope, but too scared to look and face the truth.

"Yes child, your mother." The priestess spoke to him in a tone that would have sent him running in any other situation, but his eyes peeled open, and he looked up. His mother was standing true... still decayed, still cold, still lifeless, but she was there for him. The priestess smiled nothing comforting in her expression, more a mock happiness. His mother always instructed him to stay clear from those that work the way of death, he’d seen there gargoyle clad faces staring down at him as he quickly ran from the area to his home, but now, they were there for him... They’d brought back his mama. "Death is nothing but a shroud my young one..." she spoke in quiet, precise tones, "It only need be lifted by those who know the means."
She extended her hand, and he took it in his, and they walked, the three of them from that dirty house, down that dark street, and into the temple of darkness... the temple of life after death... his temple, his new home.


Morgath is the master of Chaos and Evil, and of all the gods he is the quickest to anger and the most prone to violence and insanity. He is fond of retribution, but cares not of justice. Morgath's Church is fairly secretive, and the average resident of Harn has little knowledge about it. It is said that the church practices human sacrifice, and that many of the Church's higher clergy are, in fact, undead themselves.


Like Agrik and Naveh, the worship of Morgath is punishable by summary execution in most lawful kingdoms, but there are major temples in Golotha and Coranan.
