Phosbet (Fos-bet)

The harbinger of fear and nightmares, Phosbet is known frequently as, “The Boogey Man”. Many myths and stories surround the dark deity, though whether or not these are true, is actually quite likely. Phosbet's influence is there at every conflict and sign of danger--big or small, and he’s there with every nightmare you have. He is the embodiment of fear. Though many mortals despise him for making them feel fear, they often forget that without him, they wouldn't be alive. His work involves all creatures, humanoid or otherwise. Fear can be a source of knowledge and experience, that influences growth and better decision making. Phosbet’s very goal is to test life and it’s determination. Those who understand this and worship Phosbet are often ones who spread fear, and are often rewarded by him for doing so.
