Morbin

Morbin is the informal name of the god Moribaat and therefore the primary focus of the Church of Moribaat.

Divine Domains

Moribaat, or Morbin, is the god of war and death, also sometimes called Justice.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

His symbols are an hourglass (death) and a circle (war). He manifests as a hooded and cloaked figure, or as an armored knight; generally, his face is either a skull or is shrouded. His sacred animals include bats, vultures, butterflies/moths, and rats.

Tenets of Faith

The culture of the church emphasizes seven tenets.

• Authority. Authority comes from within and without. Authority is strength and power, derived from arms and armor but also from character. A leader should be able to maintain their authority without their spear in hand.
• Defense. Do not strike first, but draw your sword to defend.
• Obedience. When you do not know the larger truth, the gift you give is your obedience, to those who earn it with their authority.
• Truth. Truth is inherently virtuous. Truth is a mirror. A mirror must never be blamed for what it shows.
• Virtue. Reputation is what others believe of you. Virtue is what you are when no one sees you.
• Equality. Death comes for all equally. A sword cuts all flesh the same. Don what armor you like, but Moribaat will judge you the same.
• Judgment. In your eyes, be as death, and be as a sword. Look past the armor of reputation and see all equally. See their truth and their virtue.

History

Somewhere before the founding of the Empire, Morbin and Ananda, along with Bel, performed a ritual together with Zed and banished all of the rest of the gods from this world.

Relationship Reasoning

Morbin and Ananda have an apparently close relationship of trust. On the (somewhat antiquated) wheel of power in the current cosmology, Ananda is at the top as the Goddess of Creation and Morbin is at the bottom as the God of Destruction; they are mirrors of one another and create balance between simply by existing. This stability between them is comforting and worshippers can sense this, often designing motifs and patterns placing Ananda and Morbin in opposition and placing Bel as an afterthought.

Relationship Reasoning

Bel and Morbin are always at odds. In the somewhat-antiquated Wheel of Power in the current cosmology, Bel is the Goddess of Preservation, located on the left side of the wheel, and Morbin is the God of Destruction, at the bottom of the wheel. Rarely do they align, except where there must be destruction in order for life to thrive. As much as the Trinity might insist that there should be only three in their pantheon, Bel is really the odd one out; if there really was balance, Bel should be counteracted by the god of change, Zed, and Morbin is uncomfortably aware of that. 
On a more personal level, Bel just doesn't think in enough straight lines, and Morbin hates that. She is too wild and too wise.
