Malathur
the Drowned Tyrant
Description
Malathur, the Drowned Tyrant, is revered by those who revel in chaos and destruction, who seek to drown order and watch the world succumb to watery cataclysms. His followers embrace the chaotic power of the seas, invoking storms and tidal waves, leaving devastation in their wake as they carve a path of destruction through the world. Malathur appears as a monstrous figure, half-man and half-tidal wave. His lower body dissolves into a frothy, churning mass of water and seaweed, while his upper body is heavily armored and crowned with a helm shaped like a leering, demonic face. In one hand, he wields an earth breaker, its surface corroded by saltwater and etched with runes of doom.Worship and Temples
Temples dedicated to Malathur are ominous structures, often found near treacherous coastlines or amidst the ruins of drowned cities. Dark rituals, sacrifices, and chants to summon cataclysmic storms are common in these temples. His worshippers invoke his wrath, seeking to bring about floods, drownings, and catastrophic disasters upon their enemies.Clergy and Codes of Conduct
Malathur's clergy, known as Drownwardens, are agents of chaos and destruction. They revel in causing widespread panic, initiating tsunamis, and watching entire civilizations sink beneath the waves. Their code encourages ruthlessness, the pursuit of power through any means, and the manipulation of natural disasters for personal gain.Tenets of Faith
Embrace the Depths: The true power lies beneath the waves. Embrace the deep and let its chaotic force guide your actions.
Drown the Weak: Weakness is a sin. Those who falter should be cleansed in the waters of oblivion, leaving only the strong to thrive.
Invoke the Tempest: Call upon the tempest's wrath to wreak havoc and destruction. In chaos, find your truest form.
Sow Discord: Fan the flames of discord and chaos wherever you go. Strife is the seed from which cataclysms grow.
Fear No Consequence: In the pursuit of chaos, fear no consequence. Embrace the risk and relish the power it grants.
