Nidhoggr
the World Devourer
Description
Nidhoggr, the World Devourer, embodies the inevitability of decay and the chaos that accompanies destruction. His followers revel in the unraveling of civilizations and the erosion of order, believing that through entropy, new and unpredictable possibilities can emerge. Nidhoggr takes the form of an immense, decaying serpent with eyes that gleam with malevolence. His scales are a sickly green, and his breath carries the stench of decay. He coils around the roots of the World Tree, gnawing at its base, symbolizing the slow erosion of existence.Worship and Temples
Worship of Nidhoggr is clandestine and often performed in decaying ruins or rotting forests. His temples, if they can be called such, are grim places filled with diseased offerings and surrounded by carrion feeders. Followers seek to spread decay, embracing the chaos that comes with the destruction of order.Clergy and Codes of Conduct
Nidhoggr' clergy, known as Decaybringers, are driven by a desire to bring ruin to all they touch. They are bound by an unholy oath to spread decay, foster chaos, and undermine structures of power and stability. Their rituals often involve dark sacrifices and the desecration of places once considered holy.Tenets of Faith
Embrace Decay: Decay is the natural state of all existence. Embrace it, for in decay, true freedom is found.
Undermine Order: Seek out establishments of power and dismantle them. Disorder is the crucible of change and renewal.
Spread Corruption: Let corruption seep into the hearts of the righteous. In the rotting core of virtue lies the seeds of chaos.
Embody Entropy: Be the agent of disorder. Tear down what others build, for the world is destined to crumble.
Celebrate Destruction: Destruction is not an end but a transformation. Celebrate the annihilation of the old, for it paves the way for the new.
