Mogis, the god of slaughter, embodies unbridled hatred, violence, and the merciless brutality of war. His terrifying presence is that of a four-horned minotaur of immense size, clad in spiked bronze armor and wielding a massive ebon greataxe. The anger and malice that emanate from Mogis are almost palpable, and his appearance strikes fear into the hearts of mortals.
Mogis’s Influence Mogis, like his brother, governs the sphere of warfare.

He drives warriors to acts of cruelty and malice in their pursuit of victory. Only those who have experienced the terror and violence of war truly understand the seductive nature of Mogis’s power. To feel rage, to be an instrument of wrath—these emotions override the fear of battle. In hatred there is strength, and Mogis revels in this fact.
