Maglubiyet

Fiery-Eyes, the Mighty One, the High Chieftain, the Lord of Depths and Darkness, the Battle Lord

Maglubiyet is the chief deity of Goblins, norkers, and hobgoblins. He is a god of war and leadership who rules over the goblin pantheon with an iron fist.
Maglubiyet appears as a giant (11 feet tall), black-skinned goblin with flaming eyes, powerfully-muscled arms and sharp talons. He wields a mighty coal-black battle axe that constantly drips blood.
From his throne of flaming iron, Maglubiyet commands the souls of Goblins, hobgoblins, and worgs to wage eternal war against the orcish petitioners of Gruumsh. He also employs baatezu, barghests, and yugoloths as mercenaries and commanders to bolster his armies.
Maglubiyet is worshiped in cave temples where sacrifices of hearts are made to him monthly.

Tenets of Faith

Maglubiyet revels in conflict and destruction and constantly pushes his followers to wage war, particularly against Dwarves and Gnomes. He encourages Goblins to increase their numbers in order to overrun their enemies. As a paranoid god he is prone to destroy lesser goblin deities when he suspects treachery or he thinks they are becoming too powerful.
Maglubiyet is worshiped by Goblins and hobgoblins alike. His goblin worshipers are sometimes referred to as the "Sons of Maglubiyet." The tasloi also worship an aspect of Maglubiyet.
The priests and shamans of Maglubiyet are his mouthpieces on the Material Planes. They fulfil his demands for blood sacrifices by dispatching victims with an axe. They believe that these sacrifices strengthen Maglubiyet. His clergy is almost always drawn from the goblin and hobgoblin races.
Maglubiyet communes with his priests through omens. Blood flowing from the edge of an axe, abnormal behaviour in worgs and wolves, and speaking directly through shamans in a trance are all ways he makes his will known.
In some places Maglubiyet's priests wear grey-green scale mail and conical hats. His holy weapon is the battle axe.
