Bachhus, God of Wine and Madness
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Domains: Chaos, Animal, Plant
Symbol: A stylized wine cup
Garb: Robes of maroon and gold denoting red and white wines
Favored Weapons: Greatclub
Form of Worship and Holidays: Indulgence and excess are sacred activities to the worshippers of Bacchus. The wildest celebration of the year takes place during grape harvest, in both the early spring and late fall. These affairs last up to three full days, and are usually followed by long periods of inactivity, in which worshippers lie about and moan pathetically.
Typical Worshippers: Drunkards, alcoholics, libertines, nobles, young people, satyrs, some fey creatures and the Baccae, the chosen race.
Bacchus appears as a youthful well built man with curly brown hair. Rams horns spring from his brow and he is frequently dressed in a wine- (or blood-) stained toga. Bacchus is the god of revels and debauchery and the overindulgence in alcoholic beverages. The god’s priestesses, the Baccae, epitomize the rage and mindless violence that often comes of overindulgence. These priestesses, once believed to have been mortal women, take on beastlike visages and tear their lovers limb from limb in orgiastic frenzies of wine and death.
