Mordiggian / Vardessain
Ghoul-God of the Bottomless Maw, Lord of Unending Thirst, the Hunger God, the Unsated God, Devourer of Souls, Patron of the Darakhul Empire
Domains: Animal, Destruction, Hunger, Strength
Favoured Weapon: Bola, hand axe, punching dagger, unarmed strike (claw) All creatures hunger, and without food, life ends. Mordiggian took this primal need and built a faith on it from simple gluttony to cannibal feasting. Indeed, food is seen as a sacrament that builds life, healthy, and right-eous strength in the faithful, and the followers of Mordiggian can be both great gourmands and the world’s least picky eaters. Sacrifices to the god are invariably edible—and sometimes still living. Mordiggian’s best-known forms are those of scavengers and predators: white wolves, ghouls, and darakhul, but also undead of abnormal size. In any form, visions, depictions, and avatars of Mordiggian are always feeding on something. Worshipers
Mordiggian’s followers are the hungry and the ambi-tious: power-hungry men, monsters, and ghouls, vam-pires, darakhul, and the undead. They have no morals or standards, only instinct. Symbols and Books
Mordiggian’s holy beast is the purple worm, a creature that devours sacrifices to the god in his temples. When embroidered or painted on vestments, it is shown as a purple snake consuming its own tail or a pair of open jaws. The priests of Mordiggian keep bats, serpents, and oozes as living incarnations of hunger. Mordiggian’s holiest text is not a book but a series of cave paintings called “the Feast” and rendered in the Shrine of Vardesain in Darakhan, the White City of the Ghoul Imperium. The empire depends on the Feeding Laws, the god’s edicts written on scrolls of skin and carried by his priests. To disobey the Feeding Laws is to invite divine punishment, though in practice they are broken frequently. What Mordiggian Demands
Flesh is weak, but your will is strong: show your strength. Hunt and kill what you eat when you can; scavenging is not dishonourable. Fast when you must find focus and purity, for your hunger will grow.
