Church of the Lord of the Hells

Mythology & Lore

The devil god of the Hells represents mastery of tyranny and domination. His words are honeyed and carefully crafted, soothing and corrupting the mortal heart. The Lord of the Hells hold his domain with an iron rule, and the punishments that await those that cross him are legendary: the basis of nightmare. Evil entities pay him tribute alongside his devils, while warlocks are drawn to his power.
A twisted image of the celestial blood that once bore him, the Lord of the Hells is revealed in many tomes and murals as a handsome humanoid of deep, red skin and long, black hair. Two curling horns rise from his brow, and his lips ever bear a knowing grin.
The enemies of the Lord of the hells are numerous, even among the Fractured Gods, many of whom only follow the archdevil for fear of his immense power. The Lord of the Hell's archnemesis is the Changebearer, whose mischief and cunning vexed him throughout the eons. It was she who defeated him in the Fracturing by tricking his fiendish armies into attacking one another. The Devil Lord's greatest triumph during the Fracturing was fooling and betraying the Evermistress and slaughtering all her followers in one fell stroke- a move that today has united the followers of the Evermistress and the Changebearer in an unbreakable bond.

Tenets of Faith

• Assert dominance and power over others. Show your strength of will in the image of the Lord.
• Repay cruelty done unto you with further evil. If others show you kindness, exploit it.
• As you ascend to power, do not pity or show mercy to those you climb over to get there. Compassion is unwarranted for the weak.
