The DeathBringer, the Lord of Blackness
“You are the Darkness behind and beneath the shadows. You are the absence of air that awaits at the bottom of every breath. You are the Ending before Life, the Decay that fertilizes the Living. You are that which is hidden secluded and forbidden. Scream to him in terror, and yours will be the Power to Forebear. Think of him when you feel pleasure, and he will intensify it, until the time when he may have the greatest pleasure of meeting me at the Crossroads Between the Worlds”
Common Prayer of Azahak
The Lord of Blackness or the DeathBringer is the god of all that is dark, vile, dangerous, evil and disordered. His very essence is a twist on all that is perfect or established within the omniverse. He is one of the three Celestial Overlords and known as the destroyer.
After Elal and Gishra brought life to the universes, it was Azahak that turned all of nature against itself, giving free will to mortals, as well as to the gods.
His primary worshippers are those that evil, vile and of ill repute. They lurk in dark places hidden from the sight of normal life. His followers are many, yet like his priests they are very rarely seen in the open giving reverence or venerating the DeathBringer. Only his most faithful are known to openly worship this god of darkness.
His temples are typically hidden in deep underground labyrinths or in dark woods. Very few cities tolerate the open worship of this foul god.
Dogma
Fear is your soul. Fear of Azahak the destroyer. Serve no one but Azahak. Make others fear the Black Lord more than they fear death. Strike down all those that stand against the DeathBringer. Show them the trues horrors of defying the Master of Darkness. Never let power and its opportunity slip through your fingers. To cross the Deathbringer is to surely die.
Tenets
The dark priest of Azahak follow his dark laws, not out of faith or loyalty but out of fear and distrust. These laws are meant to control his priests from abandoning the Lord of Blackness. To betray him, or abandon him is to bring down the quick and painful wrath of the Deathbringer. His tenets are known as: Daga Na’shur - Laws of Death.
1) Show no others compassion or mercy
2) Focus on the destruction of all that is Natural
3) Azahak’s desires shall always be first
4) Use cruelty to further your gains
5) Influence the strong, subjugate the weak, and betray the innocent
6) The Law of Nature is an aberration fight against its spread
Failure to abide by these laws always have disastrous consequences. Many priests have found themselves among the living dead of Duat.
