MIRGOTH

Mirgoth is commonly depicted as a handsome male figure in black robes wielding a spear. almost forgotten now, Mirgoth was a popular god several millennia ago but political fighting among his priests lead to a decline. Mirgoth's dogma is straightforward; magic is a tool used to enforce the law of might upon all. Some scholars use ancient references to Mirgoth as a god of magic and darkness to support the claim that Mirgoth's role as a war god is a secondary result of this theology. Any modern priests or worshipers of Mirgoth must practice their faith in secrecy because there are no known active temples. According to ancient texts, worship services included a gathering at dusk and a simple unified chant of; "Power shall bring the darkness that makes all equal before Mirgoth." At the height of their power, Mirgoth's worshipers counted many wizards, warriors, and nobles among their number. Many of Mirgoth's priests studied wizardry and warfare to better serve their god. Priests and wizards lead the many wars Mirgoth's followers fought to expand his domain and were usually seen at the front of the battle lines. Sketchy records indicate the priests and followers of Mirgoth created a number of powerful relics that are lost or forgotten. The few existing relics that can be traced back to Mirgoth's worshippers are powerful enough to lend credence to these rumors.
