Z'OG

Z'Og is commonly depicted as a three-eyed bat-like figure in black robes wielding a spear. almost forgotten now, Z'Og was a popular god several hundred years ago but political fighting among his priests lead to a decline. Z'Og's dogma is straightforward; magic is a tool used to enforce the power of Z'Og upon all. Some scholars use ancient references to Z'Og as a god of magic and darkness to support the claim that Z'Og's role as a war god is a secondary result of this theology. Any modern priests or worshipers of Z'Og 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 Z'Og." At the height of their power, Z'Og's worshipers counted many drow wizards, warriors, and nobles among their number. Many of Z'Og's priests studied wizardry and warfare to better serve their god. Priests and wizards lead the many wars Z'Og'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 Z'Og created a number of powerful relics that are lost or forgotten. The few existing relics that can be traced back to Z'Og's worshippers are powerful enough to lend credence to these rumors.
