# Goals for the prose section: pitch the god to a player/potential worshipper.
# Why should they worship this god? What are the advantages & limitations?
# What's 'cool' about this god?
%%%%
Ashenzari

While it seems inconceivable that the divine could be shackled, Ashenzari is
just that: bound to the sky for eternity, the unbudging god is all-knowing,
all-seeing. Devoted worshippers are allowed to grasp shreds of this knowledge
and foresight, but be warned: to Ashenzari, power and blessing and curse are
all the same thing.
%%%%
Beogh

A god of outcasts, pariahs, and the dispossessed, Beogh's altars are rarely
found among those of other faiths, but Beogh's missionaries may always be sought
by those looking for a place to belong. Worshippers will find many friends
within the dungeon, and those who prove their strength to Beogh may gain
lifelong companions the equal of any adventurer. To worship Beogh is to believe
there is strength that transcends species and bloodline. To worship Beogh is to
be an orc.
%%%%
Cheibriados

Cheibriados is a god of deliberation. Those following Cheibriados travel more
slowly the further they progress in their faith, and are forbidden from using
any means to hasten themselves. In the process of so imitating their god, they
attain perfection of mind and body, and the mysteries of time unfold before
them. Especially devout followers may even momentarily abandon the flow of
time and its needless disturbances.
%%%%
Dithmenos

Dithmenos is the god of night and of things half-seen in flickering torchlight.
Worshipped by actors as often as thieves, followers of Dithmenos can learn to
control their own shadow as if it were an extension of their body - misdirecting
onlookers and acting upon the world with force as tangible as anything that has
ever been imagined lurking in the dark.
%%%%
Elyvilon

Elyvilon the Healer welcomes all kind souls prepared to help others. Those
individuals can expect to gain powerful healing abilities, by which they can
avoid bloodshed. Elyvilon appreciates exploration of the dungeon. Elyvilon's
followers can convert to the Shining One or Zin while keeping some piety.
%%%%
Fedhas

Fedhas is the god of plant and fungal life. Followers are prevented from
harming any species under Fedhas' protection. In return, Fedhas grants a number
of abilities that promote the growth of plants and fungi. These abilities may
incidentally prove useful to adventurers.
%%%%
Gozag

Gozag Ym Sagoz the Greedy teaches that the world belongs to the rich. Those
accepting this principle may exchange their gold for divine assistance.
Followers of Gozag do not earn piety; the only way to impress this god is by
amassing a fortune, and worshippers may request as much assistance as they can
afford. Fortunately, Gozag's worshippers are said to have the touch of gold.
%%%%
Hepliaklqana

Hepliaklqana the Forgotten accepts the worship of those who would remember
their forebears, and fight alongside the greatest of them all. Acolytes of
Hepliaklqana sacrifice a small part of their life essence to manifest their
ancestor into the world; as they explore and form new experiences, they will
find themselves able to shape and control their ancestor's memory, eventually
bringing them into the ranks of the mythical heroes.
%%%%
Ignis

Ignis the Dying Flame offers followers power over fire in many forms. All of
Ignis' power is offered unconditionally to any who would deign to worship, but
once used, it can never be replenished. Ignis' other worshippers deserted long
ago; the divine fire burns low, and soon it will go out.
%%%%
Jiyva

Jiyva is the ancient deity of the slimes. Followers are expected to
support the spread and satiation of their fellow slimes by allowing them to
consume items, and are prevented from harming any slimes. Especially favoured
followers will become as shapeless as their god, mutating wildly.
%%%%
Kikubaaqudgha

Kikubaaqudgha is a terrible Demon-God, served by those who wish to indulge in
the powers of death. An evil god, Kikubaaqudgha requires worshippers to cause
the death and destruction of as many creatures as possible. In exchange,
Kikubaaqudgha offers great assistance to the aspiring necromancer: a supply of
useful bodies, knowledge of dark magic, and protection against necromantic
backlash.
%%%%
Lugonu

Banished to the chaotic realm of the Abyss, Lugonu the Unformed seeks followers
to spread bloodshed and corruption in the overworld. Those who gain Lugonu's
favour will be granted some of the power of the Abyss itself, allowing them to
call forth eldritch horrors, and even to travel between the overworld and the
Abyss at will.
%%%%
Makhleb

Makhleb the Destroyer is a fearsome deity of bloodshed and mortification of the
flesh. Followers are expected to cleanse others by inflicting suffering and
death on them in Makhleb's name. Dedicated followers may also access the raw
energies and hell-spawned servants of chaos, so that they may better break the
impure world and its false laws for their evil god's glory.
%%%%
Nemelex Xobeh

Nemelex is a strange and unpredictable chaotic trickster god, whose powers are
invoked through magical packs of cards painted in the ichor of demons. Followers
will be granted decks of cards as they traverse the dungeon, and are encouraged
to trust in the cards to provide them with divine assistance. However, the
Trickster can also ensure that fortune favours the bold.
%%%%
Okawaru

Okawaru is a dangerous and powerful god of battle. Followers are expected to
constantly prove themselves in combat, and may channel Okawaru's might to
enhance their prowess. Okawaru demands that followers prove themselves by their
own strength alone, and so worshippers are forbidden from gaining allies by any
means. Okawaru pays little heed to easy victories, but will reward worshippers
for heroic feats against mighty foes.
%%%%
Pakellas

Pakellas the Inventive believes in the supremacy of devices, magical or
otherwise, over spells and other forms of magic. Followers, although cut off
from ambient magical power, are provided with magical energy to empower their
devices so long as they use them to assert Pakellas' supremacy. Pakellas will
grant devout worshippers access to increasingly powerful devices.
%%%%
Qazlal

Qazlal Stormbringer is a violent god of tempests, who delights in unleashing
the forces of nature against the unsuspecting. Those who invite Qazlal's gaze
will find themselves the eye in a storm of elemental destruction, from which
only their God can protect them. Pious worshippers of Qazlal will gain the
ability to direct and control the destructive might of the storm.
%%%%
Ru

Of all the gods, only Ru opposed creation. Not as folly, but as distraction.
Initiates of Ru can open channels to the powers underlying the visible world by
renouncing the fetters that bind them here. These sacrifices are not made to
Ru, but rather given up freely and permanently. Having made such sacrifices,
initiates will become able to draw upon this immense power to aid themselves,
eventually gaining the ability to unleash its destructive might against their
foes.
%%%%
Sif Muna

Sif Muna the Loreminder is a contemplative but powerful deity, served by those
who seek magical knowledge. Followers who tirelessly pursue new horizons can
call upon the Loreminder for magical power and the ability to cast spells
beyond their magical training. The devout are rewarded with a supply of
spellbooks taken directly from Sif Muna's legendary library.
%%%%
the Shining One

Followers of the Shining One are bound to the code of the honourable warrior,
soldiers in their god's eternal crusade against evil. For forsaking dark magic
and underhanded tactics, the Shining One rewards them and their allies with the
power they need to slay demons and the undead. Especially devout warriors can
even call upon angels in times of need. The Shining One's followers can convert
to Elyvilon or Zin while keeping some piety.
%%%%
Trog

Trog is an ancient god of anger and violence. Followers are expected to kill in
Trog's name, and especially to slay wizards. In return, worshippers of Trog
gain the ability to go berserk at will in combat, and will be granted
assistance in the form of powerful weapons and mighty allies. Followers are
absolutely forbidden the use of spell magic.
%%%%
Uskayaw

Uskayaw the Reveller is a god of ecstatic dance. In the dungeon, Uskayaw
appreciates the passion and rhythm of combat, rewarding followers for each
strike they deliver and for the damage they deal their foes. The longer the
dance continues, the greater powers Uskayaw offers. When the dance ends,
Uskayaw quickly loses interest.
%%%%
Vehumet

Vehumet is a god of the destructive powers of magic. Followers will gain divine
assistance in commanding the hermetic arts, and the most favoured stand to gain
access to some of the fearsome spells in Vehumet's library. One's devotion to
Vehumet can be proven by the causing of as much carnage and destruction as
possible.
%%%%
Wu Jian

The Wu Jian Council is a congregation of martial monks, ascended to divinity
after battling their way out of the afterlife. Disciples of the Council are
able to execute acrobatic martial maneuvers, such as wall jumps, spinning
attacks and punishing lunges. They will eventually become able to request
help in the form of a storm of heavenly clouds.
%%%%
Xom

Xom is a wild and unpredictable god of chaos, who seeks not worshippers but
playthings with which to toy. Many choose to follow Xom in the hope of
receiving fabulous rewards and mighty powers, but Xom is nothing if not
capricious. There is nothing a follower can do to influence Xom's mood.
%%%%
Yredelemnul

Cast down by the good gods eons ago, Yredelemnul seeks to despoil their
creations and chain all living souls within their inexorable grip. Followers who
would conquer in Yredelemnul's name are granted the power to reap an army of the
dead and bind powerful souls into eternal service - provided they can sweep
across the land in a tide as inexorable as their god.
%%%%
Zin

Zin is a god of discipline. Followers must remain pure of body and soul,
refraining from dark magic and chaotic acts. They must also tithe a fraction of
all gold gained, preferably followed by donations of more. In exchange,
worshippers may invoke Zin's wrath upon sinners, and eventually gain various
divine protections. Zin's followers can convert to Elyvilon or the Shining One
while keeping some piety.
%%%%
Ashenzari powers

Ashenzari exhorts followers to curse their possessions, periodically offering
these curses to worshippers as they explore. These curses grant improvements
to specific skills, but cursed equipment cannot normally be enchanted and can
only be removed by shattering it forever. As worshippers equip more cursed
equipment, Ashenzari will grant increasing knowledge of the surrounding dungeon.
Eventually, Ashenzari will reveal the invisible, grant clarity of mind, and
protect worshippers from the Dungeon's malevolent forces.
%%%%
Beogh powers

Worshippers will gain the power to call down Beogh's wrath upon their
oppressors, and other orcs will start to see them as one of their own.
Especially promising adherents will find themselves beset by rivals for Beogh's
favour, but overcoming these trials without fleeing will gain them loyal
companions whom Beogh will resurrect time and time again, so long as they
continue to fight and avenge in Beogh's name. A true chosen one may even rally
an entire orcish army to avenge a wrongful death.
%%%%
Cheibriados powers

Followers of Cheibriados move more slowly as they gain favour. As they move
slower, worshippers of Cheibriados are granted increased attributes.
Cheibriados rewards the faithful with the power to slow other creatures and the
power to briefly distort the flow of time. Devout worshippers will gain the
ability to inflict great harm on all those who move more quickly than they do,
and finally the ability to step out of the flow of time entirely.
%%%%
Dithmenos powers

Followers of Dithmenos are surrounded by an unnatural quiet, which helps the
sounds they make go unnoticed. As they rise in devotion, they will find their
own shadow begins to imitate some of their actions, attacking when they attack
and even casting shadowy magics that mimic the form - if not the substance - of
whichever schools of magic they had been utilising.

More devout worshippers additionally gain the ability to swap places with their
shadow to mislead enemies, grasp other beings' shadows to unleash their magic on
the worshipper's behalf, and finally call down a night so dark that it hides all
denizens of the dungeon from each other.
%%%%
Elyvilon powers

The Healer offers followers a number of means to heal themselves from damage
and other ill effects. Followers may also attempt to pacify hostile monsters
and turn them neutral. Elyvilon may directly intervene to save a follower's
life, and if there has been no such intervention recently, is sure to prevent
a killing blow against especially pious followers. Elyvilon may also
occasionally protect the follower's allies from death.
%%%%
Fedhas powers

Plants and fungi will not attack Fedhas' worshippers without provocation.
Worshippers may walk slowly through plants or fungi, and even fire missiles or
spells through them without causing harm. Fedhas grants powers to temporarily
grow a menagerie of plant allies whose strength and duration increase with
Invocations skill. Worshippers may grow a protective wall of briar patches as
well as ballistomycetes that fire damaging spores whose explosions confuse
living creatures. Devout followers can overgrow a stretch of solid terrain with
a cluster of plant allies or even summon a mighty oklob plant.
%%%%
Gozag powers

For Gozag, both flesh and spirit are inferior to wealth, and therefore all
monsters are turned to gold upon death. Other monsters may then be briefly
distracted by imaginings of great wealth. Stalwarts can purchase immediate help
in the form of potions, and may also pay to attract shopkeepers into the
dungeon. Particularly well-off adherents may bribe the inhabitants of a branch
of the dungeon to turn a blind eye to their presence, or even to change their
allegiance.
%%%%
Hepliaklqana powers

Hepliaklqana's worshippers are served by a guardian formed from a part of their
life essence, in the shape of their greatest ancestor. This ancestor is at
first remembered as they were at the start of their fabled adventures, but will
advance in skill as their descendant does. Hepliaklqana always allows followers
to recall their ancestor to their side, and, even if the ancestor is destroyed,
Hepliaklqana will call it forth again not long after. Further advancement in
Hepliaklqana's service allows worshippers to restore and strengthen their
ancestor, to swap them with other creatures, and to choose how to remember
their life's talents.
%%%%
Ignis powers

Followers can armour themselves in flame, call a swarm of foxfires against their
foes, or let Ignis' heat lift them to another level of the dungeon. However, the
guttering flames of Ignis' power will only sustain a limited number of
invocations before only flickering embers remain. No matter how depleted, Ignis
will always grant followers resistance to fire.
%%%%
Jiyva powers

Jiyva will gradually fill the dungeon with jellies. These and any other fellow
slimes will rapidly consume nearby items, as well as slowly consuming items from
elsewhere in the dungeon. As they spread slime across more of the dungeon, Jiyva
will grant followers increasingly rapid health and magic regeneration, and will
begin mutating them to better reflect Jiyva's image. Followers will later become
able to call forth acidic ooze from the walls of the dungeon, and to turn
monsters to slime with a touch.
%%%%
Kikubaaqudgha powers

Kikubaaqudgha will enhance servants' necromantic prowess with gifts of
Necromancy spells. Kikubaaqudgha will protect followers from the effects of
necromantic miscasts and death curses, and may even shield them from unholy
torment. Followers can unearth dying wretches as necromantic fodder, and may
invoke the sign of ruin to harm their enemies. Kikubaaqudgha will eventually
allow followers to either receive knowledge of the most forbidden necromantic
magic, or to have their weapon imbued with pain.
%%%%
Lugonu powers

Followers of Lugonu gain powers to depart the Abyss at will, to banish monsters
there, and to flee back inside when needed. Lugonu will also banish nearby foes
if any other god attempts to interfere with their followers. Later, followers
will be able to corrupt the ordered world, opening a gate for creatures
of the Abyss to pass through, and to gate themselves directly into this realm of
chaos. Lugonu will protect followers who unwield weapons imbued with the
distorting energies of the Abyss, and eventually will offer to distort a
follower's melee weapon. Lugonu expects followers to spread unceasing
chaos in the overworld, and as such does not grant piety to worshippers while
they remain in the Abyss itself.
%%%%
Makhleb powers

Makhleb offers followers the ability to unleash bolts of chaotic destruction at
the cost of their own health as well as call in help from powerful (if sometimes
uncooperative) demons. The most devoted of worshippers will eventually be gifted
with knowledge of Infernal Marks, allowing them to ritually brand their own
bodies in exchange for one of the Destroyer's many hellish powers.

Makhleb's powers all come with a price in blood. However, Makhleb will grant
followers renewed health in return for killing beings of all kinds.
%%%%
Nemelex Xobeh powers

The Trickster's followers gain various ways to influence fate when playing
their cards. The effects of the cards will be more powerful with higher piety
and with greater Invocations skill. Later, followers will gain powerful
abilities to manipulate the cards, allowing them to choose one of three drawn
cards, to gain the effects of multiple cards at once, and finally to stack
decks and re-order their contents.
%%%%
Okawaru powers

Followers of Okawaru will gain the ability to temporarily increase their skills
in combat, and, much later, to deal much faster blows. Okawaru will eventually
gift followers with ammunition, weapons and armour. The most favoured of
Okawaru may challenge their foes to honourable single combat.
%%%%
Pakellas powers

Followers of Pakellas do not regenerate their magic power naturally, and are
forbidden from using external means to do so; instead, they are granted
magical energy on killing beings. They may use increasing amounts of magical
energy to strengthen their devices, temporarily granting them additional
power, and can also use their magical energy to recharge their devices.
Sufficiently devout followers will receive new devices from Pakellas, and may
eventually petition Pakellas to personally charge one of their devices beyond
its normal limits.
%%%%
Qazlal powers

Followers of Qazlal are protected from all clouds. As a follower of Qazlal
gains divine favour, they are slowly surrounded by a loud storm. In addition to
generating noise, the storm causes elemental clouds to appear near followers,
blocks attacks, and (for the particularly devout) deflects incoming
projectiles. Qazlal allows followers to incite nature against their foes,
causing a localised natural disturbance or, for particularly devout followers,
a more widespread disaster. Followers of Qazlal eventually gain temporary
resistances after taking damage, and can give life to clouds, turning them into
allied elementals.
%%%%
Ru powers

Ru will offer followers a number of sacrifices as they travel the dungeon. On
accepting these sacrifices, followers will gradually gain an aura of immense
power. This aura will initially cause foes that attempt to harm them to falter
and become stricken with maladies. After making further sacrifices, followers
will be able to draw on this power to restore their health and magic, or to
make a lightning-fast explosive leap. Exceptional sacrificants can unleash
their power in a massive strike against all their foes. Each of the powers of
Ru's sacrificants increases in strength with more piety from more sacrifices.
%%%%
Sif Muna powers

Sif Muna grants followers the ability to rapidly restore their magical energy,
and to forget spells at will, so as to learn new ones. Worshippers can call
upon the Loreminder to help cast any spell they've discovered, even if it's
well beyond their current magical training. Over time, devout followers will
receive spellbooks containing a vast range of spells.
%%%%
the Shining One powers

Followers of the Shining One are surrounded by a halo that reveals their
enemies to them. Followers will gain power by killing evil beings, and with
growing piety their life force will be protected. Followers will gain use of a
divine shield to protect them in battle. Later, they can channel blasts of
cleansing flame that are particularly damaging to unholy beings, and can call
upon powerful divine beings as temporary allies. Highly pious followers may
request the Shining One's blessing upon a weapon. The Shining One will sometimes
grant fervor and protection to any allies a follower leads in the righteous
crusade and even occasionally intervene directly to save a follower's life.
%%%%
Trog powers

Trog offers various powers to help followers in battle. Followers will gain the
ability to go berserk at will, and Trog will extend the duration of their
berserk rage on killing foes. Trog will grant followers the ability to rapidly
heal their wounds while fortifying their willpower, and later the ability to
call in powerful raging allies. Eventually, Trog will gift followers with
weapons, often with antimagic effects.
%%%%
Uskayaw powers

Worshippers of Uskayaw can stomp to damage foes around them, and rapidly move
through a line of creatures while confusing them. When a worshipper's dance
reaches a certain point, Uskayaw will immediately stop all foes so that the
dancer may take a solo. As the dance continues, Uskayaw will link the emotions
of foes, forcing them to share their pain. The duration of these effects will
increase with Invocations skill, and as long as the intensity of the dance is
sufficient they may be repeated after a short time. If the dance continues
further, Uskayaw allows worshippers to end it by melding with and then
violently exploding from a foe, killing it instantly.
%%%%
Vehumet powers

Worshippers of Vehumet will quickly be able to recover their magical energy
upon killing beings. As they gain favour, they will also gain enhancements to
their destructive spells — first assistance in casting such spells and then
increased range for conjurations. Vehumet will offer followers the knowledge of
increasingly powerful destructive spells as they gain piety.
%%%%
Wu Jian powers

Disciples of the Council learn to perform three martial techniques while moving
around in combat. They will also be taught to move at unfathomable speeds for
short distances, and become able to summon a storm of golden clouds to increase
their precision and damage for as long as they keep using martial attacks.
%%%%
Xom powers

To worship Xom is to live riskily. In a good mood Xom may shower worshippers
with gifts, while at other times this capricious god could decide to “spice
things up a little” and send worshippers to their doom. If such toys of Xom
prove to be interesting, so much the better; if not, well, there'll be other
playthings...
%%%%
Yredelemnul powers

Followers of Yredelemnul carry the Black Torch, allowing them to gather souls
and surround themselves in darkness. They can raise foes who die in the light of
the torch as mindless servants, hurl torchlight to scour the living and empower
the dead, and bind especially noteworthy souls to fight for them in death with
the full capacities they held in life. Especially devout worshippers can even
call down the inescapable grip of the Fallen directly, binding foes helplessly
in place as the very life is sucked from them. Yredelemnul will also dispatch
undead servants to aid followers at the start of each new conquest.
%%%%
Zin powers

Zin grants followers the ability to preach to the unenlightened masses, and
powers to vitalise their bodies, protecting them from various afflictions.
Later, followers gain the ability to imprison their foes temporarily. Followers
can eventually find temporary safety in a divine refuge. As piety grows,
followers will be protected from mutation and the Hells, and Zin may even
occasionally directly intervene to save a follower's life.
%%%%
Ashenzari wrath

Those who abandon Ashenzari will immediately have their curses shattered,
destroying whichever items they imbued with divine wisdom. Thereafter,
Ashenzari's wrath is constant and unrelenting for its duration. Victims will
find their skills impaired, and their enemies divinely guided – never losing
track of them, never ending the hunt.
%%%%
Beogh wrath

Blasphemers against the word of Beogh find themselves assaulted by waves of
orcish warriors, or by dancing electric weapons. Beogh may also simply smite
such blasphemers – and when smiting true sinners, Beogh has a heavy hand
indeed! Those who still worship Beogh will also find their followers regularly
deserting them.
%%%%
Cheibriados wrath

Offenders against Cheibriados will find their movements remain slow while
the attention of Cheibriados remains upon them, and may have any magical hasting
stripped away. They may also become further slowed, be put to sleep, or be
beset by the unparalleled volume of the inevitable passage of time ringing
throughout the Dungeon.
%%%%
Dithmenos wrath

When angered, Dithmenos turns the shadows against victims. Monsters emerge from
the darkness, both illusions woven from shadow and the very shadow themselves
turning against sinners. Dithmenos' subtle punishments are, if anything, more
dangerous: victims find the shadows ripped away from them, hunted with nowhere
to hide; or find themselves smothered in shadow and sleeping, perhaps forever.
%%%%
Elyvilon wrath

Elyvilon is not a god known for wrath. Still, those earning Elyvilon's ire will
find the Healer occasionally protecting their foes from their attacks, and even
from death.
%%%%
Fedhas wrath

Those who offend Fedhas will find the forces of nature invoked against them
through a dramatic increase in greenery. They may find themselves transmuted
into the plants they have forsaken, or surrounded by impenetrable walls of
briars plus vicious acid-spitting oklob plants.
%%%%
Hepliaklqana wrath

Hepliaklqana believes that the only reasonable punishment for turning one's
back on the path of memory is to be denied its use. All new experience is
denied to the unfortunate apostate, until Hepliaklqana decides they have
been punished enough. The life essence sacrificed to manifest an ancestor will
not be returned until Hepliaklqana is mollified, and this will not be quick:
unlike some, Hepliaklqana has a long memory.
%%%%
Gozag wrath

The first of Gozag's punishments is commercial: all shops opened through
Gozag's intervention shut their doors forever. The disloyal are advised to
finish their shopping before they launch their betrayal. For as long as Gozag
remains angered, ex-worshippers may sometimes be bedazzled by the glint of coin,
and their potions will have a chance to fail when quaffed. Any foes that are
encountered may also be granted potions of their own to assist them against
those who resign from Gozag's service.
%%%%
Ignis wrath

The wrath of Ignis is now weaker than that of most other gods. Apostates will
find their resistance to fire stripped away completely, and will be periodically
assaulted by fire elementals, find their enemies strengthened by fire, or even
have the floor burned out from beneath them. Experienced and cautious
adventurers will likely overmaster these assaults.
%%%%
Jiyva wrath

Jiyva's vengeance is swift and gurgling. All slimes turn against those who
offend Jiyva, and Jiyva ensures a plentiful supply of further slimes. Victims,
too, will find their own bodies becoming unstable; acquiring debilitating
mutations or contamination, as well as having any gifts of slime mutations
stripped away from them.
%%%%
Kikubaaqudgha wrath

Kikubaaqudgha's wrath brings forth all the dread powers of necromancy. Victims
may witness the devastating Sign of Ruin form upon themselves, or both doomed
and drained without any respect for their negative energy resistance.
Furthermore, Kikubaaqudgha's gifts become tainted: the dead rise again as foes,
and those that attempt to use necromantic magic to fend off wrath will find it
backfiring on them when least expected.
%%%%
Lugonu wrath

Lugonu's ire renders the barrier between reality and the Abyss weak and
permeable. Space warps, hurling victims across the dungeon, or even directly
into the Abyss. Lugonu also reaches out and sends the chaotic inhabitants of
the Abyss against victims, with veteran adventurers facing the greatest horrors
of the Abyss. Lugonu does not forgive easily, and will not allow ex-worshippers
to rejoin the fold while Lugonu's wrath still lasts.
%%%%
Makhleb wrath

Those who invite the fury of Makhleb are buried in demons and destruction.
The greatest punishments are reserved for the strongest sinners; crystal spears
and Executioners are hurled with abandon only at those Makhleb finds truly
deserving!
%%%%
Nemelex Xobeh wrath

Those who abandon Nemelex Xobeh have all of their gifted decks revoked
immediately. They are also regularly forced to draw from the deck of
Punishment, inflicting a range of unpleasant effects including draining,
torment and polymorphing, as well as calling upon other gods to assist in
inflicting wrath.
%%%%
Okawaru wrath

Okawaru's most vicious warriors are sent against rebellious servants. Novices
find themselves swarmed by packs of ogres and gnolls, while champions are
surrounded by titans and elvish blademasters.
%%%%
Pakellas wrath

Those that offend Pakellas will find themselves completely unable to make use
of their devices for the duration of Pakellas' displeasure. Those who abandon
Pakellas altogether will also continue to be unable to regenerate their magical
power so long as Pakellas' attention remains on them.
%%%%
Qazlal wrath

Qazlal's wrath is swift and unmistakable. Sinners are stripped of their
resistances and assaulted by furious elemental creatures, and Qazlal will
create mighty thunderclaps to alert their foes.
%%%%
Ru wrath

Those who leave Ru's service will not receive any further punishment; however,
their piety will be lost even upon rejoining, and their sacrifices remain
forever.
%%%%
Sif Muna wrath

Those in Sif Muna's ill graces find the very forces of magic rebelling against
them. They are confused and stupefied, their magical reserves drained, their
enchantments unravelled. Casting spells, too, becomes unreliable – and even
dangerous.
%%%%
the Shining One wrath

The Shining One's wrath is straightforward and unmistakable. Its victims find
themselves smitten with holy fire and beset with holy warriors. Sinners will be
silenced, and the Shining One will also shout to alert the victim's foes.
%%%%
Trog wrath

Trog's wrath is incandescent. Offenders find themselves swarmed by berserkers –
from packs of bears to, for the most powerful, mobs of giants and trolls.
Otherwise, those who anger Trog will regularly lose both their strength and
self-control as they thoughtlessly thrash in place.
%%%%
Uskayaw wrath

Uskayaw's wrath turns the powers of the dance against the offender. The prude
will find their foes going berserk and will be forced to helplessly watch as
foes execute their own solos. When the dance is getting too slow, Uskayaw will
cause noise to attract more revellers.
%%%%
Vehumet wrath

Those that anger Vehumet find destruction amply heaped upon them. Novices are
struck by flame and frost; archmages by crystal spears and firestorms. Their
own conjurations, too, are wont to misfire at the worst possible moments.
%%%%
Wu Jian wrath

Those who turn against the Council must be prepared to endure death by a
thousand cuts. No hiding place is secure, no disguise perfect enough to avoid
the sudden spring of traps, the flying daggers and the armies of animated
weapons that will ambush the betrayer.
%%%%
Xom wrath

Unfaithful ex-followers will find themselves suffering through Xom's bad moods
for so long as Xom can be bothered to remember about them. Still, Xom's caprice
remains; the unfaithful are rewarded just as the faithful are punished.
%%%%
Yredelemnul wrath

Those who anger Yredelemnul find themselves beset by legions of the dead.
Sometimes, the god will also intervene directly, binding the unfaithful in
inescapable chains as Yredelemnul's dark army demonstrates the price of
betrayal.
%%%%
Zin wrath

Those under Zin's wrath will find their beneficial mutations stripped away,
their enemies alerted, and their senses confounded by the axioms of Law;
confusion, fainting, blindness and complete paralysis will be their lot.
%%%%
