Ghosts of Zinvar

Goddess of Darkness

Goddess of Darkness, It is said Orgiana escaped the purge of Dark Gods during the Wars of Dominion. She alone escaped back to Charón, while the others were imprisoned, banished to one of the Outer Planes (a place known as the ‘Black Hel’), or utterly destroyed. She is cruel beyond belief and delights in pain. She has a particular loathing for men, and her cults are most frequently made up of females who torture and kill the males of their species.
 

Goddess of Beauty

The Dancer is a lovely woman with fair skin and four arms. She vies with Moralis for the attention of the weak, seducing those who cannot control their lusts. Cults of Inis are invariably devoted to youth, beauty, and the carnal pleasures. This includes any number of perversions, most of them unspeakable. Her servants infiltrate cultures and
bring about their downfall through the violence brought about by vanity, jealousy, and lust. 

Inis is also a warrior, a formidable opponent in combat, wielding four curved knives with her four arms in a whirling dance of
death.
 

God of Magic

Kesh’ta is the master of magic, signs, and symbols. It is said the Dark God is relatively reclusive and has no desire to dominate others. In fact, many do not consider him  ‘evil.’  But in some ways, he is still the most dangerous of the Dark Gods. His followers are scholarly men and women, devoted to learning and copying ancient texts, and to master the arcane arts. Among these, they count the mastering of Demons and the control of Gates and Portals. Unfortunately, their experimenting disrupts the Essænce balance and is causing constantly increasing access to the Shadow World by more unpleasant creatures. 

God of Wisdom, Lord of Cats

The Lord of Cats is an interesting character, being most wise and less single-minded than some of his dark brethren. He is lord of numerous cat cults on Kulthea, and has a certain twisted sense of humor when dealing with his minions or their foes. Like a cat, he will toy with his prey before finishing it off.
 

God of War

Z’taar is one of the more terrifying Dark Gods, partly because he seems almost mindless in his pursuit of followers and
the destruction of his enemies. A fearsome warrior, he wields the Slayer with a grim vengeance. He is the dark champion of Charón, though he will rarely enter battle on behalf of any other God. Z’taar’s cults are always oriented towards warfare and dominating less martial cultures. 

God of Night

The bringer of Night (and nightmares), Scalû come in nightmares of particularly terrifying visage, that of a hybrid of man and black hyena. Scalû is the immortal enemy of Reaan, as the Lord of Orhan also claims the night as his realm and dreams as his playground.

God of Lust and Pain

The self-described ‘God of Love’ is one of the more twisted of the Dark Gods. It is said that he often takes the form of a very handsome blond young man, virile and charming — though he sometimes assumes female guise, equally beautiful. Tales say he visits Kulthea to seduce young women and men, and once he has them in his thrall, he takes them to his palace in the caverns of Charón where he keeps them as slaves. 

Moralis’ followers differ from Inis’ in that they are more self-obsessed and masochistic. Their orgies end with many of them dead.   Moralis is often accompanied by an entourage of beautiful Procreator demons. Priests of his religion will sometimes summon these creatures as part of a special ritual to honor Moralis.
 

God of Death

The lizard-god is the God of Death, also known as the Soul-taker. Klysus is the immortal enemy of Eissa. While she is the Goddess of Death as well, hers is a clean ending, with the release of the soul. Klysus’ death is a tortured sacrifice, where he drinks the blood and devours the very spirit of the dead.
