-=== The Shrine of Decay ===-
Morgion, the Blackwind, is a god of secrecy. He spends much of his time
working alone in his decaying, bronze tower on the edge of the Abyss. This
endless planning, and refusal to socialize with other gods makes Morgion
one of the most feared gods throughout Krynn. He is also feared due to his
relentless obsession with the spreading of death, decay and destruction.
The few people unfortunate enough to encounter this reclusive god see a
rotting humanoid corpse with a goat's head. His great distrust that rivals
Sargonnas's makes Sargonnas his second worst enemy. Mishakal is his worst
enemy, her healing removes diseases, plague, and decay from the world,
eliminating the destruction that Morgion eternally plots.
After spending many years in seclusion and secrecy, Morgion began to lose
his grasp on the mortals of the world. Meanwhile, other gods, such as
Takhisis and Sargonnas, were gaining more power. This disgusted Morgion and
he decided that it was time to create a powerful force for himself within
the mortal realms. This force would establish an immense fear of Morgion on
Krynn by spreading disease into society through deadly curses and spells.
Morgion erected a decaying temple somewhere on Krynn in which mortal
followers who are permitted entrance to his shrine can reside. He also
grants those mortals with the tattoo of a half-decayed goat's head, to
symbolize his power of decay, disease, and the plague.
The foremost purpose of Morgion's shrine is to spread disease throughout
the world, creating unrestrained decay and pain. The shrine also possesses
numerous rules that are specific and detailed; however, in accordance with
the views of Morgion, these rules remain a secret to anyone who is not a
member of the shrine.
Those wishing to be granted entrance to the Shrine of Decay will go through
many trails in order to prove their devotion to Morgion. All assessments will
be specific to each individual.
