Torganarathu Demigods & Deities

Deity Pogenethro Lord of The Evil Realm

Pogenethro, the dark and malevolent deity, reigns over the Evil Realm with an iron grip. His dominion is a place of hatred, loathing, death, and destruction, where malice and fury are celebrated virtues. Pogenethro embodies the darkest aspects of the world of Toraganarathu, and his presence casts a shadow over all who dare to tread the path of wickedness.

Appearance: Pogenethro takes on a fearsome and grotesque form. He appears as a man clad in obsidian-black armor that covers his entire body. His face is concealed behind a menacing visor, rendering his countenance unreadable. A mane of jet-black hair spills out from beneath his helmet, adding to his eerie and imposing presence.

Domains: Pogenethro's domains encompass:
Hatred: Pogenethro is the embodiment of hatred in all its forms, from personal vendettas to the deep-seated enmity that fuels wars and conflicts.

  • Death: Pogenethro revels in death and the suffering it brings. He is the patron of necromancers and those who seek to extend their dark influence over the realm of the deceased.
  • Destruction: Pogenethro takes pleasure in the ruination of all that is good and beautiful. His followers often leave trails of devastation in their wake, whether in the form of razed villages or despoiled landscapes.

Teachings: Pogenethro's teachings emphasize the following principles:

  • Embrace Hatred: Followers of Pogenethro are encouraged to nurture and harness their hatred, seeing it as a source of power and motivation.
  • Pursue Death: Death is not to be feared but to be courted and embraced, for it is the ultimate expression of Pogenethro's will.
  • Wield Destruction: Pogenethro's followers are taught to revel in the act of destruction, believing that through chaos and annihilation, true power is achieved.
  • Inflict Malice: Malice and cruelty are virtues in the eyes of Pogenethro. His disciples take pleasure in causing suffering and misery.

Symbols: Pogenethro's symbols include a twisted, jagged blade, a blackened skull wreathed in flames, and a serpent consuming its own tail. These symbols represent the domains of hatred, death, and destruction.

Worship: Worship of Pogenethro is often marked by dark rituals, sacrificial offerings, and acts of violence. His followers seek to prove their devotion through acts of cruelty and malevolence.

Festivals: The Feast of Torment is a sinister celebration dedicated to Pogenethro. It is a time of great suffering and agony, where his followers revel in tormenting others to honor their malevolent deity.

Divine Intervention: Pogenethro is known to intervene in the mortal realm by sowing discord, instigating conflicts, and granting dark powers to those who pledge their souls to him. His interventions often lead to widespread suffering and chaos.

Pogenethro stands as a stark and terrifying reminder of the capacity for darkness within the world of Toraganarathu. In a land where dragons and deities vie for influence, his malevolent presence serves as a constant threat to peace and order, and those who worship him are bound by their devotion to the forces of evil and destruction.
