Nardule "The Demon Prince" Child-like god of Fear, Tyranny & Suffering.     Nardule - The Infant Devil, the Demon Prince “Serve my family, serve me – and gain the might to crush your enemies” The cruelty of the child-like god, is known far beyond his own following. Nardule is the god of Fear, Hatred, Cruelty and Torment. His whims are that of a wicked child, and his temperament is just as volatile. Home Plane: The Fortress of Storm Shackle Description: History: Portfolio: Evil, Greed, Diabolic, Strength Symbols: Nardule is often represented by a disembodied eye. Followers wear one made of etched marble around their neck. The eye represents Nardule’s ability to act as an overseer of the pantheon of evil while his father remains weakened. It also represents his ability to see the potential in any given person to aid his goals. Nardule can see things in you, things you didn’t know were there. Nardule is also represented by the Worg. A fearsome beast that, much like its master, delights in torture for its own sake and prolonged suffering as its own form of gratification, as well as for its malicious sense of loyalty.

Representing the force of will of their patron. Holy Texts: The Testament of Sorrow’s End: Written by the 6th Hierophant during the War of the Talon, this book was the seed material for the Doctrine of Man. It is a very personal account of a mind slowly being tainted by the will of the dark gods. In it, he details his plans for the Doctrine, and his usurpation of the Cathedral of Light, condemning the virtues of the light as an undermining of the rightful place of mankind. The Doctrine of Man: The book that split the Cathedral of Light from the Mass of the Oracles, the book that exiled a people and formed a new nation devoted to evil. This is still one of the most holy books for all of the evil gods and is referenced in Mirrok to determine everything from law to official governmental policy. Dogma: It is your right to dominate the weak. Take what you can from those too powerless to stop you. Mercy is for the weak. To pause when causing your enemy pain is cowardly and foolish. He would not do the same for you. Smite them all in my name.
