Mordiggian[1] is the Great Old One of darkness, ghouls, and the voices of the dead.[2]
History
Appearance
Church of Mordiggian
Mordiggian was once the patron of all ghouls, but most of them have since forgotten him and converted to the worship of other death gods. Only pockets of Leng ghouls continue to maintain their ancient rites. Most of Mordiggian's modern followers are humans who deformed themselves to resemble ghouls, and hide these features under silver masks and heavy cloaks.[2]
Mordiggian's temples are either hidden vaults under graveyards, or great mausoleums in positions of prominence in cities. Priests of Mordiggian collect the dead in such cities for free and feed them to Mordiggian in their sacred vaults. Sometimes they are too eager to gather the 'dead', and also take the comatose, despite their potential of recovery.[2][3]
