Dark Six

The six malevolent deities of the Sovereign Host, whose true names are not known.

The Dark Six are a pantheon of six gods cast out of the Sovereign Host. While the Sovereign Host represent positive aspects of life, the Dark Six represent aspects that people shun and fear. The Dark Six represent evil, destruction, and other insidious forces of civilization and nature, with the possible exception of the Traveler.

• The Devourer, the Lord of the Deep Waters
• The Fury, the Lady of Passion and Madness
• The Keeper, the Lord of Death and Decay
• The Mockery, the Lord of Treachery
• The Shadow, the Lord of Corruption
• The Traveler, Master of Cunning

Most worshippers of the Sovereign Host will still offer prayers to the Dark Six, usually in the hopes of avoiding their wrath. A warrior may still offer a prayer to the Mockery to avoid betrayal, and a sailor may offer a prayer to the Devourer before leaving port. In Khorvaire, dedicated worship of the Dark Six is shunned. Those who do are usually devoted to a single god, and are often outcasts or criminals themselves. Droaam is one of the few locations where one can find open worship of the Dark Six.
