Malyk

The Dark Mage

Malyk teaches that chaos can never be contained. When order demands that magic be contained or snuffed out, there can be no other course but rebellion. To pray to Malyk is to commit blasphemy against Lolth and betray drow society, but any society that would see its most powerful founts of magic be executed deserves nothing less than destruction. However, Malyk sees no shame in outwardly professing loyalty to Lolth while worshipping him in secret; if anything, the duplicity of the act is all the sweeter.   There are no formal priests of Malyk, and no organized hierarchical church. Instead, elder members of the cult induct younger members in quiet, clandestine ceremonies, teaching them words of invocation to pray to their chaotic god, and instructing them in how to perform proper sacrifices. Everything surrounding Malykian worship is kept secret, as they are constantly under threat of being purged by worshippers of Lolth.   Though Malyk may appeal most to drow men and low-born women, he does not necessarily limit his gifts only to drow. Any sorcerer may make sacrifices in an attempt to draw his favor.
