Mammon, Arch-Devil of Greed
In a city where everyone seems to be growing rich,
some can never quite get enough. The arch-devil
Mammon’s worship spreads among the guilds and
the merchants of Zobeck despite all efforts to destroy
it, and they honor him with shrines boasting floors
of hammered coins and bejeweled idols of gold and
silver. The devil of wealth promises Zobeckers exactly
what they want to hear. Indeed, so prevalent is the cult
that any successful businessman soon finds himself
hounded by rumors of a pact with Mammon.
The reality is much less than the rumor, in this case.
Mammon preys on the wealthy of the city, but rarely
does he grant wealth. Rather, he plays on the fears
of those already rich that they might lose their good
fortune, and in this way ensnares them into his vile
service, coupling with devils and abasing themselves to
win the Golden Devil’s favor. Dwarves seem more than
usually tempted by Mammon’s offers to make their
wealth safe and to make it breed.
The Redcloaks and the Sons of Mammon (also called
Levelers) are worshippers of Mammon.
