Pelraxxus (Pel-rax-sus)

“The Corrupted”

Chaotic Evil God of Disease, Greed and Pestilence

Role

Pelraxxus is the bloated god of gluttony, disease and greed. He is also lord of slimes and spiders and all manner of dark aberrations that haunt the dark places of the world. He rules over all wanton hunger, greed and evil pestilence.

Dogma

Pelraxxus teaches his followers that corruption of one's body by excess, disease and ritualistic desecration are but tributes to the dark god himself and should be enjoyed. Pelraxxus teaches all in excess, nothing in moderation. If you want something, if you hunger for it you take it. And that disease and pestilence are the only true state of anything in the world. Health and wellness are but abominations.

Depiction

Pelraxxus is most often depicted as a bloated mass of flesh that has been twisted, desecrated and pierced in every way imaginable. Sometimes he is depicted as a obscenely obese noble who is carried aloft by servants and is constantly eating.

Relations

Pelraxxus has good relations with Chas-Rim and Kaleera who both share his desire to bring suffering and pain to the world. Although not opposed to his destruction Pelraxxus does not have good relations with Kyrisor as his fire tends to cleanse the disease Pelraxxus intends to spread. Pelraxxus is at odds with Erokris and Deidren who both wish to cleanse the contagion he spreads and is at odds with most of the other good aligned deities.
