The Cry in the Dark
The holy text of Worgoth, the Wolf at the Door, The Cry in the Dark reflects the nihilistic, bleak and relentlessly ruthless philosophy of Worgoth and its followers, leaving little room for concepts like kindness or optimism.
The text discusses the arbitrary callousness with which the Wolf at the Door bestows mercy or misfortune. Sometimes Worgoth allows someone to live where they otherwise would have died, or bestows bad luck to bring someone back to square one when they thought they'd found a way out. Even the oracles and prophets that the Wolf at the Door chooses to bestow visions or curses to are seemingly down to random chance rather than Worgoth's preference or the individual's beliefs or actions. The fates of those the text follows are pointless, cruel and random.
The text talks about the nature of the Doorstep, Worgoth's shadowy, fanged realm that symbolises closeness to incroaching ruin and destruction. For the Wolf to be at the Door is a concept used by those living paycheck to paycheck to describe their dire circumstances, only just holding on without their destitution becoming completely unsurvivable. The text describes that although the Wolf can be found at any door, there are some things that keep the Wolf at bay, most notably silver and gold, since the wealthy can more easily buy their way out of distress. Worgoths avatars are described as being vulnerable to silver weaponry.
The bitter reality that the text describes is that Worgoth is almost always at the doors of the poor and destitute and only occasionally, when people are unlucky or Worgoth is very clever, do richer people find the wolf at their door.
