Flurgitim
Whereas most true gods have lesser gods to support them, Flurgitim does it all themselves. The thousands of tribes across the globe all worship Flurgitim, partly due to how flexible a figure she is. Where other gods have lesser gods to rule over various domains like war, healing, knowledge and such, Flurgitim just has a thousand hats. During war, goblins worship Flurgitim the Warrior. When goblins get sick, they pray to Flurgitim the Medic. Flurgitim the Farmer watches over agriculture, Flurgitim the Sailor rules the seas, Flurgitim the Soulwarden reincarnates goblins. Each aspect has an epithet to denote how they’re being worshiped, but it’s all Flurgitim. This flexibility makes it easy for any two tribes of goblins to have wildly different depictions of Flurgitim, but then each go “Oh that’s just Flurgitim in a different role” when they meet. Some goblins have even suggested that the gods of other races are just Flurgitim, though this theory has been soundly rejected by essentially everyone. While usually presenting feminine, Flurigitim takes advantage of the nonbinary nature of the gods more than most, flipping between male and female at her whim. This is partly due to her chaotic tendencies, and her love of being a little gremlin at every opportunity. Despite this love of chaos, she takes her job very seriously, never letting her mischief get in the way of leading her goblins.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Flurgitim's main holy symbol is that of a silhouetted goblin head with a sharp toothed grin, but to represent her various aspects, goblins often modify the symbol to evoke the specific version of Flurgitim they want to call on. The warrior Flurgitim may have a battle helm, the scholarly Flurgitim could have glasses or a wizard hat, the Flurgitim of agriculture might have a straw hat, or have crops growing out of the head. Different tribes also have different symbols for these aspects, a polar goblin tribe may depict her Storm aspect with icicles dangling from her ears, while an urban tribe may depict her ears as lightning bolts. The base symbol remains the same however, divinely inspired by Flurgitim herself.
Tenets of Faith
Because goblins rely on numbers to survive, Flurgitim preaches teamwork, trusting your fellow goblins and working for the betterment of the tribe. The dozens of aspects of Flurgitim work together in perfect sync and most goblins strive for that level of coordination. However, Flurgitim is also an absolute gremlin, and bestows that love of chaos onto her followers as well.
