Orcus

Prince of the Undead, Prince of Undeath, The Blood Lord

Orcus is the Demon Prince of the Undead.
Orcus is typically described as having the head and legs of a goat, although with ram-like horns, a bloated body, bat-like wings, and a long tail.
Orcus cares for nothing save himself—not even his devotees and undead servants—and focuses only on spreading misery and evil. One of his most identifiable symbols is the Wand of Orcus, a skull-topped artefact with the power to slay any living being. Orcus also once wielded a powerful artefact known as the Orcusword.
The cult of Orcus is mainly composed of twisted creatures with a morbid fascination with the undead, such as necromancers, as well as creatures deliberately seeking the path to undeath, such as would-be liches and Vampires. They often wear macabre costumes decorated with bones and skulls.

Tenets of Faith

Followers of Orcus are commanded to promise their souls to their demonic patron, to eschew mercy, and to embrace torture and suffering. They are promised that one day Orcus' minions will overwhelm the world in a tide of undeath, and that even the gods will die. Eat of his flesh and drink of his blood, they are urged, and through Orcus you will gain life everlasting.
Clerics of Orcus are in charge of promoting necromancy, pain, torture, undeath, and the destruction of all that is good. They pray for spells at midnight. Their colors are red and black, although bone white is often used as decoration.
Leaders in Orcus's church are called Skull Lords. If they achieve great enough status on their world, they may be invited to the throne of Orcus in person, where they are expected to lead a horde of undead against a material world or one of Orcus' foes. If they succeed in this, they are rewarded with the title of Skull King. If they fail, they are reanimated as liches and imprisoned in the city of Golmin Thur forever.
The vilest ritual in Orcus's already vile faith is the Unhallowing. This ceremony has no set date, but involves sacrificing a paladin to Orcus and creating a self-loathing undead creature from the remains.

Holidays

The holiest day of Orcus is Sunsebb 28, the last day of the year. When a moon is at its darkest, worshipers of Orcus are required to either create an undead creature or to bring a corpse to other Orcus cultists so that an undead creature can be made.
