Gnakz, The Big Basher

Gnakz is the three faced god of all goblinoids, war, fire, and destruction. He is depicted as a disgusting amalgamation of different goblinoid traits with three heads, three arms, and three legs, each representing the three main goblinoid races. Gnakz created the goblinoid races to be used as tools to spread discord among mortals. He is a violent, angry, and greedy god, who wants to claim more power for himself, and overthrow all other deities, as he believes he is better than all of them. Gnakz is one the only gods to have directly created life as he briefly stole the power from the titan Genesis, and used it to create the goblinoids.

Holidays

Gnakz' followers celebrate his three attempts at creating life with three holidays each year. On the Third of Springsend, the third day of the third month, the celebrate the birth of the goblins by creating a large bonfire and celebrating around it. On the Sixth of Summersend, three days and three months later, they celebrate the birth of the hobgoblins with a series of mock battles (though the are frequently still quite lethal), and bragging about various military accomplishments. One the Ninth of Fallsend, another three days and three months later, they celebrate the birth of the bugbears by hunting the most impressive creatures they can find and showing off trophies. All three holidays usually involve a number of sacrifices in Gnakz' name. Despite Gnakz recognizing all three holidays, only the most devout followers regularly follow all three of them. Most of his followers are groups of goblins, hobgoblins, or bugbears, and just celebrate the one related to them. In addition, many of his goblin followers lack accurate calendars, and as a result many of the different tribes seem to celebrate their holidays at completely random times of the year, or just whenever the groups leader feels like it.

There is also one more day that is significant to those who follow Gnakz. On the Twelfth day of Wintersend, Gnakz' followers rampage out against the surrounding areas as a tribute to Gnakz never getting to finish his fourth race. These rampages are particularly deadly, as many of his followers work themselves into a complete bloodlust beforehand.
