Daluzin, god of lies and deceit

Daluzin is the son of Kalusi and Zohronox, and he embodies lies, betrayal, and deceit. He revels in every lie told, every deceitful action, and every betrayal committed, even those of the divine persuasion. He does everything he can to encourage these actions, attempting to get gods and mortals alike to betray, lie, or deceive each other; he works with his mother, taking advantage of her hate-mongering to foment his ugly trade.

Religion and Dogma:

Daluzin temples are not easily found in most cities or settlements; most of the time, they can be found underground or posing as other establishments: a bar, a general store, or an orphanage. They can be shrines or temples in their own right, and they are filled with fake doors, trap doors, sliding walls, and other easily concealed contraptions to hide what they truly are. It is not uncommon to find snakes around these temples.

Daluzinite priests hide their true natures behind smiles and ready handshakes, welcoming in their potential marks with their charisma and guile, but they always have one hand behind their back clutching a dagger. They work to bring down alliances, destroy marriages, and undo friendships, and they can typically be found among the ranks of thieves’ guilds and other dark alliances.

Daluzin created the yuan-ti, and they know him as Ssurath, the Dark Serpent; he heads the triumvirate of their gods, with his mother as Yithnish, the Lady of Sorrows, and Zohronox is known as Zyx, the Empty Fang.

His symbol is a snake with a head on each end, and the heads are facing one another, mouths open and fangs out, as if ready to strike. The body of the snake is coiled around the blade of a dagger, and the snake heads face off above the pommel.

Appearance:

Regardless of the race he chooses to appear as, his skin is quite pale, and he has the eyes and tongue of a snake, and like his mother, he has hair as black as pitch and orange eyes. He also favors appearing as a two-headed snake with black scales and orange eyes, and in this form enjoys confusing his prey by speaking with both heads in different ears, further confusing them into doing something foolish.
