Silgoth

<--The Many
==Sin God of Envy==
Some ask what is there to want when the gods already grant them so much; those are not the followers of Silgoth. Silgoth's devout are often mistaken for those of Maepheles or Daediles but care should be taken to differentiate them; the greedy want to own everything, the gluttonous want to devour everything; the envious want only what they don't have. Envy is not greed nor gluttony, though such feelings are not mutually exclusive.
Many mortals never find pride in themselves, forever they are tortured by the desire to be others or to live the lives that others live. The devout of the gods that scholars label as 'righteous', like Idega and Ordos, preach that only love of oneself can provide true peace; but Silgoth offers an alternative to the practices of those gods. Silgoth embodies the desire to be what one can never be and to have what one can never have, she is in that way both love and hate. It is this very hatred of oneself, and love of what others have that leave her worship in the realm of sin.
Silgoth is a god who invokes a mixed reaction from those who study her. Some view the god of envy as a hateful, covetous god; which she is; and others view the god of envy as a righteous, generous god; which she also is. She is the sovereign deity of the Silgothans, who view themselves so deeply as her children that her name has been taken as their own, not without reason. The Silgothans are born to a bastard world without a sun, at the very core of their being is a coveting of the sky.
Is it not then only equality that they seek? Equality that their god promises them? Silgoth is a goddess of equal reward, but what is revolution without the heads of kings; there is no reward without punishment.
