Bogzhad

## Incarnations

### God of Obfuscation

Humans view Bogzhad as maybe not a truly evil god, but definitely a chaotic one. They blame him for introducing lies to mortals, to which they believe the world would be a better place without. Bogzhad is respected, and it's normal to pray to him if one is looking for a change in perspective or to find something which has been lost or hidden.

### The Peacock Prince

Hobbits depiction of Bogzhad stands as the odd one out. A Trickster diety of beauty and perception taking the form of a peacock. This colorful god is celebrated with pranks, jokes and trickery. His church also spawned the guild of Cosmetic Sorcerer's, arcanists who practice the art of altering appearances permanently.

Duke of Devils

Most traditional dwarven families despise Bogzhad going so far as to deny his divinity. They believe he was a devil and servant to the Gods, in exchange for his service designing the eyes of the mortals, he is given freedom to roam heaven. He uses this power to trick and decieve mortals, he knows how because he designed their eyes. His greatest trick of all was fooling mortals to believe him to be divine.

Not too long ago there existed a cult of Dwarves who worshipped Bogzhad as a god of truth and clearity. Like the elves They believed he taught us to lie so that we may see through deception, but rather than the lives of other mortals or spirits, he taught us to see through the lies of the gods. They also believe he left mortals the secrets to uncovering the secrets of the universe, inscribed in tiny, microscopic fragments and hidden inside the blood of each living thing. The cult practiced ritual sacrifices and blood letting events, all the while their leader only grew in strength, indicating Bogzhads approval of these vile events.

### Brinjholff Sunchaser, Patron Saint of Stoicism

The is a mountain in the sunscorned isles known for its incredible height, and deadly rocks that await just below the waters surface, it is said that it was once inhabited by a monster known as the Crag Man. The Crag Man spent his days tricking others into leaping off the mountain and killing themselves on the hidden rocks below.

One day The Crag Man met a man who looked like no other he had seen, a foreigner. The foreigner did not recognize the Crag man as a demon, so he decided to have some fun.

"I am an angel of the gods. Your piety shall be rewarded. Leal from this cliff and reach out and touch the sun. You will be rewarded with great power."

The foreigner stepped off the cliff and tumbled to the rocks below. The Crag man shook the entire mountain with his laughter, but then he saw a hand reach over the cliffside. The foreigner, bloody and wounded by the fall, crawled back to the top and walked off again. The Crag man howled again, but when the man returned again... And again and again the laughter stopped.

man was a bloody mess, missing an eye and arm. His bones shattered. The sad sight delighted the Crag Man, who lived to see others suffer, and he got a final devilish idea. To tell the truth.

"I lied to you. Nothing awaits you but a slow and painful death. Your life is wasted and you lay here a broken man. Now bless me with the sweet sound of your anguish."

Tears filled the old foreigners eye, but in a calm voice he simply stated "I am not upset".

The Crag Man shrieked with anger and confusion. He stabbed the man in the leg with his spear.

"scream for me!"

"But it does not hurt."

Another wound. Another demand from the Crag Man and yet, the foreigner claimed that he was not hurt. The Crag Man got angrier and angrier, louder and louder, until all at once, the Crag man clutched his chest and fell over dead.

The people of the sunscorned isles came out to cheer for the foreigner in his victory over the evil monster and when they asked him for what reward they could offer he calmly responded.

"Have you any physicians? I'm in incredible pain."

Some people say, due to the similar names, and shared racial descriptions that Brinjoff Sunchaser was actually the very same King Brynhold, but it's far more likely these are mere coincidences.
