Can this be used to flesh out that Caraigh Shrine or is it a short cause on a long list? Asking because I'm still looking for both the 3.0 and 3.5e manuals that mention him to make it 'canon'. Sorry..things are a bit hectic on this side of the keys. Dogma Promise your soul to Orcus, eat of his flesh and drink of his blood, and through him you will gain life everlasting. Mercy is a luxury that none are worthy of; suffering and torment are the fuel that will empower Orcus' ascent. The worshipers of Orcus will overwhelm the world in a tide of undeath and even the gods will perish. Clergy 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. Rituals 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. Holy Days The holy days of Orcus are the nights of the new moons and 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. Wand of Orcus The Wand of Orcus is a powerful artifact. This skull-tipped wand has the ability to automatically slay any living creature it touches. The Wand is highly coveted across the planes, and Orcus sometimes lets it fall into the hands of mortals in order to allow them to wreak chaos and evil. The Wand of Orcus is currently thought to be in the possession of a cult called the "Lurkers In Shadow." The Orcusword The Orcusword was Orcus's personal weapon when he was still a balor. It is currently held in Tchian-Sumere, Orcus's fortress on the Negative Energy Plane |

Because there's a statue to him who's only dogma bio reads "something about undeath no doubt" Considering the entire temple ruins and shrine of unholy glory surrounding the Orcus shrine...that just seems a bit empty for him. It. Either way, it was more for the short Dogma addition that most of the shrines on Amia seem to have on them. Orcus is the only one with a seemingly ooc-ish description on him. Also I'm not sure because I'd have to look through the threads to see where it was mentioned that there hadn't been a chance to update his bio/descript due to lack of info on him. I could be very wrong but since there is an attempt to push some RP on Caraigh, the dogma there would be handy to "uncover beneath layers of caked blood and dust of ages gone by" kind of thing. |

Ahh, if there is already a statue there, then. |
