![[MaglubiyetPic.png]] # Maglubiyet *God, God of Goblinoids and War | Goblinoid pantheon | Acheron* ## Summary [[Maglubiyet]], the Mighty One, is the chief deity of goblinoids and the god of war, conquest, and tyranny. He rules over goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears with an iron fist, demanding absolute obedience and encouraging endless warfare. His symbol is a bloody axe, and he teaches that might makes right, that the strong should dominate the weak, and that battle is the highest form of worship. [[Maglubiyet]] despises weakness and cowardice above all else, rewarding his followers for acts of brutality and conquest. He seeks to unite all goblinoid tribes under his banner to wage eternal war against their enemies. [[Maglubiyet]]'s influence corrupted [[Reese]] through the [[Bloodsword]] at [[Cragmaw Castle]], forcing the normally compassionate warrior to complete a ritual sacrifice. The god's power also flows through [[Gorzak Redmaw]], the hobgoblin warlord who wields [[Redfang]] and serves [[Zaltimar]]'s army. An ancient shrine to [[Maglubiyet]] was discovered in the castle's depths, where goblins had defiled an elven holy site and rededicated it to their war god. [[Gorzak Redmaw]] sees [[Reese]] as an apostate who was touched by [[Maglubiyet]]'s power but rejected it, making him worthy of divine punishment.
