Nihlus

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Title: Emperor of the nine hells

Goal: To take over the mortal planes and the heavenly planes.

Afterlife: The soul of a worshipper is sent to the nine hells where they must work their way up to join Nihlus' infernal army.

Worship: Group prayer and sacrifice. Sacrifices are common during a demon (or angel) binding ritual, some priests will even perform a sacrifice before an important battle of event. Many demon lords such as Orcus or Demogorgon don't worship him as such but they carry a great deal respect for Nihlus who created the Nine Hells and effectively creating the rest of Demonkind.

Holidays: None.

Family: No restrictions as long as it is kept within the priesthood.

Distinguished by: Dark red robes adorned with a pattern of black fire.

Symbol: A parody of Hastzezini's symbol; a blackened hand carries a dark twisted flame.

Joining the priesthood: The hopeful priest must sacrifice a good-aligned sentient creature in front of the priesthood. After that then the hopeful priest performs a blood pact forever binding his soul to Nihlus.

Virtues: Wrath, obedience, pride

Sins: Temperance, forgiveness

Marriage: Someone who shares a background with at least one of the couple is sacrificed so that the couple's souls can be bound as one to serve Nihlus better. If one person in the marriage is killed then the surviving partner is normally sent into a demonic rage (normally when they are mostly surrounded by innocents or enemies).

Death Rites: Left to rot, after the body is fully decomposed their soul joins the afterlife.
