Norgorber (pronounced NOR-gore-ber) is known as a deity of thievery and assassination, as well as a keeper of secrets. He is called the ‘Reaper of the Reputation’ by some, but he has more insidious titles among his other worshipers. He remains an enigma to most, and his true motives are unknown. Many of his own followers remain ignorant of his plans and designs. Norgorber is the only evil aligned ascended god.

Norgorber manifests as what appears to be an ordinary human male dressed in brown and black clothing. However, his face is always either partially or completely obscured.

Aphorisms

Many followers of Norgorber use a mix of key words, double entendre, and nonverbal signals to communicate with fellow believers without attracting the attention of the uninitiated. The following two sayings, however, are common among most of Norgorber’s followers, though they are careful not to utter them around non-believers.

  • With one hand I give: Used as a salutation, this is also a warning – the speaker’s true motivations remain secret, and a gift in one hand may be offset by a threat in the other.
  • I wait for a fair price: Something of little apparent value may have great worth in the right hands or whispered in the proper ear. A person who says this possesses some item or knows some secret that has not yet been deployed to its full potential.

Servants of Norgorber

  • Venomfist – This servant is a water elemental with poisonous powers.
  • Secret Shade – This divine minion of Norgorber is a fiendish shadow, an incorporeal undead creature that drains the essence of living beings.
  • Yellowtooth – Yellowtooth is a wererat rogue that has the power to transform into an entire swarm of rats.

Church of Norgorber

Worshipers of Norgorber are considered cultists by nearly all inhabitants of the Inner Sea. The cult is forbidden in nearly every nation except Absalom, where it is tolerated. The cult is split into four parts, each one focusing on a specific aspect and paying little attention to others. His followers wear masks to identify themselves, and as a symbol of their devotion to the god. Some worshippers wear different masks in order to signify different emotions or signals. The masks themselves are often elaborate, with hinged jaws and coloured lenses. There are cults dedicated to Norgorber in Galt, Nex, Osirion, The River Kingdoms, The Shackles, Taldor, and Varisia and certainly the faith of Gozreh, can be found in all-natural places.

Holy Texts:

  • Seventeen texts, at least, are associated with Norgorber, all of which have code names and are often disguised as unremarkable books.

Holidays:

  • Ascendance Night – 2nd and 3rd of Desnus, his followers celebrate. There is also a more sinister ‘holiday’ that takes place sometime in the middle of winter. An innocent person is kidnapped and made a live sacrifice with the use of poison in celebration of Norgorber’s Ascension.
