==The Gods== ===The Devourer=== {{Infobox Deity |Name = The Devourer |Symbol = [[File:Symbol of The Devourer.jpg|150px]] |Aliases = Shargon (Sahuagin), Shurkaan |Alignment = Neutral Evil |Divine Rank = |Pantheon = Eberron (The Dark Six) |Portfolio = Devastation, hunger, nautical travel, storms, water. |Domains = '''3E:''' Cold, Destruction, Evil, Pestilence, Ocean, Water, Weather <br> '''4E:''' Destruction, Sea, Storm <br>'''5E:''' Tempest |Home Plane = |Worshippers = |Favoured Weapon = Trident }} '''The Devourer''' (real name '''Shurkaan'''), Sovereign of Wave and Whelm, is considered the dark side to [[Arawai]], the essence of nature's destructive power. On top of that, he's also the god of the seas and their murky depths, finding him some followers among both the sailors praying for safe voyage and the freaky fishfolk and lizardmen. Some sects allege he raped his sister Arawai and thereby fathered the Fury and prompted the split of the six from the host, but other sects hold otherwise. Unrelated to the [[Starfinder]] deity of the same name. {{clear}} ===The Fury=== {{Infobox Deity |Name = The Fury |Symbol = [[File:Symbol of The Fury.jpg|150px]] |Aliases = Szorawai, the Song of Passion and Rage |Alignment = Neutral Evil |Divine Rank = |Pantheon = Eberron (The Dark Six) |Portfolio = Anger, extremism, insanity, passion, revenge |Domains = '''3E:''' Evil, Liberation, Hatred, Madness, Passion, Wrath <br> '''4E:''' Madness, Vengeance <br>'''5E:''' War |Home Plane = |Worshippers = |Favoured Weapon = Rapier }} '''The Fury''' (real name '''Szorawai'''), Sovereign of Rage and Ruin, is the daughter of Arawai and the Devourer and, instead of representing anything about nature, is instead about [[Slaanesh|being consumed by passion]]. Whether that emotion be love, pride, or unfettered hatred at the restrictive and suffocating society that would rather smother those emotions, she will lend you her aid. In Droaam, the [[harpies]] of the Last Dirge worship the '''Song of Passion and Rage''', which scholars suggest as being an interpretation of the Fury. Most often, the Fury is portrayed as a half-elf, [[drow]], or a snakelike wyrm of [[Khyber]]. {{clear}} ===The Keeper=== {{Infobox Deity |Name = The Keeper |Symbol = [[File:Symbol of The Keeper.jpg|50px]] |Aliases = [[Iborighu]] (Frostfell), Karrak (Giant), Kol Turrant |Alignment = Neutral Evil |Divine Rank = |Pantheon = Eberron (The Dark Six) |Portfolio = Death, entropy, greed, hunger, time |Domains = '''3E:''' Death, Decay, Evil, Greed, Hunger, Pact <br> '''4E:''' Death, Torment <br>'''5E:''' Death |Home Plane = |Worshippers = |Favoured Weapon = Scythe }} '''The Keeper''' (real name '''Kol Turrant'''), Sovereign of Death and Decay, is the closest thing to a grim reaper in Eberron, and he just also happens to be a greedy fuckwad - everything wrong about [[Kol Korran]], his twin brother. He revels in gluttony and hoarding and will not hesitate to take more in his pursuit of greed. This greed even extends to the souls of the dead, [[The Bag|whom he will personally spirit away before they reach Dolurrh]] - a dubious mercy considering the miserable afterlife that is. Because of this, most of the Keeper's devout tend to be necromancers, bringers of death in any way possible without bothering to resurrect them as zombies or some other undead. {{clear}} ===The Mockery=== {{Infobox Deity |Name = The Mockery |Symbol = [[File:Symbol of The Mockery.jpg|150px]] |Aliases = Dol Azur, Dulazurak (Dragon), [[Vulkoor]] (Drow) |Alignment = Neutral Evil |Divine Rank = |Pantheon = Eberron (The Dark Six) |Portfolio = Combat, dishonor, murder, terror, treachery |Domains = '''3E:''' Destruction, Domination, Evil, Illusion, Trickery, War <br> '''4E:''' Trickery, War <br>'''5E:''' Trickery, War |Home Plane = |Worshippers = |Favoured Weapon = Kama }} '''The Mockery''' (real name '''Dol Azur'''), Sovereign of Betrayal and Bloodshed, is the evil brother of Dol Arrah and Dol Dorn and thus represents the evil aspects of both: dishonorable tactics, pointless death, and treachery. Assassins and saboteurs tend to flock to him. It's said that the Mockery was the one who betrayed the Host, and thus was cast out by his own siblings; he's still totally not bitter about it, honest. All those dead or corrupted followers of Dol Dorn and Dol Arrah? They were always there. {{clear}} ===The Shadow=== {{Infobox Deity |Name = The Shadow |Symbol = [[File:Symbol of The Shadow.jpg|50px]] |Aliases = Aureon's Shadow |Alignment = Chaotic Evil |Divine Rank = |Pantheon = Eberron (The Dark Six) |Portfolio = Arcane magic, consequence, corruption, darkness, duality. |Domains = '''3E:''' Chaos, Darkness, Evil, Magic, Mind, Shadow. <br> '''4E:''' Arcana, Darkness <br>'''5E:''' Knowledge |Home Plane = |Worshippers = |Favoured Weapon = Quarterstaff }} '''The Shadow''', Sovereign of Magic and Mayhem, is quite literally [[Aureon]]'s shadow, which he had to cast off in his pursuit for cosmic knowledge. Little did he know that his shadow would later gain sentience and eventually divinity. The Shadow mostly represents wild, uncontrollable magic and the destructive power it has, but it also stands for the dark path of knowledge and how the pursuit of power can corrupt anyone. {{clear}} ===The Traveler=== {{Infobox Deity |Name = The Traveler |Symbol = [[File:Symbol of The Traveler.jpg|150px]] |Aliases = Giver of Gifts |Alignment = '''3E/5E:''' Chaotic Neutral <br> '''4E:''' Unaligned |Divine Rank = |Pantheon = Eberron (The Dark Six) |Portfolio = Chaos, deception, evolution, invention, transformation. |Domains = '''3E:''' Artifice, Celerity, Chaos, Charm, Creation, Liberation, Travel, Trickery <br> '''4E:''' Change, Creation, Trickery <br>'''5E:''' Forge, Knowledge, Trickery |Home Plane = |Worshippers = |Favoured Weapon = Scimitar }} '''The Traveler''', Sovereign of [[Tzeentch|Chaos and Change]], is the least-understood of the Six, but also the least-malign and the most widely-worshipped. Where as the others just take existing concepts and take them a step too far or just corrupted, the Traveler stands for [[Tzeentch|change]], trickery, and inventiveness. Anyone who embraces change can be considered a follower, thus many [[changeling]]s, [[doppelganger]]s, and [[shifter]]s tend to follow his beliefs. So why's he in the Dark Six? Because change is ''dangerous''. It's very destabilizing to civilization, and the Sovereign Host are gods of civilization. Not all destabilizing is inherently bad, the fall of a tyrannical king may lead to a benevolent republic, but only [[Tzeentch]] wants to live in a world where ''everything'' is always changing. And the Traveler doesn't stay in one anything for long: one place, one shape, one mindset. Any knowledge he gives will lead to destabilization, whether forcing the individual to rethink their whole worldview, or forcing all armies everywhere to deal with the invention of explosives and firearms. {{clear}}
