And everyone wise pays tribute to him.[hq]Morgaire, God of corrupt power, abused authority, and twisted rules Alignment: Evil Symbol: A blood-spattered crown, or occasionally a badge. Depiction: a handsome but indifferently cruel man, usually just past the youthful fresh blush of early adulthood, but not fully into middle age.       Morgaire is the god of lawyers who bend the law to serve their clients, sheriffs who use their authority to enrich themselves or their patrons, and ultimately Kings who betray their trust to be the guardians of their nation and their people, but instead cruelly oppress and take perverse advantage of their subjects.       Also looked at as the patron of the “powers behind the throne”, those who twist and corrupt the course of power from privileged but out of sight positions near the seat of power. Or who give false advice to their patrons.       Morgaire's worship extends well past the schemers and the power-hungry. Any person in authority who wishes to remain true to their ethics and responsibilities pays him homage to avoid being tempted or led astray. And many with little or no power pay tribute to Morgaire to keep his gaze averted from their leaders, or simply those who hold power over them. It is an ironic twist on his very nature that those of good heart are compelled to honor him to avoid corruption, but too much honor paid to one so foul can also corrupt.       The study of his worship and influence is often a key part of the training of young Paladins to help them understand the moral and ethical pitfalls they may face.[/hq]</blockquote>
