Few of them literally worship Khyber, or a daelkyr or rajah by its proper name. As has been discussed in a few places, while some cults seek to release powers from the depths, others simply see Khyber as a promised land... typically believing that passage to that paradise must be earned with blood. So on the one hand you have the creepy Marcher family who like to drug guests and feed their paralyzed bodies to the gibbering mouther in the basement in pursuit of this goal... not so good. But I could easily see a CG warlock or barbarian who engages in extreme violence in the belief that he's earning his passage to Khyber's gilded heart - but who only fights evil-doers and villains. He's a good guy; he just has a strange and irrational motivation underlying his noble actions (give him a moment and he'll happily tell you about the bone orchards and the chromatic orchestras of the city within the earth, and how he hopes to be reunited with his grandparents in the gallery of bloody memories), and a proclivity for violence. Now I want to play him! Darn it!</blockquote>
