SUSUZLUK HISSI (sue-suhz-luke hiz-zigh)
The Parched God
Demigod
Symbol: An empty goblet
Home Plane: Material Plane
Alignment: Lawful evil
Portfolio: Drought, death, insanity, greed, conquest
Worshipers: Conquerors, the undead, those driven by avarice or psychopathy
Cleric Alignments: LE, NE
Domains: Death, Destruction, Evil, Fire
Favored Weapon: Heavy mace
Susuzluk Hissi, deity of droughts, is a fell creature, appearing as a dessicated corpse dressed in the finest of robes and wearing exquisitely wrought gold jewelry. His eyes burn with the maniacal intensity of the desert sun at midday.
Dogma
In ages past, Susuzluk Hissi had a larger following than he does today, but now his cult has dwindled greatly in size. Susuzluk Hissi seeks to destroy all water, transforming all lands into hellish deserts populated with faithful undead servants. Those who do not die from thirst are to be enslaved, toiling until death to erect grand mausoleums to the Parched God.
Those few despicable creatures who serve Susuzluk Hissi do so more out of madness and fear than anything else. His cults are apocalyptic, and his adherents believe it is better to appease the Parched God so as to avoid both death and enslavement, the two outcomes of his ascendance.
Clergy and Temples
Susuzluk Hissi's clerics do not make their presence known nor wear distinctive garb. They live lonely lives in fear of discovery, consorting only with a few of the Parched God's devotees at most. Their time is spent in fevered planning to bring about destruction and to acquire power. Many of the Parched God's clerics are solitary madmen dwelling in desert caves, screaming at the shadows and rending their flesh, preying on any living creature that draws too close.
Susuzluk Hissi does not have temples. His small cult groups meet in secret, forsaken places. These unholy sites are guarded by the undead. No one visits the abode of the Parched God's followers on anything unless on a mission of destruction or to offer himself up to Susuzluk Hissi as a willing sacrifice to hasten the Eternal Drought.
