Loongam god of Plauges
Loongam, god of plagues, is a feared and evil god, and one of the few direct children of Khabris god of Darkness and Death. Worship of Loongam is forbidden in most nations, and his followers are often hunted or shunned. Those who dare seek his favor gain powers tied to sickness, pestilence, and dread, but such bargains always come at a terrible price. Once a mortal chemist named Porter, Loongam was chosen by Khabris for his dark knowledge of poisons and disease. Now a god, he appears clad in muted green robes, wearing a plague doctor mask, his flesh blackened and rotting, with chains cinching his belt.
