The Fates

The Four Fates

Maglubiyet (mahg-loo-BEE-yet) was once revered as the war-chieftain of the gods, but worship of him in this way has fallen out of practice. He is now seen as god of leadership and impartial justice, as well as The Storyteller. Most Goblin places of government (whatever form that takes) have some kind of dedication or shrine to him. Maglubiyet is often depicted as a huge goblinoid as big as the night sky, or is sometimes said to be the night sky depending on the community. Every star in the night sky is a tattoo that Maglubiyet has to represent a story of his heroism and leadership and Tandreal's two moons are his ever vigilant eyes.

Bargrivyek (bahr-GRIV-yek) is seen as the Goddess of community and cooperation, also known as the Peacekeeper. In the early days of goblinkind, she was a symbol of cooperation between Goblin tribes but was also considered their guardian against outside threats. Some communities have erected law enforcement that uses her title or symbols, and almost every settlement has some kind of shrine or temple devoted to her (often in a place associated with community like the town square or a cliff that overlooks the settlement). She is one of the only Goblins deities to be depicted with a ""normal"" form (a giant Goblin of 11ft or so) but the specifics of her actual appearance differ between communities.

Khurgorbaeyag (cur-GORE-bay-ug) Khurgorbaeyag is considered the god of corruption. He is the god of oppression, slavery, and savagery. He is everything the typical Goblinoid community stands against, and most Goblin mythology considers him to have been destroyed and buried in the earliest days of the world by Bargrivyek, which allowed Goblins to become the peaceful and community focused people they are now (though there are plenty of communities that believe he was only defeated and is eternally bound deep under the earth, waiting to rise again). If he is depicted at all, it is like or as a volcano, and most natural disasters are accredited to him even now.

Nomog-Geaya (nuh-MOG GEE-yuh) is the skull-faced goddex of death. Xe is not considered bad or evil, nor good -- xe is truly neutral as death itself. Nomog-Geaya is not often worshiped directly, but all Goblins recognize xer power as a force of nature. Xe is often depicted as tall and gaunt as a dead tree with ashen skin and a skull stripped down to the white bone. Xe has sharp, shark-like teeth and no eyes and is said to never speak. When Nomog-Geaya does open xer mouth, nothing but water flows from it.
