Mammon

Lord of Greed, the Golden God, Master of Wealth, Lord of Coinage, Greed, Hoarding, and Treasures, Patron God of Miners and Unscrupulous Merchants

Mammon is an enormously fat devil with golden skin, horns, and a mouth capable of the widest smile, able and willing to devour the world. His clawed hands can hold enormous barrels, chests, and even entire treasuries; he wears jeweled rings, necklaces, bracers, and multiple crowns of gold, mithral, and diamonds.

Mammon’s greed and lust for more, more, and yet more are unbounded and unstoppable. No matter how great the offerings given to him, he always looks to the next.

Tenets of Faith

All those who lust after wealth are Mammon’s faithful, but his creed is especially common among humans, dwarves, and dragons. A coterie of gilded devils pursue his goals throughout the world.

Coinage, wealth, and yet more wealth! The corruption of officials, greater trade through bribery and false dealing, and the increase in temple treasuries through any means necessary. Each day grow richer, and make sacrifices to Mammon, and learn how to profit from others through fair means or foul.

Shrines to Mammon are rarely public, but instead hidden in counting houses and merchant’s residences, in the halls of treasurers and dwarven misers, and even in the vaults and mints of kings.
