Salgoroth (Sal-Gore-Roth)
As Doppelt raged against himself, and his children became numbered, both sides of the great serpent noticed an absence, and a presence, and something that seemed to be missing the entire time. Emptiness, the space they all existed in, and something they defined as "sound". And in that instance this combined understanding gave birth to a Peltas God which shaped all of their existences ostensibly. The gods could all hear themselves, and the absence of everything else. They noticed that distance between one another, and the void in which they all seemingly just existed in. Light sources began to dot the empty void, which would come to be known as "Stars".
Made of a coalesced vibrating essence which occupied space, but had holes within it's very being came to be. All of the gods could...hear it speak, and the first words spoke unto the void, were "Salgoroth"
Divine Domains
The god of Space, Emptiness and Sound
Artifacts
When the mortal world was created, legends tell that Salgoroth made a chime, which blessed mortals with sound. None have been able to find it, but rumor says that any who may come into it's possession will gain full control over sound on the mortal planet.
Holy Books & Codes
Salgoroth passed down no holy verses, instead gifting the first of it's followers with the spoken knowledge of the holy words and doctrine. And as their lord would have wanted, this doctrine has been passed down by word of mouth for decades. This was intentional, as Salgoroth knew that over the ages, things would be forgotten. Empty fragments of the holy word drift aimlessly among Salgoroth's consciousness, pleasing it by leaving holes with mortals.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
A distorted music symbol.
Tenets of Faith
Salgoroth's tenets are followed commonly by bards, who seek to make the most glorious of music. But the tenets of Salgoroth can also be held by scholars, anarchists, and terrorists.
1) Spread the beauty of sound, in all of it's forms.
2) Fill not the world with things. Take down that which shackles the body, and obstructs the path. Emptiness is the only true state.
3) Look upon the stars, for they are the beauty of Cali'ebor. They dot the art that is the sky.
4) Lust little for beyond the confines of the planet you inhabit. Accept what mortals were given. One day, when men are ready, they shall explore that which they were never intended.

Holidays
Salgoroth has three holidays that the Kags celebrate.
Taems- A day of music, jeer, and noise, Taems in the common tongue means "The day of noise". During this day, all bards perform whatever work they've worked on, and haven't sang yet. As well, people pick up new instruments, and attempt to learn them, although most people don't fully learn the tool they choose. This holiday is celebrated on Parium (IV) the 11th, which is when it is believed that Salgoroth came into existence in relation to the Hailsoshian calendar.
Tasern- A day of preparation for the beautiful night to come. Kags prepare all day, setting up telescopes and meadowy patches to look up at the stars from. This night is spent honoring the domain of Salgoroth, space, filled with glinting stars. This holiday is celebrated on Parium (IV) the 12th, which is when Kags consider the creation of the stars to have happened. Many acknowledge that the stars formed at the same time as Salgoroths creation, but since the day of the 11th is spent celebrating Taems, they celebrate it the next night instead.
Teere- A day of destruction, Kags walk in a single direction for hours, making pathways in anything that blocks their path. This can either be making doorways of sorts, or destroying whatever is in their way. Often, if Kags live in a society, they are only permitted to celebrate this holiday outside of a cities limits. This holiday is celebrated on Reduith (IX) the 1st, which is believed to be the day that the first Kag communed with Salgoroth.

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Salgoroth takes a form most mortals struggle to interpret. It's body is made of high vibrations, so forceful that they can be seen. It's body cannot be heard by any being, but when it speaks, it sounds like a stern, forceful man, yet no rage fills it's words.
