Nomog-Geaya is the hobgoblin deity of War and Authority. His symbol is a crossed longsword and handaxe.
Description
[edit | edit source]Nomog-Geaya appears as a huge, powerful goblin with rough, ash-gray skin, cold orange eyes, and teeth like a shark’s. He almost always has his broadsword in one hand, and his hand axe in the other. He is said to have no expressions other than a grim, tight-lipped look of domineering authority. He is quiet and only speaks when he must.
Relationships
[edit | edit source]Nomog-Geaya is subservient to Maglubiyet, and detests Khurgorbaeyag, the patron deity of goblins.
Realm
[edit | edit source]Maglubiyet allows Nomog-Geaya and Khurgorbaeyag to live in his realm of Clangor on the plane of Acheron, to better keep an eye on them.
Dogma
[edit | edit source]The Five Directives of the Soldiers of the Last Order are:
- Arm yourself with fire and steel.
- Rally all hobgoblin tribes under your banner.
- Hunt elves and goblins and put them to the sword.
- Burn prisoners alive in sacrifice to Nomog-Geaya. Nomog-Geaya will accept no other sacrifice.
- Honor no god above Nomog-Geaya.
Worshippers
[edit | edit source]Nomog-Geaya is the patron deity of hobgoblins, second only to Maglubiyet in hobgoblin religion.
Clergy
[edit | edit source]Associated orders
[edit | edit source]The fanatic, heretical cult known as the Soldiers of the Last Order was founded by Galtai, a messianic cleric of Nomog-Geaya. This cult, active in Western Oerik, seeks to follow five directives given to them by their founder. If they do these things, they believe Nomog-Geaya himself will appear on Oerth and bring about a new age. Nomog-Geaya grants members of this cult spells, but he is reluctant to support them too openly for fear that Maglubiyet may deem them a threat to his rule. In Western Oerik, Nomog-Geaya also grants the domain of Fire.
