Vorago
The Endless Maw
Vorago, The Endless Maw, is a daunting figure of divinity within the harsh landscapes of Greater Qirus. Embodying the insatiable hunger, unchecked gluttony, and eventual ruin, Vorago's name is often whispered in hushed tones, a chilling reminder of the destructive power of unchecked desire.
Vorago is the god of hunger in all its forms: from the physical craving for sustenance to the metaphysical longing for power, wealth, and pleasure. His is the realm of gluttony, the dangerous precipice where desire becomes obsession and leads to one's downfall.
While Vorago is feared, he is also revered, albeit reluctantly. Some individuals, driven by boundless ambition or unsated cravings, may seek his blessings. But it is a dangerous bargain, as Vorago demands voracious consumption and in return offers the satisfaction of temporary fulfillment, always shadowed by the specter of ruin.
Vorago is symbolized by a gaping sinkhole in the desert, a vivid metaphor for the endless hunger he represents. This pit is a terrifying sight, consuming everything around it without discernment or satiation. It is a stark reminder of the destructive path that unchecked desire can lead to, a physical manifestation of the inevitable ruin at the end of a path of gluttony.
Worship of Vorago often involves acts of conspicuous consumption or sacrifice, where worshippers indulge in or renounce their desires as a tribute to the god. His shrines are often located near places of ruin, near naturally occurring sinkholes or hidden in basements.
