On Dark's Undergods:
Kull, the Darkest Killer of All.
We must all kill to survive. Kull reaches beyond simple killing, though. Taking innocent lives served Kull. Killing through treachery or surprise serves him. Needless killing, where possibility exists of avoiding it, serves him. Slaughter, massacre, and destruction all empower Kull. We wield death as a necessary weapon, but granting our worship to Kull strengthens our community. His ways cast mistrust, suspicion, and fear amongst us, and we stand stronger without his influence. He exists to tempt us with lies of easy solutions to our problems, and to bring balance to our world through opposing Nemesus.
Nekros, the Lord of Rattling Bones.
Undead scourge our lands. We can carry no tolerance for their existence, save when their destruction stands beyond our ability. We can tolerate not any creation or assisting of undead beings, unless our lives truly depend upon it. Controlling undead stands as permissible only when they suffer turning against their allies, and destruction when their usefulness extinguishes. No tormenting of souls can we tolerate, under any circumstances. Nekros serves no purpose to mortals beyond opposing Phoenix and bringing balance to our world.
Sepsis, the Glorious Bringer of Plague.
Sepsis subsumed much of the Ravager's portfolio during the first cataclysm. As such, spreading pain and disease, needless suffering, torture, vermin and famine serve her ends. Her touch may stand unavoidable in our lives, but we may choose to avoid empowering her further by exercising compassion and empathy. Enjoyment of pain, yours or others, brings her power. Insects and parasites grant her favor, so their presence should never suffer toleration. Sepsis exists to oppose Halcyon, and bring balance to our world through that conflict.
Tempesta, Our Lady of Discord.
The worst of the undergods of Dark, Tempests wishes for nothing less than the breaking down of all society, order, and peace. She drives violent clashes out of minor misunderstandings. She drives us to hate the differences we keep from one another, and refuse to understand others' perspective. Her power can seem great or small, yet it always chips and grinds away at our minds. She need not bid her followers to lie, for the truth carries far greater horror than any lie could. She exists to oppose Nexus, and to bring balance to the world.
On Dark Gods:
Darkness consumes. It lashes out in anger. If it finds no other targets then it attacks itself. We all carry within us Dark's touch, and all of us stand capable of serving its call. Darkness seems easy, but carries grave consequences. Let us all curb our worship of these gods however we can through our acts. And let us suffer not accepting those who devote their lives to these gods into our communities. To accept them is as accepting a blade into our backs. They must betray us, by the nature of the forces they serve. The only question is when. These gods must carry our great respect. Their minions not so.
