Molestus, God of Pain and Misery

Molestus is the God of Pain and Misery and though most people despise such things, there are people who revel in pain. Pain is life, death is painful, even childbirth is painful. Everything is a pain to endure and overcome. He has few followers but he is part of everyones life. He appears as a torturer who carries several implements of torture. His favored avatar is Darius, a information gatherer, of the Ariella Empire.

Some generic roleplaying information is as follows: His symbol is a bloody pair of manacles. His Mages were the garb of a torturer and carry a whip.

Molestus' alignment (if your system uses it) is Chaotic Evil. He revels in others pain.

Molestus created the poisonous lizard folk of the desert plains.

Molestus' followers include torturers and people who revel in pain of others.

Molestus' Mages are charged with spreading pain and misery, their temples usually torture chambers where ever they might be found.

Molestus is devout to his parents, Dasa and Lokar, because they bring great pain with death and loss. The other Gods do not like how he interferes with mortals, but know everything can have pain associated with it.

Roleplaying Tip for the Day: Try moving away from the norm when you are creating your own world. It doesn't have to be large things, but something which adds something to your world. Take my dwarves for example. My dwarves are master sailors. How many settings with dwarves make them out to be poor swimmers?
