| Background | ||
| Lagozed is more of a slumbering appetite than a sentient being, but he is revered by the strange society of the troglodytes. Some portion of the ravening beast must recognize them and hear their prayer, as the powers of his priesthood are quite real, if limited in scope. Lagozed's shamans gain equal measures of power from worship Lagozed and from their own dark rituals -- they have fair skill at binding spirits to their will in addition to the more normal priestly powers. They prefer to fall upon their enemies and rend them limb from limb with tooth and talon, but will fall back on weaponry if survival demands it. Lagozed also has a small human following in the Vast Swamp, they venerate the Dripping Death in a manner similar to that of the troglodytes, and dress in reptile skins. The few higher-level (above 5th) shamans in his cult have taken on a distinctly reptilian aspect. |
