Nomog-Geaya is the hobgoblin deity of War and Authority. His symbol is a crossed longsword and handaxe.
Description
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
Nomog-Geaya is subservient to Maglubiyet, and detests Khurgorbaeyag, the patron deity of goblins.
Realm
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
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
Nomog-Geaya is the patron deity of hobgoblins, second only to Maglubiyet in hobgoblin religion.
Clergy
Associated orders
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.
