//Lord of Destruction, Devourer of Souls, the Mad Beggar//
Senseless destruction and corruption seem to be the primary characteristics of Maol's faith. He is shunned even by the other evil deities; the triumvirate of [[Anvhad]], [[Falco]], and [[Kliasta]] view him as a dangerously useless madman, while [[Baoz]] scorns Maol's faithful as an undisciplined rabble waiting to be destroyed by a better-organized force. Both perceptions are accurate, and yet Maol continues to attract those willing to pay any price—any price at all—for the promise of power.
Those who accept Maol's bargain inevitably lose any semblance of humanity, and are frequently driven mad as well. His are the armies of gray-faced fanatics with the soulless eyes of the walking dead; his are the necromancers in lonely towers filled with rot and decay. Not all his servants are on the grand scale: his, too, is the wild-eyed beggar on the streets who knifes children while giggling madly to himself.
Maol corrodes the souls of those who enter his service, and they in turn spread the taint outward, poisoning everything they touch. Sometimes he gifts his servants with power, sometimes he reduces them to wretched ruin. Yet even the most miserably deceived of Maol's servants becomes an agent of festering evil, lashing out in self-destructive hatred at those more fortunate. The god does not have to reward his followers to incite them to acts of mindless carnage.
**Alignment:** Chaotic Evil
