Harmakhis is a chaotic evil God of Death and Destruction. His holy symbol is a skull and
scythe and
his domains are Death, Destruction, Evil, and Chaos.
He is thought to be an aspect of the Donn,
the Tharbrian God of Death, and his worship is said to
date back to the time of the Tharbrian conquest of
Quitak. His chief temple is in that city.
Whatever his origins the God and his followers soon adapted to city life and began
preaching a doctrine of “might is right” which appealed to many of the nobles and not a few
of the past ruling Warlords. Memory of the times when his followers have been in the ascendancy
in the ruling elite explains why so many of the good temples are supportive of the current
lawful evil Warlord.
His worship still appeals to many nobles who desire not be shackled by
laws or morals. His priests teach that only a person who gives
much to Harmakhis in treasure and sacrifices may avoid the
gloom of the afterlife. His temple in Quitak has grown wealthy as more than a few of the city's
nobles and senators have been attracted to his worship. His religion deliberately seeks
out those with political power
and influence as a means to better spread its evil teachings.
