Forn
(Greater God)
GENDER:
Male
DESCRIPTION:
Forn is the crafty and wicked lord of the dead. He resides in Darkland, the place where all dead souls arrive in Kyron. It is a barren land in the middle of Dorariia, with no plants and very little light. He tries to trick the dead into either staying there forever or into wandering about, lost and alone. In this way he can draw upon the souls of the dead for power. On occasion he encounters someone with whom he has a contract, forbidding them from leaving. For the most part, however, anyone clever enough to escape from him and his malevolent wife Trinis can find passage to any other part of Kyron (with some exceptions).
Forn himself is evil to the core, always thinking up ways which will allow him to seize power from the other Gods. He uses everyone, including his wife, as pawns in his power game. Even the other evil Gods shun him, knowing that he will kill them all if the opportunity arises or if it suits his purposes.
STATISTICS:
AL Lawful evil; WAL Any evil; AoC Death, darkness, desperation, and ambition; SY A red skull.

Special Abilities:
Invisibility - Forn's avatar can turn invisible at will.
Special Items:
Forn's Infernal Contracts - These appear to be blank sheets of paper with a signature line. If asked why it is blank, Forn will always respond "I like to keep things simple". He will promise nearly anything in return for signing the contract. However, only the very foolish will do so; once the contract is signed, the terms will appear. There are usually several catches to the rewards that are granted, but two are in every one:
DUTIES OF THE PRIESTHOOD:
Those foolish enough to worship Forn have effectively signed one of his contracts: he grants them power, but once dead they are doomed to wander Darkland forever. If the priest is helpful, Forn will give him long life, but if he or she is incompetent, Forn may send other minions after them just to gain the additional power of one more spirit. Forn's priests have no holy days.
