God of Suffering and Torture

Known as "He who is the Sorrow of the World," Mularos is
the god of suffering, both physical and emotional. He draws the most
strength from pain inflicted by others.
While Mularos is not worshipped by any formal church, cults to
him have surfaced from time to time. These are most often collections
of sadomasochists, often led by a charismatic but twisted leader.
These cults seduce young followers with a decadent and reassuring
lifestyle, then bend their minds to dependent love and strict obedience.
While the usual end result is mass suicide, it is rumored that such
cults have lasted for centuries.
At times Mularos seems to revel in causing pain, but he feels the
pain of mortals at the same time as he draws strength from it. In
a sense, he is a victim of mortals as much as they are victims of
him.
Mularos’ preferred humanoid manifestation is that of a young
man of delicate features dressed in simple silk robes. Often a glimpse
of the scars left by manacles can be seen at the hem and sleeves
of his robe, or the bloody mark of a lash below the collar. In manner,
he is charming, alternately dominant and submissive, sadomasochistic
and sad. His symbol is a heart with a dagger piercing it on a field
of white.
