View source for DnD:Chemosh

'''Chemosh''', also known as the Lord of Bones, Lifebane, and the Black Goat, is the [[Gods of Evil|evil god]] of death, murder, undeath, and sloth in the [[Dragonlance]] campaign setting. He represents the godly force of fatalism. He encourages souls to give up to destiny and fate. Chemosh disdains life, feeling that it is wasted on the people of [[Krynn]]. He prefers to promise "immortality" by making souls into [[undead]] rather than letting them pass into the afterlife. Chemosh gains power as people surrender their free will to him. Chemosh sits in the Hall of Soul's Passing and watches the progression of souls into the afterlife, where he attempts to lure souls into becoming undead. Chemosh is the direct opposite of [[Mishakal]] as she promotes life and hope. He is the foe of all of the [[Gods of Good]], and among the [[Gods of Neutrality]] is in opposition to [[Chislev]], for disrupting the natural order of life, and [[Sirrion]], for suppressing hope and creativity. He has few allies but sometimes works with [[Hiddukel]] and [[Morgion]] due to the nature of his schemes. His celestial symbol is the constellation Goat's Skull.
