Moorindal, the God of Shadow
Evil is an integral part in any religion. Moorindal, the God of Shadow, is represented in
one way or another in all of Arcanum's pagan religions. Moorindal is the bastard son of
the moon and Helion, the God of Light. Patricide is always associated with Moorindal, as
legend tells that once Helion ruled over both the day and the night, but that Moorindal
killed him so that the night could be his and his mother's. So the night became the kingdom
of Moorindal, as did the winter months.
There were many secret cults and religions that worshipped Moorindal, but we know little
about their practices and perhaps that is for the best. We do know that they used the black
diamonds from the Bangellian Deeps as offerings to their dark god. It represented loss of
innocence, the triumph of the shadow.
