Sects of the Daemon Anogetz
Revolution. Not generally the
hallmark of evil, but the Daemon Harbinger Anogetz see it as his area of
expertise along with coups and animal attacks. The Fated Fang considers himself
a ruler among animals, the Alpha of the pack. Little is written on this
inhabitant of Abbadon, and even less on his followers. Thus I put it to you, as
we sit around our theoretical gaming table, we’re playing a game where all the
characters must be worshipers of Anogetz. You do not need to be a divine
casting class but your goals must align with the goals of the Daemon. What
character would you make?

The Packlords
In the river kingdoms, power comes to those who take it.
The country is a free for all of anything goes—only the laws of those strong
enough to enforce them prevail. In these lands, the Packlords seek to gain
power in the name of their lord Anogetz. Each Packlord leads his own group of
bandits in different territories within the river kingdom. They seek personal
gain by any means necessary, and some have even gone so far as to overthrow the
current lords of major regions.
Although the Packlords will band together in times of
need, or if a plan calls for a larger group, there remains a constant struggle
within the group. Despite the realization that they must work together, Anogetz
demands that the best suited lead, whether this means the smartest or the
strongest depends on the needs of the moment. The Packlords vie among each
other in a constant attempt to dethrone whoever is currently the alpha. This
usually means that concerted efforts among the lords are few and far between.
Each pack has its own hierarchy and the groups can range
from as few as four to as many as twenty. Not everyone in the Packlord’s band will
understand the true purpose of Anogetz, but the Deamon is not above whispering
to newer members to test the lord of the pack. The Fated Fangs would not want
those who lead his faithful to rest on their laurels.
The Grey Manes
The land of Galt has been set by constant revolution and
many think it is because the governments, one after the next since the
overthrow of the monarchy, have been corrupt. People look to the Grey Gardeners
to prune the tree of liberty and make way for new leadership that meets the
will of the people. What people fail to see is that within the Gardeners
themselves is the reason for the continued strife. Hidden like a wolf in
sheep’s clothing is the Grey Mane, worshipers of Anogetz.
The Grey Mane seeks to make Anogetz the one true religion
within the realm of Galt and during each successive government they try to turn
many of the ruling bodies toward the worship of their Daemon Lord. Time
and again however, their machinations fail and they are forced to use the
guillotines to reset the playing field and begin anew. How the group stays so
well hidden among the Grey Gardeners no one knows, but it may be because few,
if any, know they are there in the first place.
The Ravagers
Although Ketephys has seen fit to
help some were-creatures overcome their bestial nature, the followers of
Anogetz revel in their bestial nature. The ravagers are a group of evil
were-creatures that travel the length and breadth of Avistan. Their one goal is
to remind humanity that just because they have formed civilization it does not
mean they have reached the top of the food chain.
The activities of the Ravagers seem random to most folk,
as animal attacks usually do. Each attack, however, is a well thought-out plan
meant to instill the most fear among the people they seek to “enlighten”.
Nightly raids that kill only one or two, so the town can watch their numbers
slowly dwindle, is a common tactic. The ravagers rarely wipe a town or village
out wholesale as they know they need leave some few to remember that what
terror has befallen them.
A new edition to the god write ups are Paladin and
Antipaladin codes. Since Anogetz is Neutral Evil he gets Antipaladins and here
goes the code.
Antipaladin code
The beast’s territory is that which he can defend. I am
the beast. I own what I can take and keep and nothing more. Those who cannot
keep what they have were never meant for it, and it is mine by right
No man is a slave, except in their own heart. No
man is free but for the strength of his own will. I will be no slave. I
will harden my heart like armor, and sharpen my will like a sword, and let no
man set easy who seeks to seat himself above me.
The beasts of the wild are unlike their domesticated
brethren. They see man as prey, when they take a man’s life, it reminds
other men of their place in the world. This is as it should be
A weak leader is prey to a strong man. A foolish leader
is prey to a smart man. An unpopular leader is prey to a man with allies.
A leader who is prey is no leader at all.
