Moon over Terror

Predators of Jezelda

Monsters prey on the weak and the innocent. Many of them were created by the Mother of Monsters, the Demon Lord turned deity Lamashtu. Some dark creatures like ghouls had their start with a different diviner being. Werewolves got their start from a third Demon Lord. This week we look at Jezelda, the Demon Lord of desolation, the moon, and werewolves. I present to you three possible sects of this foul shapeshifter.

As always, let us imagine we are sitting at our theoretical gaming table. Our imaginary GM sets out the rules for the game that we will play. In this game, we are to make a follower of Jezelda. The character does not need to be a divine caster, just a devotee of The Mistress of the Hungry Moon. What character do you make?

The Werehunters

Jezelda hates all werecreatures that are not werewolves. She is especially spiteful of good-aligned shapeshifters like werebears. The Werehunters are a group who specialize in finding and slaying other lycanthropes.

Members of the sect are carefully chosen; rangers, anti-paladins, and clerics make up the core of the sect. Occasionally an arcane caster will be recruited, usually witches but occasionally wizards. All of the group’s members are werewolves so they can more easily do battle with their prey.

The Moonlighters

The moon itself falls within the realm of Jezelda’s portfolio. Her followers are also some of the most crazed madmen next to the followers of Rovagug. The Moonlighters are a group that thinks the will of their goddess is to make it to the moon. She does nothing to refute this idea.

Casters, alchemists, astronomers, and crafters of all kind want to claim the moon as their own. A few of them have actually made it to the moon but none of them have ever made it back. Speculation among the sect abounds about what these members found, but their research – like much of the notes of the group – is gibberish and almost impossible to decipher, even for other members.

The Nothing

The followers of Jezelda enjoy the open spaces, the places where nothing exists. They hate other sentient beings with a passion and wish to see them all wiped away. They want to make the land as desolate as their souls. To this end, they try to wipe out small villages to let the land retake its place, with the eventual goal of leveling whole cities.

This group consists of mostly corrupt druids. They hate humanity with a passion and want nothing short of the total destruction of all that man has created. The members of this sect spend most of their time in dark secluded forests in the form of an animal instead of in their human guise.

This being’s followers erupt to life and bring something new to the table every time. Who is your disciple of Jezelda? Why have they chosen to dedicate themselves to The Mistress of the Hungry Moon? Where does their devotion to this Demon Lord come from? Let me know in the comments.
