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.
