PFS RestrictedNurgal (The Shining Scourge)

Legacy Content

Source Gods & Magic pg. 126 2.0
Nurgal, the Shining Scourge, is the demon lord of deserts, senseless warfare, and the sun. He was formerly a fully fledged deity of ancient Azlant, but fell to demigodhood after being defeated in combat. Nurgal represents the sun’s potential for devastation, and his followers venerate him out of cowed awe. The demon lord appears as a muscular, tanned man with the head and lower body of a golden lion and a dragon’s tail. He is almost always depicted as wielding a mace in the form of a miniature sun, held in a taloned hand. Nurgal’s worshippers are primarily found in the deserts of Garund, Ninshabur, and Qadira.
