The Morrigan is a capricious goddess of war.  She seeks only the bloodshed of her enemies and to do battle.


Dogma

The tenets of the Morrigan’s faith are simple: kill your enemy.  Followers of the Morrigan are anxious for battle and despise diplomacy.  The Morrigan teaches her worshippers to do anything they can to achieve victory on the battle field; lying, cheating and sabotage are all valid ways of tipping the scales in ones favor.  Retreat is the coward’s way and is considered a major transgression. 


Clergy

The Morrigan’s Clerics are often at the forefront of battle, choosing the slain as it were.  They also administer last rites to those who have fallen on the battlefield.  All Clerics of the Morrigan (even those of Good alignment) channel negative energy and  never administer healing to anyone.  They believe it is counterproductive to have fallen warrior’s rejoin the battle.  The robes of black and red worn by her Clerics have earned them the moniker “Battle Ravens”.  Further adding to their fearsome appearance, they carry with them specially prepared severed heads as holy symbols.

The Morrigan’s Druids promote war as the great cleanser, the bringer of balance between man and the natural world.  They choose ancient battlegrounds as their sanctuaries and decorate them with the bones of dead warriors and the severed heads of enemies.  The animals living in a diocese ruled by a Druid devoted to the Morrigan are extremely vicious and territorial.
