Shargaas was the orc deity of darkness, night, stealth, thieves, and the undead. His symbol was a skull on a red crescent moon.[4][2]

Realm

Shargaas lived in the Night Below,[5] an immense cavern system below the lowest known layer of the plane of Gehenna, Krangath.[7] It was said that his caves extended forever, and all were pitch black.[6] The only creatures able to see were Shargaas himself and his orc and half-orc petitioners and spirit servants.[6]

Worshipers

Shargaas' priests wore red and black leather armor and leather caps. His sacred animal was the bat. His holy days were on the new moons. Stolen items were sacrificed to him monthly.[2]
