Morgath

Morgath is the master of chaos, evil and the undead, who despises all things fair and noble. His church is dour and ruthless, and infamous for its human sacrifice.

Morgath is rarely called by his name, in fear of invoking him or his agents. Other names for him are Tormentor of the Unlamented Dead, Master of the Principle of Evil, Lord of the Gulmorvrin of the Black Pit, Wielder of the Shadow of Incarnate Evil, Master of Chaos and the Lord of Darkness.

The most feared aspect of priests of Morgath is their ability to create, and control, undead. There are two types of undead - the Amorvrin (willing) and the Gulmorvrin (unwilling). The latter are far more common.
