Mordiggian,the Charnel GodThe greatcollector of bones of mortals, the patron of corpses, and master of the marrow,he is the one who gathers power from the soulless husks of the flesh leftbehind… He is one of the strangest of the Old Ones. Not in form, whichadmittingly, is that of twisted flesh and ossified tissue manifested from theofferings to his being, but rather in his morbid – perfectly literally so –connection to the realms of mortal beings. Where other gods and cosmic entitiesoften barely notice the fumbling, pathetic attempts at living that the fleetingmicrobes display (like the whole ‘civilization-building’ humans do, for example),Mordiggian found a source of power in their remains, in the empty, soullesshusk given freely to the speedy grasps of entropic tendrils. There in decay anddecomposition, he thrives, sucking on the grim aspect of death to engorge hisown potency. Like a dragon on a hoard, he is attracted to great massacre sitesand charnel houses, where his bounty is plentiful. Those who worship him arefools who mistake him for a god of death, a necromantic deity that can grant atleast a simulacra of immortality – nothing is however further from the truth,as Mordiggian is not interested in mortals souls and minds; merely in theirfleshy husks. -- source link
