Holy Symbol

Worship & Rites
Xurthar is worshipped by small secretive cults in hidden locations—ruins, caves, and forgotten places. Worship involves ingestion of hallucinogenic substances, rituals designed to induce altered states, and ceremonies that celebrate madness as a path to enlightenment.
Clergy & Organization
Mindbreakers serve as Xurthar's priests, agents of mental corruption who guide others toward insanity. Many are themselves half-mad, their thoughts fractured by decades of serving their god.
Holy Days
The Unraveling
Night of altered consciousness and chaotic rites, where reality seems to bend
The Fracturing
Ritual of ego dissolution and ego rebirth through chemical and magical means
Lore & History
Xurthar pushes mortals toward lunacy and transformation not out of malice but out of a fundamental belief that sanity and identity are illusions that limit human potential. He whispers from the spaces between thoughts, tempting mortals with glimpses of impossible truths. Those who resist his influence remain sane; those who yield find themselves transformed into something entirely new, rarely recognizable as the person they once were.
