Mallach is part of the [[The Pantheon|Pantheon of Savarra]], and the patron god of bards, artists, and lovers. He is widely worshipped in the mostly [[catfolk]] land of Jassira. His avatar is a [[catfolk|catboy]], dark-haired and wielding a golden citole. He is mostly known as the god of love and/or lust, but there's much more to him than just pursuit of carnal pleasures. According to [[Cait]] ''"you'll never see a Mallachite shying away from a good lay, especially with a good friend."''.

According to [[Cait]]:
+
Mallach is God of Passion and Love, and one of [[The Seven]]. He is most often associated with [[Jassira]] and his [[Catfolk]], though is happy to extend his love to all who seek it. He's a friendly deity, teasing and flirtatious, though passion is rarely gentle. You can attract his eye by helping Cait with her ambitions to further the worship of Mallach, or through other chance encounters with divinity.

<blockquote>''"You've met one of his devout already, but in short, he is the god of poetry, song, and all other forms of artistry... and his followers have proven they can advance love-making into an art. He is the patron of bards and lovers, and of course all creative folks; anyone who pursues his passions, so long as they respect the body and soul of all other folk. There's no greater anathema to Mallach than one whose passions harm others: rapists and killers especially. He is, though rarely acknowledged as such, also the god of moderation."''<br>—[[Brother Sanders]]</blockquote>

''<blockquote>"Mallach's a god of everything beautiful in the world. He delights in passion, and encourages all his followers to love deeply and to nurture artistry as much as they do romance. Many Mallachite priests are renowned poets or painters, you know! And the rest of us, well, we try to at least be familiar with the arts."</blockquote>''

===Talking with [[River]]===
 +

 +
If you've fully completed [[Convocation of Mirrors]] and speak to River about '''Seen Before?''', Mallach appears to you. He discusses with you the things you learned from the convocation, as well as some of his worshippers such as River and [[Cait]]. You don't get any further than a conversation, though he does leave on the somewhat disconcerting note that whether you win or lose, it will all make for an exciting story for him.

===Mallach's Dream===
 +
----
 +
<blockquote>Purring softly, the catboy god flows off his throne, golden jewelry clinking as he stretches and approaches you with arms spread to give you a friendly hug. ''"I really do just want to thank you for caring for [[Cait]] and hers in her time of need, and building the temple she needs to truly get her faith off the ground. Enjoy yourself! Be merry! Have some fun in the sun! Jassira's sun never sets here in my Dream, until it's time for the nighttime orgies under the stars.''<br><br>
  
−
Mallach is very open to all sorts of tastes when it comes to love, as he broadly promotes manifestations of love, lust, and passion, which can express themselves in many ways. In other words, he doesn't really kink-shame.
+
''"Or should I show my appreciation to you in some other way?"''</blockquote>

 +
If you complete [[Divine Pussy]] and build a [[Temple of Mallach]] in the [[Frost Marches]], you fall asleep to find yourself outside an outrageously opulent palace with a catboy attendant offering you spiced coffee. You recognise the [[Jassira|Jassiran]] architecture as you make your way through a palace filled with bards, patrons, and lovers, all with the same brand as Cait and [[Salwah]]. If you've completed the [[Convocation of Mirrors]], you also meet a [[Nareva|special guest]] availing themselves of some fine art and literature.

Mallach has multiple temples erected to him in [[Jassira]]. The clergy there make the temples sanctuaries, practising and proselytising his ideals and principles within them. Most famously, this involves giving their bodies to their god, in the form has having sex with visiting supplicants who want it.
+
Before too long you meet Mallach in person, who wants to thank you for helping to organically expand his worship in [[Lumia]]'s domain. He's eager to express his gratitude as well...
  
−
Known ranks/positions of Mallach's clergy are:
+
* '''Sex''': Yes, you want to fuck the god of art and beauty and inspiration and all other kinds of passions. But most importantly, fucking.
 +
* '''Tour''': While it's very flattering that the god of passion himself would offer to reward you in a way befitting him, you're more interested in him as a person. Why doesn't he give you a little tour of his palace, and you can have a friendly chat?
 +
* '''Decline''': It's very flattering that the god of passion himself would offer to reward you in a way befitting him, but you just want to get back to bed.
  
−
*Sacred Courtesan
+
Should you choose '''Tour''', Mallach will be surprised but happy to show you around his palace. Everything he surrounds himself with is meant to inspire passion - while usually positive, that can also include disgust or spite. Mallach's cultivated an environment to invite select members of his faithful, surround them with fantastic art and music, ply them with sex and drugs, and then send them back out into the world invigorated. Cait and Salwah could find themselves here as well should they continue distinguishing themselves in his service. There is also more information if you've discussed the events of Convocation of Mirrors with him.
−
*Ordained Cleric
 
−
*Lay Priest/Priestess
 
−
*Temple Acolytes
 
  
−
Clergy who's job involve sleeping with temple visitors are sometimes known as ''"temple harlots"'' or ''"temple whores"'', such as [[Cait]]'s mother. It's unclear how derogatory these terms are actually considered.
+
If you choose '''Decline''' however, Mallach will be somewhat disappointed but agree to return you to your sleep. He is also the God of Consent, after all.
  
−
Clergy's children are often raised together in the temples, and treat each other as siblings.

During [[Temple of Sin]], [[Kasyrra]] summons Mallach, ostensibly to parley. The two exchange insults and threats before Kasyrra unveils her bargaining chips - the souls of some of Mallach's followers, taken from the temple in [[Khor'minos]]. Ignoring Kas's goading, Mallach turns to you, asking if you're aware what Kasyrra intends to do with ''your'' soul when she takes it.

Getting cum on/in them has significance to Mallachite clergy, who consider it a type of spiritual anointment, and a sign that they have pleased their god by manifesting someone's passion.

 +
*'''For a Child''': It seems obvious to you: she needs your soul because a soulless woman can't produce a child - at least not one worthy of Kasyrra's majesty.
 +
*'''For Power''': Souls are power. It makes sense that if you have a powerful soul, and Kas takes it, she'll become far more powerful than ever before.
 +
*'''Her Portal''': You saw what Kas is planning back in the Winter City. Clearly she needs your soul for something in relation to her portal device. Its absence is probably what caused the portal to break in the first place.
  
−
To become part of the clergy, one must take sacred vows to Mallach. In the case of clergy's children, it seems it is traditional to take these vows on the first day after their 18th birthday. The vows to Mallach bind body and soul to his temple (whether magically or just metaphorically is unknown), and requires one to be undressed.
+
Kasyrra and Mallach comment on your choice. Mallach takes the souls with the intent of returning them to their bodies. He leaves Kas with an ominous threat; while [[The Seven]] are loath to intervene directly, they are watching Kasyrra's experiments and her over-reaches closely.

Magic practised within the temples mainly revolve around sex or childbirth. Clergy like Lay Priests/Priestesses are also trained in giving sermons, sensuality, ritual dances/stripteases, sex, and how to accommodate a potentially wide variety of tastes.

<blockquote>''"Perfect. Then allow me to demonstrate that your faith in me wasn't misplaced... why don't you take this body of mine and use it as you wish?"'' To say that Mallach's clothes are skimpy would be an understatement; they're the kind of excuse for garments one wears to obscure the imperfections on one's body... only the godling has none, by catboy standards anyways. He shrugs, allowing the sheer, perfumed silks to fall at his feet in a crumpled mess, then slinks up to you with his tail raised high, purring. ''"I promise I won't disappoint, not with the amount of experience I have."''</blockquote>
−
''<blockquote>"That's the problem with these ritual dances: they're designed to get you all worked up. But they're also all one big tease, after all...These dances of ours were honed over generations, you know. Centuries of slutty cat-girls dancing away for men's pleasure, perfecting the ways to make you so desperately desire to rip us right out of our skimpy little silks. But you wouldn't do that, would you? I don't have that big an effect on my Adventurer, do I?"</blockquote>''

Mallach has few followers in the north such as around [[Hawkethorne]], and as such there are very few temples to him there. [[Cait]] thinks it may be partly due to his avatar being a catboy, because the north has more lupine than catfolk. His worship is not outlawed, however.

Appearance

"...a bottom-heavy, raven-haired catboy reclining on the cushions near the stage, wrapped in nothing but sheerest silk around his waist and shoulders. Mallach looks every bit the image of his idols in the temple, small and supple and resting a golden lute across his lap."

Interactions

Talking with River

If you've fully completed Convocation of Mirrors and speak to River about Seen Before?, Mallach appears to you. He discusses with you the things you learned from the convocation, as well as some of his worshippers such as River and Cait. You don't get any further than a conversation, though he does leave on the somewhat disconcerting note that whether you win or lose, it will all make for an exciting story for him.

Mallach's Dream

Purring softly, the catboy god flows off his throne, golden jewelry clinking as he stretches and approaches you with arms spread to give you a friendly hug. "I really do just want to thank you for caring for Cait and hers in her time of need, and building the temple she needs to truly get her faith off the ground. Enjoy yourself! Be merry! Have some fun in the sun! Jassira's sun never sets here in my Dream, until it's time for the nighttime orgies under the stars.

"Or should I show my appreciation to you in some other way?"

If you complete Divine Pussy and build a Temple of Mallach in the Frost Marches, you fall asleep to find yourself outside an outrageously opulent palace with a catboy attendant offering you spiced coffee. You recognise the Jassiran architecture as you make your way through a palace filled with bards, patrons, and lovers, all with the same brand as Cait and Salwah. If you've completed the Convocation of Mirrors, you also meet a special guest availing themselves of some fine art and literature.

Before too long you meet Mallach in person, who wants to thank you for helping to organically expand his worship in Lumia's domain. He's eager to express his gratitude as well...

  • Sex: Yes, you want to fuck the god of art and beauty and inspiration and all other kinds of passions. But most importantly, fucking.
  • Tour: While it's very flattering that the god of passion himself would offer to reward you in a way befitting him, you're more interested in him as a person. Why doesn't he give you a little tour of his palace, and you can have a friendly chat?
  • Decline: It's very flattering that the god of passion himself would offer to reward you in a way befitting him, but you just want to get back to bed.

Should you choose Tour, Mallach will be surprised but happy to show you around his palace. Everything he surrounds himself with is meant to inspire passion - while usually positive, that can also include disgust or spite. Mallach's cultivated an environment to invite select members of his faithful, surround them with fantastic art and music, ply them with sex and drugs, and then send them back out into the world invigorated. Cait and Salwah could find themselves here as well should they continue distinguishing themselves in his service. There is also more information if you've discussed the events of Convocation of Mirrors with him.

If you choose Decline however, Mallach will be somewhat disappointed but agree to return you to your sleep. He is also the God of Consent, after all.

Temple of Sin

Written by Savin

Cracking the butt of her axe upon the marble floor, Kas speaks forcefully to the icon of Mallach above you: "Prince of pleasure and lord of lust, I invoke you! Hear me-"

"Not so loud!" a voice behind you shushes. "You'll wake the poor priestesses, silly girl."

During Temple of Sin, Kasyrra summons Mallach, ostensibly to parley. The two exchange insults and threats before Kasyrra unveils her bargaining chips - the souls of some of Mallach's followers, taken from the temple in Khor'minos. Ignoring Kas's goading, Mallach turns to you, asking if you're aware what Kasyrra intends to do with your soul when she takes it.

  • Don't Care: You don't really care what Kas wants your soul for, honestly.
  • Redemption: Kas clearly wants to take your soul for herself... but you have a feeling that what she wants to do with it is implant it in herself. A twisted way to get at redeption, sure, but...
  • For a Child: It seems obvious to you: she needs your soul because a soulless woman can't produce a child - at least not one worthy of Kasyrra's majesty.
  • For Power: Souls are power. It makes sense that if you have a powerful soul, and Kas takes it, she'll become far more powerful than ever before.
  • Her Portal: You saw what Kas is planning back in the Winter City. Clearly she needs your soul for something in relation to her portal device. Its absence is probably what caused the portal to break in the first place.

Kasyrra and Mallach comment on your choice. Mallach takes the souls with the intent of returning them to their bodies. He leaves Kas with an ominous threat; while The Seven are loath to intervene directly, they are watching Kasyrra's experiments and her over-reaches closely.

Sex

"Perfect. Then allow me to demonstrate that your faith in me wasn't misplaced... why don't you take this body of mine and use it as you wish?"

  • Followers of Mallach are called Mallachites, which is similar to the name of the real-world green crystal malachite.
  • In ancient Egypt the colour green (wadj) was associated with death and the power of resurrection as well as new life and fertility. Ancient Egyptians believed that the afterlife contained an eternal paradise which resembled their lives but with no pain or suffering, and referred to this place as the "Field of Malachite".
