Mallach

Mallach is the patron god of bards, artists, and lovers. His avatar is a catboy, dark-haired and wielding a golden citole. He is mostly known as the god of love, or maybe lust, but there's much more to him than just pursuit of carnal pleasures, although, according to Cait "you'll never see a Mallachite shying away from a good lay, especially with a good friend.".

According to Cait:

"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."

His name is sometimes invoked as an exclamation, i.e. "Mallach's balls. Either this stuff is really fresh, or it's really potent" as used be Leorah

Mallach has few follower 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 beng a catboy, because the north has more lupine than catfolk, and there is some racial tension between the two. His worship is not outlawed, however.

Trivia

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’.
