Maglubiyet (ma-GLUB-i-yet), the Lord of the Depths and Darkness, rules over his people with an iron fist, he is the patron of aggression , war, and rulership. He appears as a massive goblin with skin like pitch, and eyes of crimson flame, bearing a coal-black axe dripping with gore.  Unlike the orcish tribes, all goblin and hobgoblins worship Maglubiyet first, though they may also honor other Powers. Maglubiyet is similar in many way to Gruumsh, the Orc Power, in that he wishes to see war waged for the glory of his people, and eternally urges them on to conflict and strife.

Maglubiyet keeps a watchful eye on his servant deities, lest one usurp his power. Maglubiyet's clerics keep order within the tribes, but rarely lead them directly,   they prefer to guide rather than rule.

Maglubiyet demands human (or demi-human) sacrifice from his people on each new moon. These sacrifices are always decapitated with a single axe blow, following b a burnt offering of their heart. After success in battle (regardless of the phase of the moon), sacrifices will be offered up from prisoners that have been captured. Dwarves and humans are the preferred victims, but orcs, halflings and elves are also welcomed.
