Nomog-Geaya

Nomog-Geaya was the hobgoblin deity of war and authority.

Physical description
The god appeared as a huge, powerful goblin with rough, ash-gray skin, cold orange eyes, and teeth like a shark's.

Personality
As a commanding figure, Nomog-Geaya was said to have no expressions other than a grim, tight-lipped look of domineering authority. He was quiet and only spoke when he must.

Equipment
The hobgoblin deity fought with a +3 wounding broadsword in one hand, and his +2 handaxe, which bore a symbol of pain, in the other.

Realm
Maglubiyet allowed Nomog-Geaya and Khurgorbaeyag to live in his realm of Clangor on the plane of Acheron to better keep an eye on them.

Relationships
Nomog-Geaya was subservient to Maglubiyet, and detested Bargrivyek, the goblin deity of territory.

Worshipers
As patron deity of hobgoblins, he was second only to Maglubiyet in hobgoblin religion and his symbol was a crossed broadsword and handaxe.

History
Circa &minus;3400, hobgoblins and their dwarven slaves constructed a gigantic statue to Nomog-Geaya, in the Gorge of Nomog-Geaya the Warrior, at the mouth of the River Ith. The gorge became a gathering place for hobgoblin tribes for three centuries. The idol was destroyed in &minus;1931 DR by Calishite armies.

Background
Nomog-Geaya was first detailed in Roger E. Moore's article "The Humanoids: All About Kobolds, Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Gnolls" in Dragon #63, 1982. Later, Nomog-Geaya was detailed in the book Monster Mythology (1992), which included details about his priesthood. His role in the cosmology of the Planescape campaign setting was described in On Hallowed Ground (1996).
