Though many deities claim deception as a minor concern, Mormo is the master of the lie. He is the only deity that actively encourages his priests to pose as the priests of other deities and rewards those who are successful at using this deception to corrupt the worship of other deities. Myths tell of how he has tricked one god or another to some degree, though his greatest deception was the Seduction of Clementia, and begat upon her Orchus, God of Luck. Clementia has long since forgiven Mormo and his son tends to ignore his father’s activies.
Mormo’s greatest deital opponent is Aridnus, though most of his foes consider him a dire enemy. Mormo and Themis are on decent terms, however, instead choosing to compete over who can pull the best lie.
The priesthood of Mormo is believed to be small, but because of the deity’s nature, actual numbers are difficult to uncover. Lay worshippers primarily include those who spy for a living.
