"Spread the eternal night."
Dithmengos the Shadowed desires all to be darkness. In exchange for their life essence and that of the inhabitants of the dungeon, followers of Dithmengos gain a strange and otherwordly affinity to the shadows of their environment. Dithmengos despises sources of light, including most forms of fire, and forbids their use by worshippers; Dithmengos favours those who would instead destroy those sources of illumination.
Followers of Dithmengos are constantly surrounded in an unholy aura, the extent of which is reflective of their level of devotion. Dithmengos grants followers the ability to instantly step into the shadow of nearby creatures, provided their shadow is still enough to do so. Dithmengos protects followers by occasionally shrouding those struck by attacks in dark smoke. Sufficiently pious followers of Dithmengos will find their own shadow will begin to attack on its own, and eventually gain the ability to assume the form of a shadow themself.
