Followers: Many follow the honorable Malachín. Soldiers and knights pray for protection in battles, hunters for a good hunt and protection while hunting, paladins for protection and a powerful fist against the evil. Some more honorable orc tribes pray to him to ensure food from hunts and protection in defending the tribe's territory. Followers of Malachín believe, that when they die in honor, they will be led to the door of a great castle / war tent, and there will be a big feast for them, and Malachín will ask them what they did in life. Then they can tell the story of their life, and if it is a honorable and true story, they are invited to sit with him at the table with the great heroes for that evening. The next morning, they will stand up in arms, and fight a honorable battle against Moshran's demons, and they will stand up in the evening when they fall. In the evenings, there will be feasts again, with listening to newcomer's stories, and much other talk. If a soldier shows much honor in these battles, he will be sent back to the world to assist righteous paladins or soldiers (sometimes known ones, or even orc shamans) in battle or as a spiritual mentor. Sometimes, a fighter or even a great hero will be sent back to be reborn to fulfill a righteous purpose in times when heroes are needed. Doom await those who are liars or have lived an unhonorable life and dare to face Malachín. They are denied to sit next to the God but instead their soul is condemned to wander the sphere between the worlds. Never to enter the realm of the undead nor to be reborn. Cherga is know to look out for those with her mercyless gaze to punish them in a way they deserve.
