Hiddukel

Background
Hiddukel, the Prince of Tarnished Gold, is the god of avarice and treachery. He is a deal maker who trades in souls. Hiddukel's deal making skills are so great that it is said that he is the only being able to barter with Takhisis and come out in front. Hiddukel was called from the Beyond by Takhisis. He is a coward at heart, but gets along well with the other gods of evil, as he always diverts attention elsewhere if any of them suspect his duplicity. He hates Shinare and offers riches to anyone destroying her temples. He also opposes Reorx but he is a coward at heart and so does nothing to risk angering him.

Hiddukel is said to control all of the ill-gotten wealth in the world. He is also known for contacting and making deals with dying men, who in desperation accept anything. As a payment for his services, he asks the mortal to deliver the souls of other men.

Worship
Hiddukel is the patron of evil businessmen, dishonest merchants, thieves and many hogoblins. Due to their dishonesty, followers of Hiddukel often lead double lives (usually quite successfully). Hiddukel influences evil business practices, damned spirits, greed, slavery and betrayal.

Temple
Hiddukel's temple can be found in Sanction, near the docks.
