===The Guardian of the Eighth Spiral===
Usually depicted as a huge mass of serpents, heads and bodies extending from a sphere made up of all their tails melded together.  A kind of protector-spirit which is set on places which are to be absolutely forbidden.  There are very few clerics devoted solely to this deity; they tend to convert to its special service after already achieving great power through a prior path.  This deity is also sometimes invoked in proceedings to deliver horrific curses on one who has committed a major transgression.  For example, a host who killed his guest in violation of Hospitality might have his body permanently infested with small, flesh-devouring worms in this deity's name.  No one knows precisely what the Eighth Spiral is, nor what happened to the previous seven.
