Astaroth

Dogma:
Born from Outside forces, a darkness which must take the form of shadows, emerges from the Mechanical Dragon a being tasked to guard Time forever. Before the creation of The Noble Races, Astaroth fought for power in space against Vacia, the Wizard, and the Mechanical Dragon, but was slewn by their combined strength. Although this was a loss in power for the Fiend Lords, Astaroth remains a symbol for Necromancy just as he did while alive. Death can not hold a devout of Astaroth, nor will they fear moon lit nights. When the moon is not in the sky, it is said that the heavenly body is traveling space piloted by the Ithite avatars as a corpse castle. The body of Astaroth is as a asteroid of petrified white bone, eons old, floating in vitreous space, tunneled through by inhabiting parasites. Built on top of the corpse, Ithis has erected a palace made from the white bone, a brilliant star visible from the ground. It is from there that powerful Necromancies are kept away from mortals. Ithis ordains guardians to defend the gates of the palace, which actually hide a prison of tunnels inside Astaroth. The prisoners are enslaved for no specific crime, other than most being born within the jail, placed there by the Fates for being born as Illithid abominations. These creatures are suprime natural Necromancers, and choose to live within the prison to feed on the corruption emanating from Astaroth. It is their combined faith that empowers Astaroth even in death. While he is not the true deity of all Necromancy, as Ithis shares more of that power, it is the reliance on Astaroth which forces Ithis to devote power toward maintaining his temple, and so, it is the home of the Avatar of Shadow.

Those who worship a wide variety of gods may pray to the moon for a various number of reasons, all which somewhat empower the dragon-god. Draconic necromancers also worship Astaroth as an alternative to the Ancient Way's beliefs about Necromancy, however, Astaroth does not command power of all other kinds of magic, instead, relying on breath attacks advanced to the limit by meta knowledge of deep Necromancy.
