This god is a man-sized, four-legged spider with a man's head. The gossamer web of Mog is said to contain the fates of every living creature, and he delivers these fates as the Southmaren Winged Messenger. Some would say that each man only lives as long as he can scurry about on the web while evading Mog's grasp.
Mog's has many worshipers who seek to cheat their fate through a combination of luck and obeisance. In addition, His spider servants watch everything that mortals do from the rafters or eaves of buildings. They also deliver the fates that Mog has seen in His web, spinning down on unseen webs like foul birds. The touch of a spider in Southmaren culture is considered to be a very ill omen indeed, as is seeing a bird trapped in a spider's web.
