Dogma: Mephiet's struggle with the other gods of the pantheon is about power, not empire. he believes that he is the strongest of the deities in the pantheon, and that his strength makes him the only one fit to rule. He perpetuates the idea that what cannot be ruled should be destoryed. Whatever a person is strong enough to claim belongs to that person by right. Mephiet hates his half brothers Corvintheus and Melkeus because they claim "divine law" must be followed. Mephiet hates his stepmother the Oracle to no end because she thwarts his plans if they would tip the balance in his favor.

Clergy and Temples: Most of Mephiets cult are cleric/assassins and vie with each other for power and position. lower level clerics operate in secret, hiding their identities and striving to appear as nothing but hard working, well meaning citizens. they usually carry Mephiet's symbol tattooed somewhere on their bodies, but do not display it openly or in any other way indicate their beliefs. this is to keep them safe from local athourites but also from higher level clerics who might view them as a threat or be forced to serve. As a clerics power grows, he becomes increasingly likely to reveal or even flaunt his position, male clerics often perfer black armor or blood red robes. Most gatherings are kept secret and done in hiding. Because temples are easy targets for there many enemies all shrines to their master are hidden or in caverns. However there are a few remote desert regions, protected by powerful clerics and minions of Mephiets.
