Common Worship

Nod does not enjoy much common worship. In fact knowledge of his sects and influences isn't a polite topic for conversation, and even then is only spoken of in whispers.

Those who know, know to fear his powers, as dabbling the writings of his followers often ends in madness. His name is spoken as a curse when faced with unknown horrors by those who know it, though doing so holds no meaning to any of his devout.
