Phlegethon is the patron of tyrants and considered to be the gravest of evils, even worse than Dagon, in the Aebasan Orthodoxy. Even the Empire of Zeth, arguably the most efficient modern tyranny, proscribes the worship of Phlegethon, though some of its more prominent families, particularly House Gabinius, are rumored to secretly worship the Tyrant-Lord. Despised even by his fellow descendants of Dagon, Phlegethon promotes the concept that the strongest are meant to rule and all others are subjects and to be treated as such. His clergy, where they exist, are hierarchical in the extreme and, despite their bloated ranks, tend to be an extremely efficient engine.
Phlegethon is worshipped openly only in the former Empire of Bakal, where the worship of any deity considered an enemy of Phlegethon is anathema. Phlegethon’s most dire enemy, surprisingly, is his own father, Enosigaois, God of Earth. Conflicts between the two are legendary as Phlegethon sees him as a stepping-stone towards becoming King of the Gods.
As Apholeon, he is given grudging respect as the patron of fortifications where worship of Evander, God of Gates, is weak.
