Mankos

Mankos was a god of justice. He was supplanted and bound by his "children," newer gods of justice, after the forms of justice he represented (burning witches at the stake and so forth) fell out of favor. Though his spirit was elsewhere, he maintained a foothold in the material realm in the form of a handful of red stone stakes called "Nails."

A cult devoted to him, led by Brother Caldous, sprang up in Wintercross and attracted the involvement of the moneyed elite (including Landar Invictus and Mytha Van Horn). Caldous sacrificed himself to bring Mankos into the world, but Mankos' long imprisonment had rendered him a mindless, formless red cloud that skeletonized everything it touched. Silifrey Woods and Migueston Invictus destabilized the mad god by throwing his Nails into Laszlo Whiteriver's untuned portal, whereupon the god was devoured by the Leech.
