Pope Shroombeard: Founder of Myconism

Backstory
Jondak of clan Stonebeard was a Dwarf. He lived his life like any other dwarf rough, drunk, and a devotee of the Goddess Yora and the God of blood Tokad before the dwarves were led astray. However, he lived long ago for he has been dead for centuries laying on an abandon Island. That was until Mycelium became the dominate organism on the island. Where he once laid in a field was now sprouting with mushrooms and spores. And it were those very spores that infected his dead body with Necromancy magic. The spores had reanimated his body. Given a new life as Jondak of clan Shroombeard he dedicated himself to the spores that saved him. However, this form would not last. The rotting dwarvish flesh began to decay away. Now all is left is a sentient Parastic Fungus. The Fungus has the memories of Pope Shroombeard and carries his titles. But no one can ever truly know if his current form is really Pope Shroombeard or a fungal hive mind.

Myconism
Pope Shroombeard is a priest and the founder of the Myconism religion. One of the most recognizable religions in Eldham. Myconism is dominate in Gloomshroom Isle, the ground in which the first temple was built as well as the Holy City of Mýkitas City. Each day the religion gains more Funguys. Myconism is based on worshipping the fungus that creates life itself. It has created Myconids, Mushrooms, and has revived Pope Shroombeard. Even the Nether which some refer to as Hell in other religions is not free from the grasps of the fungus. Nylium and Mycelium are both unique and life giving fungus that will spread and will ingulf the world some day. It is our job as Funguys, devotees of Myconism, to be the stewards of Fungus.

Mýcos Cathedral
Pope Shroombeard has built Mýcos Cathedral with his bare hands and masonry. As a dwarf Pope Shroombeard is very skilled in the art of stonework. The Cathedral is made out of pure stone and andesite. Each brick carefully placed and each pillar masterfully standing strong. The temple intended to be dedicated to the Myconism religion. Mýcos Cathedral is on the island of Gloomshroom Isle where Myconism was created.
