Followers of Lachengott

Followers of Lachengott is a lost religion primarily worshipped by Lachender demons, beings that had come from a pocket dimension known as "Lachengotts Realm". Lachengott is described as a cosmic entity that resides within his private realm, invading other worlds so that he can annoy the resident gods. He is known as a invasive god of schemes, trolling and clowns. He had created beings known as the Lachender Demons to do his bidding, and instructs them to "do a little trolling" in an attempt to make him laugh.

The Religion
Followers of Lachengott (or Lachism if you are lazy), is a form of chaos worship that believe that the beings known as a Lachender demons had come from a separate dimension to ours through a portal in eldham, these "clowns" follow the will of a cosmic entity known as Lachengott, the laughing god of endless schemes, who had sent them to entertain him through pranking the inhabitants of this world. The religion is centered around clowns, who originate from the Lachender demons strange appearance. As such the followers usually wear clown makeup to look like the emissary's of their gods.

The main religious practices of the followers of Lachengotts are "Schemes", a disambiguation of the amount of methods they use to prank others. The followers believe that Lachengott wants them to conduct large scale trolling sessions that can lead to either the clowns getting destroyed or a entire nation being tricked into a war, as such the followers look to the guidance of a local Lachender demon in order to execute a successful Scheme. The dwellings of a Lachist cult is usually adorned with clown scenery and can mostly be found under cities or in dark Undermountain's as to prevent The children of stiller finding them, because if they are found out, the mouthless "Angels" will come and slaughter them. Both the followers and Lachender demons hate the mimes, for the greatest enemy of Lachengott was the first mime, one of Lachengotts children who had gone rouge and ascended to godhood to oppose her father, as such followers target mimes indiscriminately. If they cannot find a city to imbed into, they usually create underground colonies within areas with deepslate nearby, only coming out of the dark to start another scheme or to join a city. Lachengott above all enjoys antagonization of other gods, as that is what he does as a hobby, which is invading other gods world and trolling the gods there, and gaining amusement from the fact that the now furious god cannot touch him while he is inside his realm. And because of this, religious nations are the most common target of a "Scheme", Such as a Lachist colony in Redoriv is targeting nearby religious figures for trolling, such as the rats or the goons

Most of these trolls are harmless, as they are novices in the art of trolling, but when a Lachender demon is involved, these pranks can get catastrophic if left unchecked. If the prank were to be successful, a security crisis may occur with a stronger nation, that may lead to the destruction or Vassal of a nation. As such, it is wise to keep watch on a colony if one had formed in your city.

The Origin of the religion
The followers of Lachengott came into existence only recently, as they had entered this world from a pocket dimension. It is said that there is a underground ruin of the portal the 3 purebreds and their followers entered through, the first Auguste, jester and tramp. They all split into the west, east and north respectively to achieve Lachengotts will, Lachengott had assigned them the task to spread the Lachender Demons through Eldham. This plan was foiled by a former purebred stiller(the first mime), who had opposed her father in his methods of having fun at other gods expense, resulting in her ascending to godhood and forming a rival religion filled with her own brand of Lachender demons, the mimes, known as the Children of Stiller. The Children of Stiller had gone around wiping out the Lachender demons from eldham, and then left for the Silent ones realm, a small part of Lachengotts realm that not even Lachengott can get to. However, the mimes failed to notice a single Auguste clown left in the northern regions. This one single Auguste clown had begun to spread the Lachender demons in secret after moving to the west, in a district of a capital city. It is said the ruins of the portal is hidden within the center of eldham.

Lachengott
Lachengott is the cosmic entity responsible for the creation of the Lachender daemons, he resides within a realm outside of reality known as Lachengotts realm. Lachengotts realm is a empty space that is filled with dormant Lachender daemons floating around in empty space. In the center of the realm is Lachengott, the embodiment of trolling and clowns. Lachengotts face is a contorted mess of different clowns with a big toothy mouth that covers majority of his face. Lachengott has a large nose that is made of a gem like material that reflects the past schemes and the future schemes, as well as many eyes in both his sockets to see all the points of view. He's body is described to be tall and lanky with many arms holding various masks that he uses to deceive other gods. Other than those described features, Lachengott has yet to be accurately illustrated due to the fact that only the Purebreds and high tier Lachender demons know his true form, and these individuals refuse to reveal Lachengotts true form, not even his rouge daughter Stiller would reveal him.

In the texts Lachengott is recorded to have the personality of a harmless clown, but his actions say otherwise. The laughing god invades other worlds just to play with the inhabitants, causing wars and destroying nations just for fun. The gods who reside within these worlds are usually annoyed by the chaos gods presence, but cannot do anything due to the god retreating back to Lachengotts realm whenever they confront him. Lachengott is very Prideful in his intelligence, as he is the god of schemes and trickery, he always has a plan for everything even when he loses. Although there was one instance where he lost because of his arrogance.

Lachengotts hatred of Beastfolk
For some reason the Lachender demons have a extreme hatred of Beastfolk of all kinds, going as far to risk their explosive body's to kill just one. There is a reason behind this. There was a story told by individuals of the time the god of schemes and trickery managed to lose to a minor god. Lachengott had been invading worlds, much to the annoyance of the gods who reside within those worlds. One such god was a minor Beastfolk god of trickery who had noticed the clown gods presence alongside her siblings. The first 2 siblings had tried to get rid of Lachengott using war and bargaining with the uninterested god, none of these methods worked against the chaos god. The Beastfolk god of wits and trickery had an idea to try and beat the invasive god at his own game, a game of wits. Lachengott, amused by this inferior god of wits, accepted her challenge. It was agreed that the clown god would leave if the Beastfolk won, if Lachengott won, the world shall be place into the realm of Lachengott where the inhabitants shall be imprisoned in a colorful hell. The game was a game of chess, and Lachengott had the upper hand in the beginning. But somehow a minor god of wits managed to outmaneuver a cosmic entity that was the embodiment of schemes, winning the match and forcing the Chaos god out of the world. The laughing god was furious that a mere Beastfolk managed to beat him.

And so the followers of Lachengott are commanded to target Beastfolk of any kind in any world. It is unknown what world Lachengott encountered the three Beastfolk siblings, as this story was only written in texts found within a abandoned camp of Lachender Daemons.

The Followers
The followers are a group of non Lachender demons that follow a Lachender demon who wish to receive the "Gift of Lachengott", the process of transforming into a Lachender demon themselves. They fervently follow the religion, building statues of their view of what Lachengott is. In order to achieve the gift, they conduct minor schemes in order to impress a Lachender demon, hoping that once the daemon decides if they are worthy, they may become a high tier. Followers are difficult to convince to get out of the "cult", as they are determined to serve the laughing god where ever they are needed.

The children of Stiller
A sub faction of the Followers of Lachengott are the Children of Stiller. They follow the silent one, the rouge daughter of Lachengott who had broken off with her father because she believed in the magic of performance and art, and they believe that the Lachengotts idea of entertainment is wrong. And thus Stiller ascended to godhood and became the god of performance and art. These Lachender demons are called mimes, mouthless beings who are proficient in magic, they do not share the need to cause chaos like their brethren that follow Lachengott, Instead they make art and magnificent architecture in the name of their goddess. Stiller and her children primarily reside within the realm of the silent one, a splinter dimension from Lachengotts realm that no follower of Lachengott can enter. They only enter our world when Lachender daemons are either spreading to ridiculous numbers or if a "Scheme of Lachengott" is underway. There is a hidden city that stiller had built to accommodate the mortals that have yet to transform into mimes, this city apparently can be found in the south. This city is said to be a paradise second only to The realm of the silent one, as stiller herself had built this city. Lachender daemons and Stillers Children are mortal enemies and are willing to topple nations in their way in order to get at each other. It is unknown how many of Stillers children are in the stoneworks world, but it is speculated they are in a hidden war with the Followers of Lachengott.
