Vasgorath, or the The Reaper of Souls, The Sovereign of Sins, and The Daemon Father is the Sovereign of every undead, daemonic, sinful creature that preys upon the people of Goralon. His unholy symbol is a three-eyed Umbral Dragon head half of which is undead. This can be represented in many ways. His sacred animal is the umbral dragon.

History
Creation
Vasgorath was the outcome of 5 souls joining together in an effort to save Goralon. Those 5 souls are Charon, Urgathoa, Zon-Kuthon, Baalzebul, and Asmodeus. Vasgorath's creation destroyed those 5 gods and all of their power belonged to him. Because of this every god was vying for his power. But Vasgorath ended up in the hands of Tiamat and Dahak.
Rise to power
When Vasgorath was wise enough to learn of his power he used it and created his own plane of existence. The plane of the void a place filled with negative energy. The plane had a race of daemonic undead construct creatures called the corruption. Which he descended down upon Goralon He then through sheer might conquered every other plane except Goralon.

Appearance
He had the lower half of a spider, upper half of an unbral dragon, with 4 daemon arms and many construct parts. He has also the qualities of a lich

Church of Vasgorath
Clergy
Vasgorath's priests are primarily composed of clerics, necromancers, liches, vampires, and every other undead and daemonic creature. They have few responsibilities to uphold. For example helping those who desire undeath, Help spread the use of the forbidden magics, and gain more power. Understandably, they often are secretive of their religious inclinations in public. The priests have been known to compel their enemies to eat their own fallen comrades. The ceremonial clothes of Vasgorath's worshipers are a black and dark red heavy armor chestplate with a large blood stone in the center. They also have a black and dark red greaves and helmets Most ceremonies involve sacrificing souls to him, putting a daemon host in followers and raising more undead.
Reaping
Priests of Vasgorath practice a ritual known as the Reaping. The priest will put their outfit and arm himself with a vorpal unholy scythe. The priest then heads out into the world to cause as much death and destruction to harvest as many souls as he can before he is driven back to his sanctuary. They believe that if Vasgorath is pleased by the outcome of the Reaping, she will grant a boon to the priest.

Temples and shrines
Vasgorath's temples are modeled after Castles, with a large altar. Usually, temples are near a graveyard, a place where lost souls are present or a crypt, frequently inhabited by ghouls. His greatest temples are often guarded by daemonic servants. His largest temple in Geb, and it being a nation of undead, perhaps the largest in the world.

In my campaign, one of my characters wants to become a lich and I told him in a vision that he needed these items for the ritual
Astral Essence - to preserve his soul from time
Daemon Blood - To have a being to guide his soul and protect it
ground Hand of a Murderer - Used to hold his soul
An unholy symbol of his god - To show his gratitude to the undead
Ground Drocolich Bone
Wyvern Poison
Umbral dragon heart blood
Stardust
Grund Unicorn Horn
The object he wants to be his phylactery - a large bloodstone

Steps of ritual
1. put the mixture of wyvern poison, heart blood, daemon blood into a skull of his race in the satanic circle
2. Put the mixture of dracolich bone, star dust, horn, essence and burn it in the circle
3. Put the blood stone in the circle in a bowl of your blood
4. He lays in the circle with the symbol on his chest
5. He says a spell in a long lost undead language
He then as he is saying the spell floats up and the soul separates from him out of the symbol. The god needs to corrupt it. Then it is coated in the blood mixture and is hardened with the dry mixture and then goes in the blood stone
This must be done at noght while a Blood moon is high
IF the soul is not corrupted he will become a daemon
If the spell is saikd wrong he dies
If the item is not in a pool of his blood he become a restless spirit
