Rovagug and Aeons

[Flintheart Glomgold]

So I'm not sure if this is the case or not but these Aeons seem like they would be directly opposed to the machinations of Rovagug or Visa versa. If Aeons seek to keep reality in balance and repair things where they can Rovagug is all about destroying the what they seek to preserve. Which led me down the rabbit hole of asking if it's possible for Rovagug to corrupt individual Aeons to do the opposite of what they are meant to do?

Also more on Rovagug, are there examples of more subtle worshipers of Rovagug working within organizations to destroy them. Also could there be lawful evil worshipers of Rovagug who see destroying existence as the ultimate way to achieve perfect order as there is nothing left to create disorder?

1. It's possible, but it seems more likely that Rovagug would simply destroy the aeon rather than corrupt it.
That being said it is possible, though rare, for an aeon to become "corrupted" all on its own, favoring one of its two aspects over the other.

In rare cases, aeons have been known to deviate from the whims of the multiverse. Such rogue aeons typically arise from interacting with other races excessively, living beyond their intended times, being exposed to unusual ideas, or being forced to perform acts they otherwise wouldn't contemplate. These aeons typically take on extreme personalities, coming to favor one aspect of their being over the other—an akhana is just as likely to become an artist of life as a mass murderer. Normal aeons perceive their rogue brethren as high-priority disturbances in the balance of the multiverse and seek the destruction of such rarities with all haste.

2. Not that I can remember off-hand, but if you wanted some cultists who worked that way, I would suggest first looking at the Hidden Ones from the Cult of the Devourer, courtesy of Starfinder.

3. There may be worshipers of Rovagug with that ethos, but since their ethical outlook would be so different they wouldn't receive any of his "blessings," and they would more likely worship another existence-ending force, like the Four Horsemen, or the Asura Ranas, or possibly something like the nightshades.

That was my thought too - you have to be a real believer in a deities philosophy to gain champion or cleric class features from them, and they likely won't give you blessings or intercessions or anything like that either.

You could appear to be a worshipper and be manipulating/furthering the goals of a deities church for your own reasons, but you won't have any of those blessings or class features (though you could probably fake it through other sources of power).

Rovagug would eat the aeons if it could. I think its opposed to pretty much everything.

I've always thought Rovagug is connected to the Cthulhu deities and there was some note somewhere in some book stating that it was a possbility.

I think there is little doubt about the relationships between the Great Old Ones and aeons.
