Yes, I know I'm not a god yet. This symbol is drawn in some old books though.



I havent found the word in English for what the Wisp is about, but it involves the darkness in the deepest caves, the slow wearing down by black waters, secrets and forgotten things in listless pools, the madness and loneliness of being lost below the earth, and the feeling that the person you were closest to left you there.

Worshippers favor (or are) slimes/aquatic/aberrant grafts or summons
Open worshippers involve the colors black, purple, and crimson
Favor bio/chemical weapons (smallpox, pneumonic plague, pitch/sulfur/mustard combos)
Outbreaks of plague/breaking of aquaducts/despoiling land and water are signs of their approach
also, wraiths/decay scavenger bugs/other critters of systemic breakdown

the high priest (perhaps only sentient priest):
surrounded by slimes/amphibious things
they hate each other, but use each other
{sigil} needs the worship to exist
priest parasitically draws power from it
binds the shadow/avatar of it, forces secrets

http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=6739.0;wap2

ritual sites have hallocogenic inhalants made from mushrooms/moss, chants, metal masks that dont cover the mouth, cone helms
building materials favor basalt, aragonite, geothermal taps, arches and domes connected by tiny tunnels (slimes, bugs, wraiths can pass them)

http://io9.gizmodo.com/5848192/giant-prehistoric-krakens-may-have-sculpted-self-portraits-using-ichthyosaur-bones

Underwater creatures have had ~4 billion years of evolution on earth, and some of them made into the caves deep below. And some of them discovered worship.
