The Devil God has earned a rather special place among the gods. While he's often disliked for him and his fellow devils using shady tactics to tempt mortals into hell, he himself seeks to do one thing: Lock away all evil and torture it for all eternity.

Spheres of Influence: Belial is associated with Tyranny and Sin first and foremost. As a result, many places consider him a taboo god to look up to. However, some, such as the country of Zerif, respect his zeal in weeding out the guilty, placing Punishment as one of his most important spheres of influence.

Relations

Xalon: Murielle and Xalon both serve as the protectors of Erilen, and work together in preventing incursions from outside forces. The two naturally get along quite well, but Murielle prefers handling things differently; she sees  'Glory' as something that should be left behind in favor of justice.

Murielle: Murielle has an uneasy alliance with the Devil god. While the two are often seen as rivals, they are most known for working alongside Lamashtu in sealing away Rhysvial.

Amelia(Mother): Though not a technical child by any means, Murielle was said to be crafted from a piece of Amelia's soul. The two love eachother endearingly, and Murielle will rush to Amelia's add at any given moment.

Rhysvial: Like most gods, Belial absolutely hates Rhysvial. These feelings are returned, as the Dragon God seeks to one day be freed of his prison to bring hell onto Erilen. What makes the gods fear Belial, however, is that he holds the key to the Dragon God's cage, meaning that he could easily unleash Rhysvial's wrath upon the world.

Amelia: Surprisingly enough, Amelia and Belial get along quite well, and are in fact seen as very close friends. The Devil God is sometimes even depicted playing puzzle games with her, such as chess.

	Followers of Murielle seek to spread mutual benevolence for the greater good of the world. The Mareien Church is usually well decorated; with a large courtyard that always sports a vast garden. The garden is often where most of the worshipers do their meditating, as opposed to the actual shrines. The Shrines are typically where the warriors and priests of her faith lie, where they both spread teachings and carry out certain duties (such as the cleansing of demons, for example.)

	Temples dedicated to Belial are black and generally designed with a diabolical motif. Jagged, spiked spires and red interiors are common, and they are  found throughout every major hold of Zerif. The temples are typically nearby major governmental buildings. In places outside of Zerif, he is typically worshiped in secret.

	As stated before, the followers of Murielle have an end goal of essentially enkindling world peace. Despite this, they are certainly not above taking arms against those that wish to oppose this ideal.

32
	Old Belian churches were actually originally the church of another faith, which is meant to represent his dominance, with the former gods bowing before his might. Since the end of the 2nd Dynasty however, this has been seen as arrogance on the priest's part; Belial seeks to cleanse the guilty, not conquer some god.
