Though whispered rumors describe the legendary rituals needed to wrench worlds from their suns, these cultists don't learn this potent magic. Such secrets are left to grioth high priests, who are always the last to arrive in a colonized world.\n\n Most grioths worship the Outer God [Nyarlathotep](/Deities.aspx?ID=164) in one of his many incarnations, although some worship other entities of the Elder Mythos such as [Azathoth](/Deities.aspx?ID=161), [Nhimbaloth](/Deities.aspx?ID=163), or [Yog-Sothoth](/Deities.aspx?ID=166).
