The Sulfur God is an obscure deity in the universe of Fear & Hunger. While he makes an appearance in Ending C of Fear & Hunger 2: Termina not much is known about him.
Lore
It is said he was born when Alll-mer ascended and cast aside his subconscious, hatred-filled parts into the sulfur pits. The link between the two is confirmed by the description of the Sulfur spell Longinus which refers to the Sulfur God as Alll-mer. Daan's backstory reveals that the cult uses something that matches the description of a Perfection Circle for their rituals. Other details surrounding this deity remain obscured, with his presence continuously resurfacing over the course of many Festivals of Termina. Notably the one taking place in 1942.
Despite the limited knowledge surrounding the God, it is evident that a devoted following exists in the form of the Cult of Sulfur under the leadership of Per'kele, who serves as the primary orchestrator of the Festival of Termina in the city of Prehevil. The purpose of this gathering is to recruit the winner of said festival to serve as the true representative of the Cult of Sulfur. The rest of the souls are said to go in the Sulfur Pits to burn for the rest of eternity.
The runic symbol of the Sulfur God embodies a fusion of two distinct alchemical symbols, namely Ignis, represented by an upward-pointing triangle, and Sulfur, depicted as an inverted cross within a triangle.
Trivia
- Considering his relations to Alll-mer, he might be partially inspired by Lucifer/Satan, along with hell, as sulfur was often used as the symbol of hell and eternal damnation.
- The sigil of the Sulfur God is the alchemical sign of sulfur and the philosophical sign of fire, which emerged from the doctrine of the elements of nature. The meaning of the sigil can be translated as burning sulfur.
