Comb & Braid

East Isles god of barbers and the island of Rathmorasomangon

  • East Isles pantheon

This exotic deity’s worshipers believe that properly grooming one’s hair is an act of sacred import which can reveal mystical secrets. They know both how to regrow hair on a bald head and to destroy unwanted hair permanently. Their island of Rathmorasomangon is desolate, a wondrous contrast to the gorgeous coiffures of the inhabitants.

Comb and Braid is portrayed as a grossly hairy being whose shaggy locks cover his torso, head, and face, leaving only his limbs relatively bare. He wields a comb, scissors, brush, and mirror in his four hands in a ludicrously aggressive fashion. His priests usually wear the sacred comb thrust into their headdress.
