The [[Demon lord|demon lord]] '''Shax''' (pronounced SHAX)<ref>{{Cite book/Campaign Setting|247}}</ref> revels in acts of sadistic torture, cruelty and bloody murder.<ref name="ISWG232">{{Cite book/The Inner Sea World Guide|232}}</ref>

==Background==
===Unholy symbol===
Shax's unholy symbol features a pool of blood with a curved white feather in it.<ref name="SV85">{{Cite book/Sword of Valor|85}}</ref>

==Home==
Shax is said to dwell in the [[Abyssal realm]] of [[Charnelhome]]<ref>{{Cite book/The Great Beyond|29}}</ref>, which is supposed to resemble a realm of endless rooms each filled with horrific torture implements.<ref name="DiMp62" />

==Appearance==
Shax has a statuesque human torso and is always bedecked with knives, razors and other bloody implements of torture. Shax's most abnormal feature is the dove's head that sits atop his muscular neck. Shax has the unnervingly dark emotionless eyes of a psychopath and has a blood-covered beak, which he uses to eat the eyes of his still living victims: a particularly favourite activity. Shax's legs are also bird-like, not just his head, giving him a strange hybrid appearance.<ref>{{Cite book/The Great Beyond|29}}</ref><ref name="ISWG232"/>

==Cult and worshipers==
Shax does not really have any sort of organised church thanks to the deranged nature of most of his worshipers: his cultists are generally lone deranged killers or warmongers seeking luck and glory in their deeds.<ref name="ISWG232"/> Some of these monstrous sadists are not insane loners, but the corrupted scions of decadent noble houses, led through hedonism and cruelty to kidnap the poor and unfortunate and exact Shax's bloody will upon them.<ref name="DiMp62">{{Cite book/Descent into Midnight|62}}</ref>

As well as lone, surface-dwelling psychopaths, in the depths of the [[Darklands]], Shax is worshiped by the [[Drow|drow]] of [[House Vexidyre]], who serve as deadly controllers of [[Zirnakaynin|Zirnakaynin's]] markets.<ref>{{Cite book/Endless Night|51}}</ref> He is also worshiped there by [[choker]]s and [[derro]]s.<ref name="LoC24">{{Cite book/Lords of Chaos|24}}</ref> The [[marilith]] [[Varmirhias]], who dwells within [[Zirnakaynin]], is known as the "Daughter of Shax", but it is not clear if she is actually related to the [[demon lord]].<ref>{{cite book/Into the Darklands|43}}</ref>

Shax is worshiped by his creations, the [[babau]] [[demon]]s, whom he still creates. Shax makes particularly powerful ones by flaying still living victims before the final Abyssal transformation.<ref name="LoC24"/> He is also venerated by some [[shadow demon]]s,<ref name="LoC24" /> and is served on [[Golarion]] by a band of them that controls a tribe of [[Kellid]] barbarians in [[Frostmire|Frostmire's]] [[Sabertooth Vale]] in the [[Worldwound]].<ref>{{cite book/The Worldwound|6}}</ref>

Some [[mohrg]]s that revel in torturing still-living victims choose to worship Shax instead of [[Urgathoa]].<ref>{{cite book/Undead Revisited|32}}</ref>
