- Chemosh is the god of death. His worshipers used to be old people, necromancers, and people who were afraid of death. During a rough patch after the War of Souls he decided that in order to get new worshipers he needed to give death a pretty face. To this end he took Mina as a servant/lover and sent her to go through Ansalon and create creatures known as the Beloved of Chemosh, near-invincible, beautiful vampires that can only be killed by the swat of a innocent child. Once a child hits one the Beloved is destroyed and the child isn't comsidered innocent anymore.

| abstract | - Chemosh (pronounced /ˈkiːmɒʃ/; from Hebrew: כמש [keˈmoʃ]), was the god of the Moabites (Num. 21:29; Jer. 48:7, 13, 46). The etymology of "Chemosh" is unknown. He is also known from Ebla as Kamish. According to the Hebrew Bible, the worship of this god, "the abomination of Moab," was introduced at Jerusalem by Solomon (1 Kings 11:7), but was abolished by Josiah (2 Kings 23:13). On the Moabite stone, Mesha (2 Kings 3:5) ascribed his victories over the king of Israel to this god, "And Chemosh drove him before my sight." According to Morris Jastrow, Jr. and George A. Barton in the Jewish Encyclopedia, The national god of the Moabites. He became angry with his people and permitted them to become the vassals of Israel; his anger passed, he commanded Mesha to fight against Israel, and Moabitish independence was reestablished (Moabite Stone, lines 5, 9, 14 et seq.). A king in the days of Sennacherib was called "Chemoshnadab" ("K. B." ii. 90 et seq. ; see Jehonadab). Chemosh was a god associated with the Semitic mother-goddess Ashtar, whose name he bears (Moabite Stone, line 17; compare Barton, "Semitic Origins," iv.). Peake wrongly holds that Ashtar-Chemosh was a deity distinct from Chemosh, while Moore and Bäthgen ("Beiträge zur Semitischen Religionsgeschichte," p. 14) regard "Ashtar" in this name as equivalent to "Astarte," who they believe was worshipped in the temple of Chemosh. "Ashtar" is more probably masculine here, as in South Arabia, and another name for Chemosh, the compound "Ashtar-Chemosh" being formed like "Yhwh-Elohim" or "Yhwh-Sebaoth." Whatever differences of conception may have attached to the god at different shrines, there is no adequate reason for doubting the substantial identity of the gods to whom these various names were applied. Hosea ix. 10 is proof that at some period (according to Wellhausen, at the time of the prophet himself) the impure cult of the Semitic goddess was practised at Baal-peor (compare Wellhausen, "Kleine Prophetell"; Nowack's Commentary; and G. A. Smith, "Twelve Prophets," ad loc.). Chemosh, therefore,was in general a deity of the same nature as Baal. On critical occasions a human sacrifice was considered necessary to secure his favor (compare II Kings iii. 27), and when deliverance came, a sanctuary might be built to him (Moabite Stone, line 3). An ancient poem, twice quoted in the Old Testament (Num. xxi. 27-30; Jer. xlviii. 45, 46), regards the Moabites as the children of Chemosh, and also calls them "the people of Chemosh. The name of the father of Mesba, Chemosh-melek ("Chemosh is Malik" or "Chemosh is king"; compare Moabite Stone, line 1), indicates the possibility that Chemosh and Malik (or Moloch) were one and the same deity. Judges xi. 24 has been thought by some to be a proof of this, since it speaks of Chemosh as the god of the Ammonites, while Moloch is elsewhere their god (compare I Kings xi. 7, 33). Several critics regard the statement in Judges as a mistake; but such an error was not unnatural. since both Chemosh and Moloch were developed, in different environments, from the same primitive divinity, and possessed many of the same epithets. Solomon is said to have built a sanctuary to Chemosh on the Mount of Olives (I Kings xi. 7, 33), which was maintained till the reform of Josiah (II Kings xxiii. 13). This movement by Solomon was no doubt to some extent a political one, but it made the worship of Chemosh a part of the religious life of Israel for nearly 400 years". However, according to II Kings xi. 7, evidence is given that Chemosh and Moloch were two different gods or perhaps two manifestations of the same god, at least to the peoples who worshiped them. Solomon had "high places" built for both gods at the same time and in the same location, "on the mountain which is East of Jerusalem." Both Chemosh and Molech may have had the same origins but if so, by Solomon's time they had been denominated into differing objects for different peoples, Chemosh for the Moabites and Moloch for the Ammonites. According to Genesis xix. 30-38, both the Moabites and the Ammonites were descended from the two sons of Lot (themselves half-brothers by his two daughters), Moab and Ben-ammi, which would corroborate the notion that they share a common origin.

- Chemosh, stwórca i władca nieumarłych, to jedno z pierwszych, bóstw, które dołączyło do Królowej Ciemności w buncie przeciw Najwyższemu Bogu i porządkowi Stworzenia. Przywołuje on z martwych i ożywia ciała, a dusze bierze do niewoli. Kusi śmiertelników obietnicami wiecznego "życia", a skazuje na straszliwą egzystencję nieumarłych niewolników. Nauki Życiogubcy skierowane do śmiertelników to skomplikowana siatka kłamstw, obliczona z myślą o przyciągnięciu na jego stronę, czyli na stronę dobrotliwego boga w okrutnym świecie (bo takim się w owej pajęczynie kłamstw jawi). Dogmaty wyznawane przez wiernych Chemoshowi (a czasem nawet przez kapłanów) niekoniecznie odbijają prawdziwe poglądy bóstwa, gdyż dane przekonania popiera on po to, aby zwieść śmiertelników pod swą władzę. Kapłani Chemosha starają się podważyć pracę religii Dobra, odciągając śmiertelnych od życia w stronę parodii żywota oferowanej przez Pana Śmierci. Większość wyznawców opisywanego boga działa potajemnie, zwiększając szeregi kultu dzięki fałszywym obietnicom nieśmiertelności. Sekretność oznacza, że hierarchia kościoła Chemosha nie ma scentralizowanej władzy. Wielu kapłanów zachowuje pozycję przez pokolenia, używając mocy do zachowania władzy nawet po śmierci, przekształcając się w liczów i inne straszne istoty. Kapłani Chemosha podczas jesiennego przesilenia odprawiają tajemny rytuał, prosząc swego pana o ocalenie przed wieczną zimą śmierci. Nowi wyznawcy boga zazwyczaj tej nocy bywają konsekrowani swemu mrocznemu zwierzchnikowi, zaprzedając się mu w zamian za - jak im powiedziano - ucieczkę przed ostatecznym końcem. Rytuały "odrodzenia" mają miejsce w ciągu całego roku, gdy kapłani ożywiają zwłoki dla zwiększenia mocy Chemosha. Chemosh to podwładny Królowej Ciemności, z której kapłanami i wyznawcami jego słudzy często współdziałają. Szczególną nienawiścią darzy Majere, który ucieleśnia wiarę w nauki Najwyższego Boga i dyscyplinę w dążeniu do prawości oraz cnót.

Once a child hits one the Beloved is destroyed and the child isn't comsidered innocent anymore. Presently there are no more of the Beloved in Ansalon. Though Mina recruited them in the name of Chemoshm they were actually bound to her, as she was also a god, though she did not know it. The Beloved would only obey her commands, making them more her followers than Chemosh. When Mina realises that she is a Godess she destroys all of the Beloved, and Chemosh vows to return to his usual minions.
