Sung Chiang

The closest thing that the Xsian people have to a native Dark God, Sung Chiang is a deity that is supposed to have stolen immortality for himself after becoming a highly proficient thief in Fa-Bul. Throughout history he has sometimes been seen in the mortal world: from these reports it is known that he has six arms and three faces. Shang-Ti is said to have named him the patron of policemen in the Empire, but he is unofficially the patron of thieves, assassins and murderers. He is also seen by some as a symbol of the virtue of ability-over-birthright and self-made men; archetypical of those who subscribe to this philosophy (and take Sung Chiang as a patron) was the Kai Dynasty lord Kao Meng De, who worked his way up through the civil service to become one of the most powerful landowners in Fa-Bul.
