Shargaas the Night Lord lives in a tremendous cavern system below
the fiery plain of one of the levels of Gehenna. It is said that his
caves
extend infinitely, and are darker than the blackest night. There no
creature has sight but Shargaas himself and his orcish spirit servants.
Shargaas, though blinded completely by light from the sun, can see
perfectly well in darkness out to a range of a mile or more. He can
also
climb any surface, even perfectly smooth ones, without slipping. In
the days when he is said to have walked upon the earth, Shargaas
could also hide himself and his followers so well that no mortal could
detect his ambushes or lairs.
Clerics Raiment Sacrifice/Propitiation

As might be expected, orcish bandits and half-orc thieves hold Shargaas
as their patron, as do other regular orc tribes. Clerics of Shargaas
are multi-classed (cleric/thieves or clericlassassins) if they are
half-orcs; it is rumored that even orcish shamans and witch doctors
have some small degree of thieving or assassination skill (probably
some 05-30% success at one or two abilities like hiding in shadows,
picking pockets, or assassination from surprise). The major religious
holidays in the worship of Shargaas are the times of the new moon,
when the sky is dark and cloudy.
