Malachai, or He-Who-Walks-Between-the-Stalks, is one of the Ancient Gods or Anganach. His followers believe that they must make ritual blood sacrifices to appease Malachai or he would fail to provide them with a bountiful harvest. His symbol is a sneering black face crowned with corn stalks. Some believe he may be connected to the sphere of fertility. Signs of Malachai's displeasure include blights, blizzards, and children who die in childbirth.
