Yorg was the god of adolescent males fascinated with Nazis and defacing women's magazines. He was most active between the years 1979 and 1985. At the peak of his power, his followers would hold court in trailer-style temples cutting eyes from photos of models in women's magazines and reading nonchalantly from Mein Kampf with no sense of irony.
Towards the end of his tenure, Yorg's followers attempted to reformulate his persona as a kind of deified politico. However, his powers were already waning at a rate that paralleled the growth of his followers' reasoning abilities and developing empathic responses to tragedy.
Yorg's message and rallying cry disappeared in the throaty birdsong of the New Morning.
