Nightworks by Skopje

Al-Qaum (Arabic: القوم) was the Nabataean god of war and the night, and guardian of caravans. He is said to have drunk no wine, which was typical of the non-agricultural desert gods. In order to fit in with western civilization, Al-Qaum was later associated with the Greek/Roman god Ares or Mars. Large numbers of inscriptions bearing his name have been found, and some archeologists think he was a key god to the Nabataeans, protecting them at night. As a night god, he protected the souls of the sleepers in the form of stars, accompanying them on their nightly journey through the heavenly realms, as well as guiding caravans in the desert by means of the stars.
