Torog
Torog, The King that Crawls, is the evil god of the Underdark and imprisonment, patron of jailers and torturers. Common superstition holds that if his name is spoken, the King that Crawls burrows up from below and drags the hapless speaker underground to an eternity of imprisonment and torture. Jailers and torturers pray to him in deep caves and cellars, and creatures of the Underdark revere him as well.
In the days of creation before the Dawn War, Torog had a hated rival, a monstrous primordial named Gargash, who went into the Underdark to experiment with powers of torture and imprisonment. Torog entered the Underdark in order to destroy his nemesis at the moment before the Dawn War broke out between the gods and the primordials; Torog and Gargash were thus both left behind. They fought a millennia violent battle in which Torog finally gained the upper hand. Torog reemerged from the Underdark after the Dawn Wars conclusion.
During the War of Winter, Torog bound and imprisoned many godly armies. Sehanine and Moradin set a trap for Torog. Ellistraee and Pelor
