Torog

The King That Crawls

Ages ago Torog fought a monstrous primordial deep within the Underdark. The battle left him trapped below, cursed with a permanently shattered body. His countless torturous attempts to leave for the surface left him bitter and broken. When the god finally emerged, he found the Rift had already begun, and most of his comrades had abandoned him on the material plane. Torog’s deep anger and resentment towards his divine brethren has left him with few allies.
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.
