Torog
Torog is the god of Subjugation. Torog is largely depicted as a swollen, malformed worm slithering through the darkness below with a hairless human head at the helm, three arms carving through a lightless rock. He has fifteen bones shoved through the top of his skull, which he treats as his crown. His eyelids and cheeks are nothing but bleeding holes set forth in his head and he always has blood in his eyes.
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.
He teaches his worshipers to:
Seek out and revere the deep places beneath the earth.
Delight in the giving of pain, and consider pain you receive as homage to Torog.
Bind tightly what is in your charge, and restrain those who wander free.

Torog rarely intervenes directly in mortal affairs, but when he does take a personal interest in a creature, the effect is as terrible as the god himself.Minor Boon:
The Jailor turns your blood and pain into chains of the Underdark's darkness to destroy your foes. Once, for 1 minute, whenever you take slashing, piercing, or bleed damage, chains rip forth from your body, affecting creatures in a line from your position in the direction of the attack (or in the direction of your choice for bleed damage or if you deal the damage yourself) with the effect of a grim tendrils spell whose level is equal to half your level rounded up, and whose DC is your highest spell DC (or 10 + your level + your Wisdom modifier if you have no spell DC).Moderate Boon:
Each morning, during your daily preparations, scars gather into words on your flesh. The scars function as a scroll of a divine spell of Torog’s choosing. After you use the scroll or receive magical healing, the boon fades for the day, though some or all of the scars might remain as a reminder.Major Boon:
Shadows are deeper around you. Darkvision and greater darkvision cannot penetrate darkness within 60 feet of you, but you can see through it normally.Minor Curse:
You are surrounded by spectral chains that cause you to always be encumbered and that have the same effects as armor with the noisy trait.Moderate Curse:
You share the pain of others, and even minor wounds bring you incredible pain. Whenever you see (or otherwise sense) a creature take damage, you take 1d6 mental damage. Whenever you take damage any other way than from the first part of this curse, you take 1d6 mental damage from increased pain and are sickened 1. Mental damage from this curse ignores any resistance you have to mental damage.Major Curse:
Torog steals away your joy, leaving you with only pain. You lose that which you cherish the most forever, and lose the ability to feel joy. You can’t gain benefits from emotion effects based on positive emotions. If Torog feels you are ready to renounce, destroy, mutilate, or torture that which you once cherished most, he might return it to you to allow you to do so.
