Tharizdun

God of Madness (a.k.a. The Chained God, The Elder Elemental Eye)

Summary

Tharizdun is the chaotic evil god who created the Abyss. A few scattered cults of demented followers revere him, calling him the Chained God or the Elder Elemental Eye. Tharizdun doesn’t speak to his followers, so his commands are unknown, but his cults teach their members to: Channel power to the Chained God, so he can break his chains. Retrieve lost relics and shrines to the Chained God. Pursue the obliteration of the world, in anticipation of the Chained God’s liberation. Long ago, even before the Dawn War, Tharizdun discovered a shard of pure evil and decided to incubate it in a remote corner. The result was the Abyss, and the experiment drove Tharizdun to madness. In a rare show of solidarity, the rest of the gods opposed him with a unified front and eventually Pelor and Asmodeus imprisoned him in an endless and formless void. Tharizdun is commonly worshiped today in the guise of the Elder Elemental Eye, and has co-opted the aid of five Primordials to serve as his exarchs until he is able to find a way to escape from the Void.
