Torog

the Crawling King

The dark god of the endless tunnels and caverns beneath Ardyn, Torog is the patron of torturers, slavers, and jailers across the realms. His violent tears carved the pathways under the world, and his realm of imprisonment is a network of deadly caves and manacles from which few return. Creatures that wander the desolation of Carceri often construct prisons in his image. Those who rob others of their freedom offer prayers to him in cellars and other subterranean domains, and many creatures who live in the darkness below worship him and seek his guidance.
Realm: Torog remains banished within an unknown sliver of the Far Realm that now borders the deepest pits of the Underdark, where the boundaries between worlds grow thin and birth terrible abominations bent on subjugation.
Depiction: The Crawling King is rendered as a swollen, malformed worm that slithers through the dark below, with a screaming, hairless Human head at the helm and three arms carving through the lightless rock.
Enemies: Lathander and Sarenrae defeated Torog during The Scourging by luring their nemesis above ground. Lathander pierced Torog’s tenebrous body with ten thousand lances of sunlight, and the Everlight imprisoned him beyond the boundaries of Ardyn. The tears of pain and anger the Crawling King shed burned through Ardyn, and his faithful fled into these tunnels to escape their enemies’ holy light.
