Zehk

The God-King

Zehk, the God King

The lord of the Astral plane Zxczit.   Often regarded as the most diabolical, Zehk employs the use of shadow clad humanoid figures named Phthral to employ his bidding. Phthral are manifestations of life twisted into monstrosities. They are a parasitic, tribal people when not under Zehk’s influence, constantly warring in order to sustain themselves. Most prevalent are the Naerûn, powerful spellcasters who harness the energy of death in pale imitations of Zehk’s power.   Zehk is titled the "God-King", a title that he stole from Iriall after the war between the Infinite Ones left Iriall little more than a weak roaming spirit.   His realm is the largest, and is a very chaotic place. It contains the remnants of countless realms of infinite ones too weak to maintain a hold of their own being. Zehk has never suffered a true banishment, as his control over death allows him to vacate his avatar as its death energy is released, rather than have a part of himself be lost with the death energy.
