Rak Tulkhesh

Called the Rage of War, Rak Tulkhesh is the incarnation of impulses that drives many mortals to battle. Fear, greed, hatred—these are seeds that the Rage of War sows in the hopes of producing a bloody harvest.   Rak Tulkhesh typically takes the form of a vaguely draconic creature twisted by demonic rage. Covered in iron spikes protruding from his bleeding flesh, this overlord looms fifteen feet high at the shoulders, and his wings span over forty feet. While in combat, Rak Tulkhesh roars in rage as new weapons are spawned from his body, called forth by the Rage of War to slaughter all who dare stand before him.   Shards. Rak Tulkhesh’s soul is divided among a group of shards spread through the underworld and is confined to those shards by the light of the Silver Flame. While shattered and bound, the Rage of War can’t bring his full power to bear on the world. But he can influence events in the vicinity of any of his shards, drawing power from acts of violence.   The Last War was a boon that allowed Rak Tulkhesh to darken the hearts of soldiers and civilians alike, whose actions then weakened the overlord’s bonds to give him even greater sway over the regions surrounding his shards. The violence seen in Thaliost and other occupied cities, the hatred against warforged and Cyran refugees, the calls for a return to war—all these things bear the mark of Rak Tulkhesh’s malign influence.   Minions of Rak Tulkhesh. Any organization that fosters hatred unwittingly serves Rak Tulkhesh, and countless soldiers in the Five Nations are devoted to the Rage of War. Many of the Carrion Tribes of the Demon Wastes likewise serve Rak Tulkhesh and yearn to carry his bloody banner into the soft lands of the south. The minotaurs of Droaam revere Rak Tulkhesh as the Horned Prince. But the most powerful of the overlord’s followers is the rakshasa Mordakhesh the Shadowsword—Rak Tulkhesh’s exarch among the Lords of Dust, who commands a host of fiends exerting the overlord’s will across Khorvaire.
