Torog
The King that Crawls
A malicious deity who revels in the pain and suffering of others. His bitterness and contempt for life stems from eons of imprisonment in the Underdark, a realm he resentfully claims as his own. Torog has been trapped in the Underdark since he was a young god during the Dawn War. Because he continually bullied the other young gods of the time, he has no allies - only Asmodeus and the Raven Queen deal with him, and then only for the souls of those who have died in the Underdark. Avandra seeks to free all Torog would imprison and is his greatest enemy.
The relationship between Torog and Lolth is unclear. The flight of the drow into the Underdark took everybody by surprise, as they had no previous ties there. Torog once destroyed the drow city Exaara, but for the most part he tolerates their presence. Followers of Lolth claim that the Spider Queen could easily defeat Torog if she so chose, and he ignores the drow out of fear. On the other hand, followers of Torog claim that he welcomed the drow on the condition that they swear perpetual loyalty to Lolth, knowing that there was no greater torture for such a promising race than to force them to serve a Goddess as chaotic as Lolth for all time. The truth about the history and relationship between the two gods is unknown.
Torog will fight to the death any who challenge him.
Lurking in the mortal world, he is capable and willing to directly impact current events. His assaults on the surface world are legendary and serve as a lasting reminder that he can reach up at any time to smash an unsuspecting city to dust. There is some comfort in the fact that he can do no more than that, however: he is bound to the Underdark more surely than any other god is bound to their realm, and only Tharizdun 's prison is more secure.
Torog's dominion is the King's Highway, an unusual collection of tunnels he himself made eons ago when first trying to escape.
