Tartarus - The Tormented One
Tatarus is the God of Chaos, Corruption and Torment. They are also the Lord of the Abyss and the Father of all Demons.
Tatarus is a savage and abominable deity, they are the embodiment of corruption and stagnation, and the personification of the Abyss, they want nothing more than to bring an end to all of creation. It is speculated that Tatarus is not anthropomorphic and rather the Abyss is the very body of Tatarus themselves.
Both Apophis and Tatarus are branded as the Gods of chaos and evil, they were imprisoned in the early universe after attempting to destroy the Gods and bring an end to all of creation. Tatarus was cast deep within the Plane of the Abyss with the intent to trap them there, but unlike their brother Apophis, Tatarus does not struggle to escape their prison and insead sends wave after wave of their Demon spawn into the universe, slowly corrupting creation over time.
Tatarus is the primary consort of the Goddess Gaia, together they created the Goddess Echidna and the Gigantes.
Because Tatarus is evil they are usually only referred to by epithets, such as “the Tormented One” or “the Maw of the Abyss” as to avoid invoking them or drawing their attention.
Tatarus is not worshipped outside of specific cults.
