The Ruiner

Credit: Critical Role

The Ruiner commands roving hordes of barbaric marauders across the lands to destroy, pillage, and slaughter for the joy of it. Orderless and without honor, the creeds of the evil lord goad all living creatures to shrug off the oppressive chains of courtesy and civilization and to devour the world around them, giving in to the chaotic and selfish nature of the predator. As civilization rises, people of all cultures feel the draw of the uncomplicated, primeval world. Some find their way to the loving embrace of the Wildmother and her sects, going on to live in harmony with nature. Others fall into the cruel thrall of the Ruiner and his bloody cults of slaughter.
Depiction: Simple clay representationsin communities of The Ruiner's followers show him as a hulking, bulbous behemoth of an orc.  His missing eye has shifted, the prominent remaining eye now centered in his face like that of a nightmarish cyclops.
