Aroch the Self; He of Woe

Aroch (the Self / He of Woe): Aroch is the dark brother to Irshan and is diametrically opposed to those lofty ideals. Aroch represents those that feel that they need only look out for themselves, not everyone else as well and that only through their own actions can they achieve their goals. This disregard for the sanctity of the wills of others, up to an including the value of their life, is, from a human standpoint, inherently evil. The view of the self over all others is called Woe. Aroch’s priests wear a loosely woven robe as their vestige and they wear chainmail armor in battle. Aroch’s symbol is a demonic standard that resembles a blackened horned bull skull with arms distending outward, from which trail 7 standards to represent the 7 virtues of humanity.
