Soth

Soth is a god of Dichotism, one of the Fallen. Soth was once one of the Risen, a god of resolve, ambition, triumph. When his greatest love, the goddess Illia, was slain by Artius, his heart was consumed by despair. The rest of the Risen tried to lift him from his despair. Even Aravand, the new goddess of love, could not do so. As the ages passed, when the Mortal Bulwark was finally created, Soth found he no longer belonged with the Risen in Celestia, and he relegated himself to Infernus as one of the Fallen. Like all of the Fallen, Soth isn't given the dignity of a humanoid form. He is most commonly depicted in Dichotist art as a puddle of tar, or some sort of consuming dark substance. This represents the insidious way in which despair works, creeping upon and trapping its victims, drowning them slowly.
