Gruumsh, the Ruiner
Gruumsh commands hordes o f barbaric marauders
to destroy, pillage, and slaughter for the sheer joy of
it. Orderless and without honor, the creeds of the evil
hordemaster urge savage creatures to devour the world
around them, giving in to the chaotic and selfish nature
of the predator. A number of violent clans of humanoids
and beasts across Xhorhas pay homage to Gruumsh,
asking him to bless their hunts and gift them with spoils
worth ruining.
Gruumsh rules the barren plains of Nishrek in the
chaotic realm of Acheron, where he stokes the fury of
his twisted armies and prepares to wage a violent war
across the planes.
Depiction
Primitive clay representations in barbaric communities of his followers show the Ruiner as a hulking, bulbous behemoth of an ore. His missing eye has shifted, and the prominent eye is now centered in his face, like a nightmarish cyclops.Enemies
Corellon shot out Gruumsh's right eye during the Calamity, and the god of slaughter longs for the day he can return the favor twofold. Those who serve the Ruiner are sometimes hypnotized by his hateful rage from across the Divine Gate and fall into a strange bloodlust, longing to slaughter elves and those who worship magic at the altar of the Arch Heart.Commandments of Gruumsh
• Ruin. Conquer. Kill.• The weak exist to be crushed by the strong. Be the strong.
• There are no emotions but fury and joy. The rest are weakness .
