Devils of Argaenothruzil (Gods part 3)

 

Rauroth

God of Vengeance

Rauroth the Burning One is the god of revenge, fury, lust, and fire. The sun is often called Rauroth's Eye when it is shining particularly hot in the summer or in deserts. He is the patron god of gogs who embrace their fiendish parentage. Rauroth's name is most often invoked as an expletive when in rage, and to lose one's own mind to strong emotions and passions is to worship the Burning One. 

Rauroth is depicted as a red-eyed man engulfed in flames.

Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell.

Khlamul

God of Power

Khlamul Storm-Bringer is the god of lightning, the violent tempest, and forbidden secrets and knowledge. He often passes himself off as the least evil as the Other Three, offering useful and even benevolent information to those who seek it from him. While it may be true that Khlamul is true to his word, his deals often come with strings attached that ultimately corrupt his signatories or leave them enslaved to a debt of evil. He is the patron god of magic elves, whom he often uses to both improve his image and drag others to his will. He is also the inventor of Sorcery, a more unstable form of the Arcane magic that he and Henaeros revealed long ago.

Khlamul is depicted as a bald man with white eyes that crackle with lightning.

D'nethrokash

God of Chaos

D'nethrokash the Corrupter is less a god and more a force of pure destructive ruin. Bitterness from the division of the Intelligences eons ago has led D'nethrokash to want nothing more than the absolute destruction and decomposition of all matter and life on Argaenothruzil. But he is not an angry god like Rauroth; he seeks this goal with uttermost patience, content to slowly corrupt and deceive mortals into becoming part of his destructive plans. He sees no reason not to promote creation if it will lead to utter destruction in the long-term. D'nethrokash is also the creator of the vile necromantic magic known as Hothmancy.

Most people are too afraid of D'nethrokash to conceive of a consistent depiction of his form. Most are content to show him as an abstract horned cloud of smoke with violet eyes.

D'nethrokash's Champions

Alignment: Always evil, usually chaotic

Suggested Classes: Barbarian, bard, cleric, fighter, rogue, warlock

Suggested Cleric Domains: Death, Grave, Twilight

Suggested Backgrounds: Charlatan, criminal, entertainer, hermit, noble
