Jan 28, 2010 22:11:39 In the Underdark, it has been Lolth who was top dog. Now we have this Torog running around the underdark. I saw the new 4th addition underdark book and did not see much about lolth. So what is the relationship of these two?

Jan 29, 2010 16:34:42 I haven't checked out the new Underdark book yet BUT I DID Google "Torog" for you and it appears there isn't a lot on the subject. Sounds like this is a new creation. He is the god of "creepy crawlies" it seems.

I would like to think that Lolth would kick Torog's arse. But that all depends on how important the drow are in your campaign.

Incidently, "torog" is also a Tolkien term. It was the elvish word for "troll."

Jan 29, 2010 19:44:55 Torog, The King That Crawls, is big on torture and other kinds of meanness like that. He crawls because his legs were smashed to a pulp. He claims to have been the one who invited Lolth and her followers to reside in the Underdark, where he got imprisoned as a result of his fight with a Primordial back during the Dawn War. Of course, Lolth tells a different story. Allegedly, the Underdark's labyrinthine tunnels were created when Torog was desperately trying to smash his way out. There was a curse on him, however, that made this plan fail. There's a picture of Torog in the gallery for the book, but it looks like some sick, psychotic pin-up pose the way they positioned his mangled leg kicked up playfully behind him.

Thank the gods they didn't do a "money shot"...

;)
