# [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Torog]]
Torog, or "The Crawling King", is [[The Betrayer Gods|a Betrayer God]] that was banished by the prime deities during the [[The Calamity]].

His symbol is three hands in a circle, sometimes in blood. This tattoo is familiar to me, and is one I've seen before. Another symbol that might be associated with him is a serpent. Some cultists from [[The Ninth Revelation]] have had serpent-like daggers.
His followers are dungeonkeepers and those who imprison others.
He is the dark god of endless tunnels.
## History
During [[The Calamity]], Torog tunnelled beneath [[The Pallid Grove|The Pallid Grove]] and sucked the life and color out of the trees there, forcing its residents to go underground. These residents became [[The Pallid Elves]].
[[Pelor]] and [[Raei]] lured Torog aboveground, Pelor pierced him with 10,000 lances of sunlight, and then [[Sehanine]] and [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Moradin|Moradin]] built a "King's Cage" that trapped Torog and banished him as a [[The Betrayer Gods|Betrayer God]]. It is said that Torog's tears carved pathways underground, and this his followers fled by using them.
Torog is said to have had a warhammer carved from a single piece of Obsidian. Is this [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Grovelthrash|Grovelthrash]]?
