[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 9867336, member: 6787503"] He is falsehood (Old Persian [I]drauga[/I]), "the Lie" of which Darius the Great speaks in the Behistun Inscription. In [I]Asiatic Mythology [/I](Hackin, J. et al.)[I], [/I]one of the sources sited in "Appendix 4" of [I]Deities and Demigods, [/I]author Clément Huart calls him (it?) the "principle [I]druj" [/I]which he seems to place below the [I]div [/I]in the hierarchy of "the army of evil" under Angra Mainyu, so I think the ranking of lesser god is appropriate. Jim Ward and/or Rob Kuntz seem to have transposed the first two vowels of his name, perhaps on purpose to differentiate it from that of the drow, and they put him in the wrong mythos. Maybe they were working on a section for the Persian mythos and decided to scrap it but wanted to keep Druaga, so they included him in the Babylonian mythos instead.
