Who is Torog?

[demonsquidgod]

Is this evil god based on something from a previous edition? Is there any more information to be found on him? All the other gods have gobs and gobs of flavour to be found in previous editions. Servants, cults, what they look like. But I have no idea bout Torog here.

What sort of thing worships him? What do his cults do? What does he look like? What are his goals? What kind of niche does he fill in the story?

Beyond the 4e DMG and a couple of ancillary references in the other supplements, there is not much information on the King that Crawls.

Agreed. I'd like to know if there is anything previous- as the name is not fam to me, however...

Maybe these are questions to ask yourself, not us? (thats the stance I took with myself a couple of months back when I was going to post a similar thread)

From Thunderspire Labyrint, Torog is the demon lord of Baphomet and he was worshiped by minotaurs.

Nope, in that module, Torog was competing with Baphomet for the worship of a group of minotaurs. Torog is a god, not a demon lord; he's the god of the Underdark, jailers, and torturers.

So, what is the Thematic link between jailers, torturers, and the Underdark?

It's generally pretty dark and damp down where they are found?

Darkness, entrapment, isolation, pain. The oubliette. Dungeons, in the proper sense, rather than the common D&D meaning. Being god of the underdark sounds kinda silly to me, though - "I am the patron lord of a particular set of interconnected cavern systems!" uh... ok, Torog, whatever you say...

I wish I could give XP just for the Torgo reference =/
