Zorak Zoran

God of Hate, God of War

  • Darkness pantheon
  • Troll pantheon

Titled Lord Demon of the Legions of Death, Zorak Zoran is the primary war god for trolls, and his worship is even found among humans. Zorak Zoran is the mindless explosion of fear and frenzy against both order and chaos which finds its only justification and satisfaction in unlimited violence. As much as the rest of the world might regret it, this entity is one which helped save the world and whose powers may be needed again. He, too, is part of the Cosmic Balance.
