Description
Zograthil is an undead ancient god, brought back by the power of Orcus, the Demon King of Undeath. Those who look upon it, see either their untimely demise, and fall, or see his ultimate power, and kneel. For millennia, they have decayed in the Abyss, Orcus found its corpse and set to making the god his servant. Using ancient curses, and foul magics, he brought the long rotting god to life once again, subduing it with chains of pure Weave. It remains, a secret, absolute weapon against Orcus' foes.
