When the King Comes Knocking

A game of dark adventure, using Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition.

The Quest

Torog is the God of Torture. A being of infinite spite and potent malice, he is the only deity left who can still place his own hand on the substance of the world. He is also trapped there, a seed of vileness encysted deep under the earth. He is both the prisoner and the architect of the Underdark. He has destroyed entire cities. He has tortured whole populaces to death. There is nothing left in him of mercy or goodness.

Yet, there are those few mad enough to challenge him...

The Pilgrimage

Many of those who seek after Torog are damaged in heart, body, or mind. Nonetheless, they have no hope of survival but what they can gain from each other. Apart, they would be devoured by the nightmares of the Underdark or crushed by their own personal flaws. Together, they form a spearpoint directed at the heart of a God.

Secrets and Lost Things

The Underdark is a place of dank and ruin, a pitch-black infection running through the veins and arteries of the earth. Pits yawn unexpectedly, tunnels turn around on themselves and lead to dead ends or rushing, freezing waters. What life there is down there is desperately predatory, extremely dangerous, and often has its origins in the anarchic realms outside the arch of time and space.

Nobody goes there unless they are driven.
