Evil pantheon

The evil pantheon contains the gods of corruption. The cause fire between the gods have led to a sustainable peace but there is very little love lost between them and the other pantheons. Though some consider them collectively the strongest pantheon it has been many millennia since there has been one strong enough to unite them under one banner.

Tharizdun, The Dark Lord [formerly]

Tharizdun is well known as the god of nihilism, madness, destruction, darkness, oathbreakers, fatalism, determinism, atrophy, and corruption. The self-proclaimed Dark Lord led his pantheon against creation in a crusade to resurrect the great old ones but was halted by a betrayal within his ranks. While he is imprisoned, a fierce blood war is being fought to determine who shall be named the next Dark Lord. According to the prophecy of Ragnarok, the dark lord's son would herald the end times, and since Tharizdun has no known surviving sons, everyone is waiting with bated breath for the next dark lord to arise.

Shar, The Shadow Princess

Shar is the goddess of shadow, secrets, concealment, forgetfulness, nightmares, betrayal, seduction, loss, concealed hatred, and dark desires.

As it currently stands, she is the only remaining heir to Tharizdun's legacy. However, she lacks the influence to galvanize the dark pantheon under her and flits from alliance to alliance with the planes watching for her, fearing where she will cast her support.

Iuz, The Shackled

Iuz is the god of stealing, murder, deceit, pain, and oppression. At the end of the dawn war, his seat was initially meant to go to his father, the demon prince Graz'zt, but when he turned down the offer, Iuz was offered the position. Rumors abound as to why he did it with the most prominent being that he is still under the thumb of his father. He is confined to Tartarus as a petty tyrant who has made an unstable alliance with Grumsh against Bane and Zehir. 

Lawful Impure

Bane, The Strife King

Bane is the god of conquest, strategic war, dark paladins, industry, and despotism. Before joining the dark lord's ranks, he was previously a god of justice. He is at odds with Erathus for influencing the first goblin king, Maglubiyet, to his side, and he has been fiercely rivaled with Grumsh from their time under the dark lord. Though his followers deny it, it is believed that without his alliance with Zehir, he would be out of the race for the black iron throne.

Grumsh is the god of rage, savagery, destruction, famine, sadism, orcs, ogres, primal giants, lycanthropes, and disease. He attained his divinity after slaying his predecessor, Talos. Then, when Tharizdun began raising his legions, Grumsh was among the first to join. He has an unfathomable hatred for the world that he believes spurned him. From Corellion Lethon, who took his right eye to Erathus who imprisoned him for breaking his oath to Talos. Even the dark pantheon he doesn't particularly like. He merely tolerates them for allowing him to live as he pleases. Even then, he still wants to kill a great many of them and only really considers Iuz to be a friend.
