Vorokar, Elder God of Darkness

Vorokar is the Elder God of Darkness and Evil. Vorokar is responsible for the creation of fiends, the introduction of corruption to Somara, and created Malumbris, the former home plane of the fiends that would eventually split, forming both the Hells and the Abyss.

Creation of Somara
During the First Era, Vorokar was initially a passive observer, waiting for an opportunity to place his stake in the affairs of the mortals. His opportunity came when Talus intervened to prevent Guul from destroying all of creation. Guul, incensed by the action, appealed to Vorokar. Vorokar began creating the various races of fiends as his servants, and with them, began corrupting creation, causing the mortals twisted by his touch to become barred from the gates of Paradise.

Sometime during the First Era, Mealyn appeared to Vorokar in the guise of one of his consorts, and tricked him into fathering a pair of twins for her (Ophane and Yorexa).

When Neket sealed the Elder Gods off from Somara, Vorokar was bound to the plane of New Malumbris, thought to be a more or less faithful recreation of his former home.

Appearance
Like the other Elder Gods, Vorokar is sealed off from Somara, though he frequently uses the Breach in the Seal to communicate with his minions. Those who witness Vorokar's form and remain sane report that he appears as a tall, well-built, androgynous, humanoid creature with pitch-black skin, and tall, grooved horns emerging from his forehead. His eyes are said to be deep, dark pits that draw in and snuff out light from the surrounding area. His size and figure are nearly impossible to make out, as he seems to be permanently wreathed in a cloak of writhing shadows.

No descriptions of Vorokar exist in a mortal form, as no accounts of his appearance exist from the First Era, and of the few mortals who appear to have glimpsed New Malumbris, none have seen Vorokar there in anything but his natural form.

Worship
In Somara, Vorokar is generally the most-worshiped of the Elder Gods, receiving tribute and praise from both fiends and some mortal cultists. Vorokar will freely grant power to those who commit acts of great evil on Somara, especially those who inflict undue pain and suffering upon the righteous. Most of Vorokar's cults generally act in similar fashions, believing that committing these acts will allow Vorokar's power and influence to grow, with the hope of someday allowing him to leave New Malumbris and re-enter Somara.

Guul uses the Breach in the Seal to grant power to his servants under the Pact of the Great Old One.
