Thr'rack

The slow rot of corruption. The lies and deception of those in power. The acts of malice within the criminal underbelly of society. All are smiled upon by Thr'rack. Thr'rack is the Low God of liars, criminals, politicians and corruption. He is the malaise of bureaucratic evils, as well as the evils of criminals of all sorts. Dwelling primarily in the Nine Hells among the devils and demons, he watches the wretched of Aeris decay the good of the world.   Thr'rack is a formidible foe in combat, but is better suited to pulling the strings from behind, rather than on the front lines. Thr'rack fought and was defeated by Morai-Tomaar during the Clash of the Gods. Morai-Tomaar leaped upon Thr'rack and hammered him with divine blasts, sending him rocketting into the Lower Planes, weakening one of the Planar bonds that would be broken when Shl'ier and Odeus made their last ditch attacks at one another.
