Gods of Ithia: Doi Rok the Lord of Idle Hands.

Doi Rok. God of Drowning, Inertia, Sloth, Binding, Imprisonment, and Slavery. 

Known across the plane as Doi Rok, The Drowning Soul, The Slothful One, The Inert, The Dead Moon, The Lord of Idle Hands, The Deep Sleep, The Eclipse of the Mind, and The Eternal Rest. 

His Symbol is The Drowning – Pale hands pulling the vague image of a face beneath black water. 

Doi Rok is a pale humanoid body running up to the waist on one side and the shoulder on the other, from shoulder to waist dozens of pale hands flail, grasp, and reach out to drag down the world around him. A black sphere like a solar eclipse levitates just above the grasping hands and serves as Doi Rok’s head. 

Doi Rok is all the emptiness in your soul, the overwhelming sensation that you’re falling behind, drowning in responsibility, and that everything is too much. He is the horrors of war, the trauma of life, vicious abuse that drags you down beneath the surface and makes you feel isolated and alone from the rest of the world. Doi Rok is slothful and inert rarely leaving his crumbling throne unless thoroughly roused. He is the denier of freedom and the binder of chains. Doi Rok does not grant divine gifts.
