Writing Worlds with Words

Gods of Ithia: Asphiatox the Black Death.

Asphiatox. Demi-God of Burns, Torture, Brooding, Schadenfreude, and Long Deaths. 

Known as Asphiatox, The Black Death, The Ruinous Dark, The Eyes in Dark Places, The Shadow Stalker, The Daybane, and The Shadow Lance. 

Asphiatox, fourth of the Drei’Lo’Chi, has scales of flat blue-black easily matching clear night skies. His eyes are like distant stars. He is the largest of the Drei’Lo’Chi and second in authority to only Mastavix. Asphiatox does not decorate himself in trinkets to stand out; he stands out in size, in dominance, in power. He refuses to take the lesser form of elves. 

The Black Death is vicious, brutish, and monstrous, reigning with physical force and kept in line solely by the machinations of Mastavix. While brutish, he can create simple but effective plans. He has a deep-seated hatred of mortals and is often seen as a henchman of The Dead Sun. The Black Death maintains fanatical cults of Black Elves, Humans twisted by his psionic will, and monstrous creatures he has turned into feral, mindless slaves.
