Rovagug

Description
The Rough Beast's avatar (pronounced ROH-vah-gug) appears as a monstrous, worm-like being, with innumerable limbs, eyes, claws, teeth, and other, more unmentionable parts. Although it is unknown exactly what Rovagug is or where he originated from, several theories have long been debated by scholars and theologians.

Edicts
Destroy all things, free Rovagug from his prison.

Anathema
Create something new, let material ties restrain you, torture a victim or otherwise delay its destruction.

Relationships
While Rovagug hates most deities equally, his rage is primarily directed at Sarenrae. She was instrumental in keeping him subdued long enough so that Asmodeus could contain him. They had already been at war against one another numerous times when Rovagug was imprisoned, and it is said that Sarenrae placed the fire of the sun at the heart of Renascentia to eternally burn the Rough Beast in his prison. All other deities hate the Devourer as well, and even feuding gods join together to oppose his release.

Temples
Churches to The Beast are banned in nearly every civilized city, and his worship is suppressed in most nations. Secret shrines and sacrificial sites may be recognized by the presence of the famous Fanged Maw, or the less common symbol, a claw surrounded by a spiral. The rare, true temples of Rovagug are built in caves and other underground locations, with a deep pit in the center (representing Rovagug's prison) that doubles as a midden. These temples also feature a "tame" monster, barely controlled by the priests, which serves as a guardian.
