Little-known Dwarf God of evil, shadowbrother of Kord
-
Drok is the shadowbrother, the dark reflection of Kord in the souls of the dwarven people. Where Abbathor is a power of random destruction, Drok is a calculated, manipulative evil. The Church of Kord was aware of the existence of the dark counterpart, but tended not to allow such knowledge to filter below Cardinal level.
Drok has few worshipers, and it is believed that he leaches divine power from Kord himself. Others have speculated that he is actually an aspect of Kord, reflecting the more destructive side of himself that the dwarvish war god prefers to keep hidden. Few people are brave enough to discuss this theory with dwarves however.
Only a very few people know that Drok was actually born a mortal dwarf, Noroth, eldest son of Niotanv the First Disciple. His followers, particularly the Hand of Drok, have access to the otherwise lost magic of the Dreamweavers, now corrupted and polluted by the evil of Drok into a twisted sorcery of nightmares.
