Divine Rank. Lesser Deity
For every act of order, there is ensuing chaos. Every plan starts as a thought. Every cause has an effect. Terrazitch is a being that embodies the ever changing nature of the universe, formless yet planned, death and rebirth. He is not so much the god of chaos, but an embodiment of its many forms. Know as the God of Thousand Names and Thousand Plans, he is an ever plotting and maleficent deity, who resides in the Far Realm, and wishes to see the universe devolve into what he believes to be the its true state of utter chaos and constant change. He uses his guile and power to influence creatures to enact schemes of chaos.
One of the more active deities, he has been found in texts and stories from the beginnings of civilization. He takes on many forms and names to trick those he meets into helping him complete his goals. He has been described in a multitude of ways, sometimes as a friendly fey-like creature, sometimes as a member of the witnesses family. To those that can see through his disguises, he is a swirling mass of eyes and faces with long black tendrils growing and reforming. His face is human, but gaunt and angular with a mouth filled with thousands of crooked fangs, and twisted in an elongated smile. He is always seen with the colors of green, silver and black.
His worshipers are diverse, as the God of Change accepts any to his cause, drawing them in with promises of power and freedom. Slaads and Hags are the most common, yet many humanoids fall to him. Those wishing to cause change or revolution might find a cloaked stranger offering them aid and power in their struggle, realizing too late that the change they hoped for is twisted into spiraling chaos of mind, flesh and soul. The most devote to Terrazitch receive his blessings, horrid mutants and disfigurations that grant them magical powers and unnatural strength. Because of his craving for disorder and madness many deities oppose him, actively try to stop his schemes.
Seen with his followers is a book, named the Book of Madness. It is bound in the skin of many different races, and its front is covered in all kinds of eyes that watch anyone who dares approach it. Written inside is ever changing text of untold knowledge. Many who have read this book have had their minds burned and souls flayed, spiraling into madness as they tried to understand the writings.
