Not much is known about this deity. Doesn't sound good though, huh? Its principal temple is noted for two things. Firstly, it holds a giant ruby that has inspired thieves and Barbarian heroes for generations to go after. Secondly, however, it has the Terrible Man-Eating Sloth of Clup which guards said ruby. Even Crowdie the Strong wasn't up to the task. It is unknown if more well-known heroes have tried the same thing.
