This is the drow god of lies, deception & betrayal. He dwells in the caverns of Pandemonium and his palace is moved every once in a while and is cloaked from detection and location so that no one he doesn't want will find it. He schemes a lot and has many plots both in motion and waiting so that he always has a surprise up is sleeve and his a very unpredictable and undependable god (even to his priests).

Role-playing information: He is very involved in the drow life, hatching many plots and creating mayhem whenever possible. He sends omens to his priests but they can be interpreted in 2 ways or they can be outright false, for his own amusement. Beware of dealings with this god since he will use every thing he can to change the bargain or he will simply dismiss the bargain as non-committing.

Statistics: AL ne; WAL any e (drow); AoC deception, lies, betrayal; SY distorted mask.

Ergosal's avatar (Thief 15, Illusionist 13)

Ergosal's avatar appears as a noble drow male, clad in rich looking clothes, beneath which he has a drow chain mail. His avatar usually carries spells from illusion, enchantment, alteration and abjuration, but when angry will carry spells intended for destruction.

Special att/def: He wears a drow made chain mail +5, cloak and boots of the drow and wields a drow made long sword and dagger, both with a +5 enchantment. He has the following abilities at well: Displacement, Undetectable lie, Non detection, and Shape change. Furthermore, any illusion spell cast by him is at -5 to disbelief and is always at least 10% real.
