Ashtok

Ashtok is the name of an unknown Phyrexian demon mentioned in the Shattered Chains novel.
==Trivia==
Ashtok's main claim to fame is that his name keeps appearing on lists of planes across the Internet. This came from peoples' interpretation of the following passage:
* "Phyrexia is a plane so distant most wizards don't know it exists, let alone visit there. Many thought it destroyed in the Brother's War. A plane of demons, like Ashtok and others. Yet Phyrexia's demons serve a purpose, a geas leftover from the war."
This could be interpreted as 
* "Phyrexia is A plane of demons, like [the plane] Ashtok and the others. Yet Phyrexia's demons [unlike Ashtokian ones] serve a purpose, a geas leftover from the war."
as
* "Phyrexia is A plane of demons, like [the Phyrexian demon] Ashtok and the others. Yet Phyrexia's demons [unlike non-Phyrexian ones] serve a purpose, a geas leftover from the war."
or as
* "Phyrexia is A plane of demons, like [the non-Phyrexian demon] Ashtok and the others. Yet Phyrexia's demons [unlike Ashtok] serve a purpose, a geas leftover from the war."
Following the first interpretation it was put on various people's lists of planes. However, the author of Shattered Chains, Clayton Emery, revealed in an e-mail (from May 25, 2006) that the second interpretation is true and that Ashtok is the name of a further unmentioned demon.
