Sod Daerlethoth

Sod Daerlethoth is a great old one and is the demon prince of envy. They were worshipped for a time as a god by a Vazriel tribe before the War of Sword and Serpent, but left the Material Plane to usurp the throne of envy. 
==Description==
Sod Daerlethoth's form shifts at their pleasure, but is always a pile of wet tentacles that writhe about around a lamprey-like mouth. Their eyes, which they can have all about their form, are always bright red. Somewhere on their skin is the twisted face of an old man, a remnant of the Vieillard. About their form are bangles and bands made of bronze and with them they carry a broken chronomancer's staff of power which they use as a cudgel.
===Worshippers===
The worshippers of Sod Daerlethoth in modernity are known as Yearners. They seek power that the prince has or is presumed to have and wish to have for themselves. Cults can form as a religious affair, where Yearners seek to follow a charismatic leader who gives guidance on how life is to be lived in service of the prince, or as an eldritch cult of knowledge seekers who wish to pull back the veil of the Material and offer themselves up as tribute to Sod Daerlethoth.
====Sod Daerlethoth's Pact====
The Pact of the Envious is a rare pact as Sod Daerlethoth will only grant their own power to a mortal when their goals are directly in line with the path of the mortal requesting the power. Many will worship Sod Daerlethoth without any gifts, but great is the person who has taken on their power. 
==History==
===Creation===
The twisting and terrifying nature of the Far Realm has created horrors unimagined since far before the Warring Triumvirate crafted the world of Urz. As this gorgeous new world was made and peoples began to populate it, a longing pair of eyes looked on from the Void Beyond the Stars with envy in its heart. This creature would come to be known as Daerlethoth, a great aberration that was drawn to the world of Urz like a moth to a flame.
=== The Daerlethothi ===
Upon their arrival, Daerlethoth was met with fear and violence by mortals. By sheer will, Daerlethoth compelled many to begin to worship him as a god.

===Coup in the Gates===
The High Senator of Marydia during this time was a demilich named Tak. Everyone in Marydia hated this interloper that seized power some decades ago, but no one was willing to stand in opposition to him due to his vast knowledge of the arcane. Dhuron Balcard, along with Grum'nar, Tefington, and Maerleth, began to use the resources they were accumulating in the cities and towns of the nation of Ikashad to empower themselves and bolster them for the plan to come. With the aid and advisement of the demon prince of deception, Dhuron and his company were able to storm Ashtar's Gates of Corruption, Wrath, Vanity, and Envy and usurp the demon princes to acquire their Thrones of Sin. Maerleth was originally promised but was then not granted Sod Daerlethoth's seat, the throne of envy. Instead, Dhuron had tricked Maerleth into a losing fight with the Prince of Envy, leading to Maerleth being consumed and seen as a gift given by Dhuron on behalf of Vyz to Sod Daerlethoth. The gift was a remnant of the Vieillard, the chronomancer's magical scarf. The Coup in the Gates is seen as a strange event in history, as many times Demon Princes have fallen from their place of rulership and had their seats taken, even by mortals, but never had so many Thrones changed hands in such a short span of time.
