Worg

The Scion of Undeath, Worg followed Thule and his fellow Scions into the Morning War but he avoided the great battles, delving below the earth in search of one of the realm-dragons. But each in turn drove him off and hounded him through caverns and tunnels. Worg had to burrow deep to escape his pursuers, and finally, in the dark below, he found safety. While the other Scions fled back into the Abyss, Worg was trapped underground, and in the dark he slowly went mad, devouring whatever he found and always tunneling deeper. He is associated with rot, the damp and the fetid darkness of caverns and graves. As the Ghoul God, he eats corpses and carrion, and in turn defiles tombs, stirring the occupants into restless undeath. These hungry corpses gather around Worg and join him in his feasts. The horrid goblins of Erebus revere Worg and join the Ghoul God and his minions in gnawing at the roots of the world. Worg urges his followers to honor the Chaos God and his four heads, for when the Beast comes, it will destroy Worg’s hated earth-prison and at last free him to sate his rage and hunger on all Creation. Indeed, Worg believes that for his many foul services to Chaos, he will be transfigured into the fifth and final head of the Beast, and his name will be Ahriman. 
Though he delights in gathering corpses about himself, he also hates and despises the filth and dank of the caves, and the hideous mutations of the goblins and other chaos-warped troglodytes that are drawn to the Ghoul God. Worg is often considered the mate of the Maggot Mother Hrashk, the ‘goddess’ worshiped by the insectoid dhurj. Hrashk is variously considered a child of Worg, spawned from the rot and decay that surrounds the Ghoul God, a child of Urabog, planted as a foul seed in the earth before the Sun-Eater fled, or Hrashk simply burrowed in from some other world, chewing her mindless way through Creation. Whatever the truth, Hrashk and Worg cooperate in their desires, and the underworld denizens often worship them as a pair, or as a trinity with Urabog, the Ancient Darkness. Uniquely among the Scions, Worg dwells within Erebus, though his realm, the Caverns of Madness, are twisted and unnatural, not truly connected to Vala, and filled with insane undead, mutants and deformed horrors barely imaginable. Those who wander into the Ghoul God’s warrens are fortunate if they can escape again, though even if they do, they are forever tainted by chaos. Worg is constantly fought against by the dragons, but like a festering sore, he continues to grow beneath the skin of the earth. He speaks to those angry and dispossessed whose minds dwell in dark places. From beneath grave dirt, in the gloom of moldering tombs, echoing out of murky caves, comes the Ghoul God’s voice, whispering and seductive, urging his followers to eat the world before it is finally consumed by Chaos forever. Worg sends forth his shape-shifting ghouls to further his designs, bringing rot and corruption to the surface.
