Paalugh

=== History ===
Paalugh the Swine-Headed is an ancient Cralin god turned into a modern Demon Lord.
Thousands of years ago, while the roots of modern civilization were being cultivated in Hadara and Sapoth, the people of southern Trynser had their own distinct culture known as the Cralin. The Cralin were a simple people, working with clay and daub and wattle, and copper and tin. Little remains of their oldest culture today, besides stone altars and monuments, and the occasional ancient treasure.
2500 years, the Vennin swept down from the north and crushed the Cralin culture and assimilated their people with iron weapons and powerful sorcery. The people were forced to abandon their old ways and gods and follow those of the Vennin. 
Some traditions did not die so easy.
For years, the descendants of the Cralin continued to honor their god of fire and change, the boar-headed Palun. Vennin persecution was effective in driving Palun worship underground. As the mainstream of the conquered Cralin population abandoned his worship, the core of Palun worship became more fanatical and insular. Worship was held farther and farther away from civilization, in the dead of night around large fires.
The fanatics of Palun considered one of their old god's driving purposes to be the overthrow of the Vennin, and they occasionally acted to bring this about. This never happened, and the Vennin and Cralin were assimilated into the modern Trynsern people. The memory of Palun persisted as Paalugh, the swine-headed. Misguided cultists who claim Cralin heritage continue to worship him in secret to this day.
