Type
Daemon

Domains: Shadow, lightless cunning, ambush-patience.

Era of ascension: Great Expansion (~2,900 BSD). Cohort: current. Lethring's pool grew quickly in the centuries the Darkling tribes adapted away from the upper trails of Lethos, settling into the cave-line and the under-canopy where every meal was the result of waiting longer than the prey.

Worshipped by: The Darkling goblins. No Darkling raid leaves without a knife passed three times through the smoke of an offering fire; the smoke is the daemon's sign that the dark has agreed to be on the raider's side tonight. (The worships edge is authored downstream on the worshipper, not here.)

Lorus is the dark of empty rooms and lost children. Lethring is the dark of the room you are about to walk into. The Darkling do not pray to him before sleep — they pray before crossing a threshold they have been watching for an hour. He is hunger and timing. He has no temple because a temple is something the prey can see.
