Asoroth

Asoroth was one of the original Golden. When the Golden defied the Risen Asoroth was amongst

 those that believed rebellion was the right choice. He proved to be one of the strongest leaders the Golden had in their rebellion. Though his strength in battle was yet to be proven, his ability to manipulate and influence was incomparable amongst the gods. When the divine law was created and the rebellion was crushed, Asoroth did not consider the war to be over. In a foolish attempt at retribution Asoroth rallied many of the gods whom followed him in the rebellion. Together they pierced the veil between the Golden plane and the first plane where the Risen inhabit. The great tearing that occurred killed all but the devious Asoroth who used the power of his brethren to survive while they perished. At the last moment at the intervention of several of the Risen, Asoroth was stopped and banished to the bastion plane, but this did not occur before the taint of Asoroth was allowed to touch the first plane. The first plane created by the Risen until now had been left untouched in the truest form of perfection and goodness. The very essence and corruption of Asoroth itself was enough to, once unleashed upon the first plane, caused a rift of unimaginable size to begin. In an attempt to save the first plane the Risen stood before the rift together. The only way that the Risen could think to save the first plane was to send this rift somewhere else. In their final act of creation the Risen created what has been known amongst mortals as the final plane. It is sometimes referred to amongst the gods as the Niraya Plane. This plane exists opposite of the first plane. It contains the truest of all evils in existence. In the same way the power of the creator and the universe manifested itself in the Risen, the power of the last plane and the true evil manifested itself in the form of the Esura - great beings of evil incarnate. Their number is unknown, but it is said upon the higher planes that those manifestations of evil now spend eternity in a constant war with one another for control of the last plane. Should one of these manifestations some how actually defeat the others then the danger it would pose is inconceivable. For now the plane is locked in a constant war that has ended in stalemate for as long as the plane has existed. The only thing that the manifestations of evil share in common is a reverence for their god Asoroth.

As punishment Asoroth was one of the first to be banished to the bastion plane and because of this is known to many mortals; he is many times refered to as Asoroth the Corrupter for the taint he causes in those that worship him.
