Appearance
Deskari appears as a horrible beast, human from the waist up, and locust-like below. Semi-solid wings—composed of clouds of locusts—protrude from his human back, and he carries the terrible scythe Riftcarver in his fleshy hands.[3]
History
Deskari is said to be son of Pazuzu;[2] he was born when Pazuzu breathed his first breath on the Material Plane.[3] Historically, his cult was active in the barbarian nation of Sarkoris until he and his followers were driven into the Lake of Mists and Veils by—then mortal—Aroden in one of his many miraculous deeds. Aroden's death and the coming of the Age of Lost Omens has allowed Deskari's to reassert his influence in the region again in the much more obvious form of the Worldwound.[4][5][2]
Cult & Worshippers
As mentioned above Deskari's cult is most powerful in the lands that once made up the realm of Sarkoris, this region however is now the demonic wasteland of the Worldwound and as such no longer harbours many of Deskari's mortal worshippers. Instead his cult seems to have spread into other northern nations infecting the nearby lands of Mendev, Numeria and Brevoy.[3][6]
