A name spoken only in hushed whispers and dark corners. The Corruptor, the Jester of Souls, Lord of the Three Voids, these are some of the names Tharmax goes by. Any self-respecting Justicar of Agin would immediately arrest any civilian who mentioned the dread name, and even in Tragwin the dark name is a taboo.

Worship of Tharmax predates human recorded history, but the dwarves have ancient records of a god known as Thirm'x'l who joined the pantheon unexpectedly and unannounced. Dwarven scholars argue endlessly to this day about the true nature of this supposed deity, but all that can be discerned for certain is that Tharmax came during the dwarves' mythical K'brik vlar Ahm'nok Dien (Age of Eight Hammers).

Unlike more stereotypical views of evil gods and goddesses, Tharmax is known to have a considerable sense of humor - a dark, cruel sense of humor. Fortunately, worship of Tharmax is almost negligible among the civilized nations of Sil'rae'iisha, more of a dark footnote or a fairy tale... except that organizations such as the Justicars of Agin and the Xi'mili Asht'arum still take Tharmax very seriously. Tharmax's gender has never been established.
