This incorporeal spirit haunts the
chambers beneath the Black Sand camp, still paying
homage to dark gods that no longer exist on Athas.
The raaig has allowed the defiler Fevil to form an
uneasy alliance with it, thus providing the creature with a
pawn in the living world. It grants the defiler some hints
of the magic of the ancients, but only enough to keep him
interested. Someday Er'Thork hopes to steal the defiler's
body, though it knows that the evil wizard has plans of
his own.
Er'Thork can be damaged only by weapons forged from
iron. In addition, the raaig can use death gaze at will
against its opponents to drain their intellect and is able
to control lesser undead.
Er'Thork is an ancient undead creature
known as a raaig.
