The Sovereign of Betrayal and Bloodshed, the Mockery represents dishonorable combat and unjust war. His worshipers include assassins , rogues , and evil warriors, as well as the infamous Flayed Hand . [5] [1]
He is known in some circles as the Betrayer and was once a member of the triumvirate of combat deities; his betrayal led to his flaying and banishment from the Sovereign Host . [1]
The brother of Dol Arrah and Dol Dorn , the Mockery is portrayed as a ghastly human warrior with the skin stripped from his body, cloaked instead in the skins of his enemies, and sometimes as a half-fiend red dragon . [5] [1]
Appendix
Background
It is speculated that the legendary half-fiend red dragon Dulazurak , who betrayed his sister the legendary red dragon Dularanahk during the war against the Overlords , is the inspiration for The Mockery, whose name was once Dol Azur, while his sister inspired Dol Arrah.
