Dhuum

Dhuum is the cruel and unjust god who once ruled the Underworld as the god of death. During his reign, his tower and throne were situated in the region now known as the Chaos Planes. Dhuum tolerated neither resurrections nor the existence of the undead, and he hunted down all those who cheated death, having promised "death undeniable." Eventually, Grenth overthrew Dhuum and took the mantle as the new god of death. Grenth, however, could not slay Dhuum, and so imprisoned him instead within the Hall of Judgment, behind enchanted doors and layers of divine magic.

Though asleep, Dhuum's dark power increases every time a creature in the Underworld dies, strengthening him so he may eventually free himself.

Players encounter many followers of Dhuum, such as the Terrorweb Dryders, Tortureweb Dryders, Riders of Dhuum, Skeletons of Dhuum and the Emissaries of Dhuum. Despite the dormancy of their master, these entities are active, aiding Abaddon together with the followers of Menzies.

Dhuum himself is fought in the Underworld, inside the Hall of Judgment, after a player has completed all the Underworld quests. If successful, the characters force Dhuum back into holding &mdash; at least until the god regains his strength.
