Drochnath's Spawn

Drochnath's spirit is one of hopeless wanting, of endless imprisonment, and desperate longing. The once dormant earth spirit is being smothered by the weight and filth of Kavek's industrial district crushing its sanctum. Its spawn are fragments of its own form, sloughed off in its desperation to free itself.

Dreg

Dregs are the rotted, festering bits of Drochnath's form oozing their way to escape the toxic sludge seeping through the ground that has infected it. The Dreg is driven by a simple, violent impulse to absorb more organic matter into its form and to lash out at any living thing that enters its territory. It does not think or plan; it is an animated, toxic pustule of Drochnath that mindlessly seeks to perpetuate itself.

Dregs are found in the sewers, drainage canals, and refuse pits of Kavesk. Such filth-ridden places are more easily accessible to them, coalescing through grates and the cracks in mortar to feed on vermin, carrion, and any other creature that crosses their path.

Slough

A Slough is a manifestation of Drochnath's will to unmake the city of Kavesk. It is formed when the Tatarigami forces its own deleterious, semi-liquid body up through the earth, assimilating the rock, brick, and mortar of the city's foundations to create a dense, powerful body of animated sludge and rubble.

The Slough percolates through the under-foundations and subterranean levels of Kavesk's industrial district, trying to seep its way to the surface. Once it finds its way, it is indistinguishable from a pile of debris. It is drawn to the vibrations of the city above, emerging to gnaw at the city's bones and carry out Drochnath's rage.
