Zad’Aka (Akh’Barad God)

Zad’Aka is depicted as a seven-foot-tall man with a scorpion tail and the ability to turn his hands into scorpion pincers at will. He rides a giant scorpion that’s the size of an elephant and can conjure an army of scorpions the size of hounds at will. He has a lavish palace that appears to have no fixed location and can sometimes be found in the middle of the sandy deserts, at the top of mountain peaks, beneath the ocean, or in Semefet’s realm in the Underdark. He famously slew Dag’Dishe in combat, and it was only Tabesh’s guile that allowed her son to come back to life, along with his unexpected triplet siblings. Zad’Aka is wed to Ej’Antlahan, the Adder Queen. He is a patron of combat, particularly of bandits, ruffians, and mercenaries, and his worship is largely confined to underground cults and secretive sects.
