The god Arioch usually takes his magical or fighting abilities into the Prime Material Plane. This god of Chaos is Elric's patron. He always disdains the use of armor in battle and fights with a sword that also acts as a rod of cancellation. This sword appears in any plane where the god takes on his fighting attribute. Those beings who know the proper rituals may attempt to summon Arioch from his home dimension. Would-be summoners who pledge themselves to aid him and offer him human sacrifices may request aid or advice from Arioch, and if it suits his mood and increases his power on the Prime Material Plane, he may grant their request.
Arioch is arrogant and short of temper. He expends a great deal of effort to appear incredibly handsome to whatever kind of creature he is dealing with.
