Brotherhood of Seth
Tark is the Avathar Winged Messenger in its dark aspect as a bearer of false messages. While he is called the "Lord of Flies", that likely refers to his ability to trap men in webs of intrigue and deceit. It is said that Tark was the god who tricked the guardian Dragons into releasing the Kaeden from their imprisonment.
Tark rarely assumes his favorite forms, a Draconic or man-like spider (Dragonspider or Drider), usually appearing in disguise. However, he is also able to appear as a tall, slim, joyous man, as he is adept at using deception, manipulation and even propaganda to achieve his goals. He is also revered by assassins, and when possible He wields a deadly black bow that shoots poisoned arrows.
It is possible that Tark is one of the dread gods of the Deep Old Ones, known by the name Nyarlathotep.
This religious order of assassins worship a fictitious god called Seth in order to misdirect witch hunters, but actually worship Tark. Their agents fight via insurrection and assassination, spreading tendrils into governments and guilds in which they form complex webs of intrigue to snare their opponents. Little is known about their internal organization, as no member has ever left the Brotherhood of Seth and survived. Most members are believed to be assassins trained to brew poisons and wield the dark arts.
