OK, but isn't this Gouger supposed to obey an earth goddess? what happened to her? And if Aram-ya-Udram is dead, who controls the demon nowadays?

Even if the fact that ramalian don't ride pig could be explained by some kind of religious schism, I admit that all this is geographically very non-coherent... but still, I re-read last evening something about ramalian worshipping a human version of Zorak Zoran. And both ZZ and the dark demon offer the spell "Seal Wounds" (I'm not sure of my re-translation from french to english) to their worshipper. So I thought there may be a connection.
But obviously, what is known about Aram-ya-Udram doesn't fit all this.
