Dretha
The Dark Mother
Pantheon
Dretha, the Dark Mother, was the orc goddess of fertility, birth, and death. She presided over orc domestic life and watched over female orcs carrying, birthing, and rearing children, as she believed in strength in numbers and strong warriors. She blessed those who fought to protect their family, lands, or possessions from enemies. Dretha was subservient to the other gods of the orc pantheon due to her gender, and was generally depicted as very sullen and filled with hidden rage.
Dretha vanished during the War of Immortals. As of 4724 AR, it was not known whether she was killed in the Crucible, and if so by whom. She still grants a small portion of her divine magic to her priests, particularly in the creation of protective charms for expectant mothers.

Chaotic EvilA chaotic evil character is driven entirely by her own anger and needs. She is thoughtless in her actions and acts on whims, regardless of the suffering it causes others.
In many ways, a chaotic evil character is pinned down by her inherent nature to be unpredictable. She is like a spreading fire, a coming storm, an untested sword blade. An extreme chaotic evil character tends to find similarly minded individuals to be with—not out of any need for company, but because there is a familiarity in this chaos, and she relishes the opportunity to be true to her nature with others who share that delight. - Areas of Concern

Chaotic NeutralA chaotic neutral character values his own freedom and ability to make choices. He avoids authority and does not fear standing out or appearing different. In extreme cases, he may embrace a lifestyle entirely suited to himself— living in a cave near a city, becoming an artist, or otherwise challenging traditions. He never accepts anything at face value and makes up his own mind rather than blindly accepting what others tell him to do or think., NENeutral EvilMotivated by his own needs and wants, a neutral evil character is without conscience, acting only for self-gratification. He might surround himself with the trappings of cults and evil, but does so purely because it brings him closer to sin and wickedness. While a lawful evil person is inclined to bargain and a chaotic evil one to lash out, a neutral evil person is inclined only to look out for himself. In many ways, he epitomizes evil, since he has no clear loyalty to anything except absolute self-interest., CE
