	In Oerth Journal #8, it's stated he uses alternate guises to appeal to bands of frog-kin beyond the known reach of his mainstream faith; to the [[bullywug]]s, he is Wug'gi; to the [[grung]], he is the female deity Rrabek, and he has likewise subverted some [[grippli]] tribes as the goddess Suujok.

	Reading edicts from a thick tome of malign nature, the physically mutated Wastri preached his now familiar dogma to the Brotherhood and finished by proclaiming himself the savior and guide of the not only the Suel, but of the whole human race. He then called upon the Father of Obedience to step down as head of the Brotherhood and for all human citizens of Rro Terlep to join him or perish. The Father of Obedience realized the threat to the Brotherhood that Wastri presented and he acted quickly. Proclaiming Wastri a traitor and heretic, he sentenced him, and any who would join him, to death. A clash between the Brotherhood and the forces of Wastri ensued, and pitched battle raged in Rro Terlep and the surrounding areas for nearly a month. In the end Wastri was forced off of the Tilvanot Highlands, and he and those followers who still lived descended into the depths of the Vast Swamp to establish the temple complex known as the Sacred Polystery, which was finished a few years later.

	Wastri is in the infancy of his immortal status, having ascended to full demipower status sometime in the early 570's C.Y. It is known that Wastri was one of the nine demipowers imprisoned beneath the Tower of Magic by another fellow demipower, Zagyg the Mad. Based upon what is known of this incident, it is speculated that when he was liberated through means unknown, only then did Wastri emerge as a true demipower. Before this, it is assumed that Wastri was only a powerful mortal, or at most a quasi-~~diety~~. After his release, Wastri fled back to the Vast Swamp to reorganize his followers and begin to plot revenge on Zagyg. Of course, the fact that the Mad Archmage was partially responsible for Wastri's new found power meant little to the Hammer of Demihumans; someone would pay for his outrageous imprisonment, and over the years the city that Zagyg built, the Free City of Greyhawk, has suffered in his stead.

	Wastri has been active in the few decades since his emergence from the ruins of [[Castle Greyhawk]]; He has expanded his "congregation" and is worshipped by the [[bullywug]]s as Wug'gi, a bizarre frog god, who encourages the bullywugs destructive behavior; Wastri also serves as the chief ~~diety~~ of the monotheistic [[grung]] in the form of Rrabek, who is portrayed as a large female grung, and Suujok among the [[grippli]], who is a small female frog-like ~~diety~~. Other ~~dieties~~ in the grippli pantheon include an evil snake god ([[Beltar]]) and spider goddess ([[Lolth]]). It is important to note that these humanoids do not associate Wastri, the human ~~diety~~, with their own ~~dieties~~; this would not sit well with the grippli and the bullywugs.

	Wastri has no real allies, but in the short span as a demipower he has made some powerful enemies. The heads of the [[demihuman]] pantheons all oppose Wastri, though collectively they do not consider him a serious threat to the survival of any of the demihuman races in the Flanaess; Wastri simply possesses neither the power or resources to enact his agenda of genocide on a large scale. Among the human powers, [[Trithereon]] is the most active in opposing the doings and tenets of the Hopping Prophet and encourages his clergy to actively remove the presence of the clergy of Wastri through either coercion or force. Anyone remotely associated with [[Zagyg]] is subject to death, including all the residents of the Free City of Greyhawk. It is unknown whether Zagyg reciprocates this antipathy, but sentiment among religious scholars holds that it is unlikely. Lastly, Wastri has a growing mutual antipathy with [[Beltar]] and especially [[Lolth]]. Wastri has no love of demihumans, including those of the Underdark, and has no respect for Lolth. The differences with Beltar may stem from the Suel pantheons division over Law and Chaos, and relations between the two are also not helped by the fact that both powers take affronts to themselves and their followers very personally.

	The Hopping Prophet keeps many toad-like retainers, like Grung and Bullywugs. Despite their evil nature Wastri's faith is an orderly one wherein the rights and duties of the faithful are exacted by the clerics. Humans his followers captured are warped into demi-toads, if this procedure fails they are [[Grimdark\|impladed on stakes outside of Wastri's territory.]] His followers practice a fighting style that involves leaping into battle armed with glaives coated in the most horrible poisons. Wastri himself wields the Skewer of the Impure, a glaive-guisarme. The big man himself is not very inclined to take to battle himself: instead he hangs back with his high priest, high-ranking clerics and a pair of bigass toads. That is not to say Wastri cannot kick ass: his levels are [[Cleric]] 15/[[Monk]] 8/[[Assassin]] 7, so if push comes to shove he will fuck you up.
