Truth

"Just because I was set on bringing down a party today."

- Truth

Truth (真実) is a God in the Goblin Slayer universe, who is usually paired with the goddess Illusion in rolling dice to influence the lives of various adventurers of the Four-Cornered World, preferring to make life harder for all of them.

Appearance
Truth, like the rest of the "Greater Gods" appearance has never been described in detail outside confirmation he is a male.

Personality
Truth is a somewhat sadistic individual who takes pleasure in creating misery for adventurers Illusion influences. He usually does so by making the adventures Illusion creates much harder than intended; such as whispering thoughts of betrayal into adventurers' ears or by adding additional monsters and traps. As such, he displays interest in Goblin Slayer's ability to defy the gods' dice rolls, but also finds it irritating.

Background
Truth is usually the one behind any unexpected increases in difficulty for an adventure or more powerful monsters suddenly appearing in places they shouldn't be, such as the Giant Eye appearing in Water Town's sewers. This ties into his mild sadism and desire for spectacle when watching the fates of adventurers unfold.

While playing a game representing the lives of adventurers with his fellow gods, Truth noticed that a new adventurer came to the board much to his disgust.

Goblin Slayer Volume 6
A party of five novice rank adventurers took a quest to clear any monsters near where the training area was to be constructed. In some ruins, they had no trouble killing some inhabiting goblins, but to their surprise, came face to face with a troll. With the adventurers surrounded by both the troll and the goblins, it did not take long for them to perish. In the high heaven, the god Truth smiled, satisfied that his machinations had destroyed a party.

Goblin Slayer Volume 12
When Illusion worked with fellow Greater Gods Life and Death to create a new campaign, Truth tried to muscle his way in with Abundance but this time he was shot down from interfering by Life and Death who defended Illusion's campaign from his sadism.

Abilities
As a god Truth is able to affect the fates of mortals to a degree.
