Rh will be vanquished by Vohu Manah at the end of the present cycle.

The embodiment of wickedness. In his inscriptions, Darius concentrates all evil in Drauga or Lie, as the Gathas did in Druj. Druj is feminine in gender and, like other demons, is a spirit. This evil genius of Wickedness of the Gathic period preserves her original traits in the Yasna and Yasht literature, but it seems, if we judge rightly, that she gradually undergoes a transformation in the Vendidad.

King Vishtaspa, as a champion warring against all that is evil, drove away Druj from the world of Righteousness; and even Ahura Mazda himself acknowledges that had not the Fravashis helped him, Druj would have overpowered the entire world. In the same manner we can conceive why Mithra should be invoked by cattle that have been led astray to the den of Druj by the wicked. Druj is designated as of evil descent and darkness, and devilish by nature. Her abode is in the north.
