Difference between revisions of "Taug"

'''Lord Taug''' is a [[Chaos Lords|Chaos Lord]] whose reign led to the downfall of the once-mighty [[troll]] city of [[Kasmarkin]]. Emperor [[Rakmarkha III]], known through history as the Mad Emperor of Kasmarkin, learned of the [[demon]] lord Taug through his dabblings in the [[occultism|occult]] and communications with the [[Unborn Goddess]] - later discovered to be [[Eris]].

Together, Rakmarkha and Taug planned to use Kasmarkin as a gathering point for the energies of [[chaos]]. Their plan failed when Senator [[Schlastan]] and other members of the Senate, as well as the commoner [[Alcibiades]], learned of Taug's true identity and used the knowledge to defeat him. Taug was imprisoned within a crystal by Schlastan. The Mad Emperor and his followers attempted to sacrifice themselves to free Taug but only succeeded in submerging Kasmarkin into the depths of the [[Mannaseh Swamp]] in which it was built.

No more was heard of Lord Taug until [[Shakti]] and Silverstorm raised Kasmarkin during the [[Modern Age]]. Taug's cage had been revealed. This opened up an opportunity for the [[Necromancy|Necromancer]] Xerimor to go forth much later and raise the demon lord and heed his request for revenge. In this, an army was summoned to raid the [[Chaos Plane]] and bring forth [[Danaeus]] to be imprisoned by the will of Taug. Justice for this act was swift, as [[Jy'Barrak Golgotha]] quickly enacted retribution by freeing Danaeus and putting Xerimor in the dark savant's place.

Though Lord Taug was unable to permanently escape his imprisonment through all this, is whispered that he made be freed to this day, were one to raise lost Kasmarkin from its watery grave.
