Eons ago, Pandora took the [[Caduceus of Castigation]], a precious artefact belonging to [[Sarapis]], while the Logos was away. She then proceeded to wreak havoc across the lands, turning various of the mortals She found amusingly frail into maggots, cripples, and mutes. Her overuse of the artefact caused it to fuse to Her hand, making it necessary for Sarapis to amputate it from Her wrist upon His return. Both angered and amused by Pandora's escapades, Sarapis branded Pandora with the title "Goddess of Mischief" so that mortals would know their peril when She was near. Those who follow this fun-loving Goddess worship Her at the Temple of Pandora.


In the year 811 AF, adventurers gathered for a party, which unbeknownst to them turned out to be a coming of age party for the Goddess Pandora. During the party Aegis asked Pandora to take Her rightful place at his side and she refused. After rejecting Her Father's offer and rebuking what was expected of Her, She took on the mantle of The Wayward Heir and expanded her realm to rebellion against the status quo.

Babel, God of Oblivion claims dominion over the realm of Chaos. He teaches that, since the Unnamable broke into Creation, existence itself has spiralled inevitably towards a perfect singularity, where all are one with the primal void. The acceptance of this destined end is accompanied by a refusal to be bound by external morals. Freedom of thought and action are paramount to Him, for why place importance in such ephemeral and impermanent ideals?

History

The first act of Lord Sarapis at the outset of the Chaos Wars was to create Lord Babel, Patron of those who seek Chaos. Caught for aeons in the mysteries of Chaos and Creation, little was heard of Babel on the Prime Material Plane save for terrible whispers caught by the Revolutionaries of Chaos. A small cult headed by visionary Flair Ze'Dekiah, the Revolutionaries zealously sought the return of the ancient god. In the 475th year following the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, the cult succeeded. Rumblings of Chaos disturbed the realms as an enormous seal etched with occult markings was revealed in the bowels of the Great Rock. By the closing of the year, it was shattered. Showing Himself to mortals for the first time in centuries, Babel emerged from beyond the seal and was immediately set upon by Eris. Draining Him of His essence, She cast Herself back through time to the emergence of the Unnamable Horror and stepped wholly beyond existence as we know it. Paradoxically, back in the present, Babel reclaimed His place as God of Chaos.

Babel wields the Flame-Bright Spear.

The Cult of Babel

Little is known about the mysterious cult that remains devoted to Babel, except perhaps the location of the temple within which they perform their sacred duty.

Dunn Lichlord was the inaugural adventurer to harness entropic dread as Oblivion's Avatar.

Mizik Corten was the first adventurer elevated to the status of Babel's Order Champion, bearing the mantle of High Sohtanate of the Inner Planes.

Divine Symbols

Babel makes claim to the sign of the Twin, the third eye, the iron crown, and the flaming spear.
