Difference between revisions of "Tsol'teth"

The first stirrings of what would become the Second Black Wave are likely to have begun with the mysterious series of deaths and murders that culminated in the death of [[Thoth]], God of Death, at the hands of [[Slith]], and then afterwards to [[The Underworld Rebellion]]. So was hinted by Agith'tai, one of the Tsol'teth invaders, shortly before perishing at the hands of [[Tenith'oru]]-now [[Parni|Parni d'Sangre]]. Though the exact relationship, if any, between the now-Lord of the Underworld and the Tsol'teth is not well understood, it was revealed that the purpose of the latter in slaying Thoth was to harvest His essence so they could create a God of their own as an anchoring point for their race. Thus did the world witness the birth of [[Tlalaiad]], the Genesis.

As a last ditch gamble, the [[adventurers]] of the five city-states of [[Sapience]] rallied the help of Parni de Sangre and Yuddhisthira to erect a barrier against the rising Black tide. Raising magical stanchions and reinforcing them with [[barrier shards]] each year, the subterranean horde is held at bay only through the vigilance of [[Achaean|Achaeans]] everywhere.

In the year 798 AF a series of earthquakes rocked the continent of Sapience to its foundations. These earthquakes were the result of an unknown assailant assisting the Tsol'teth in weakening the barrier to the Underrealm. After Ama-maalier rose to be the first Avatar of Tlalaiad, she wielded enough power to destroy the barrier and let the tides of war infect Sapience once again. After their escape from the Underrealm the Tsol'teth imminently demanded a number of Adventurers and Guardians from five of the six city-states, all except Eleusis, to take samples to strengthen their lines.
