Agrothdoor

Stay away from the Agrothdoor! That place is evil, and you'll never know when a new Agroth will come through. And if you're the one that's closest when the gate opens, it will be you who get the honor of becoming the new Agroth's first host. Then it will be too late.

The Agrothdoor is a smoldering hole about three days west of Sakastro. The hole has a slight overlap with another plane of existence - the home plane of the Agroth. The borders between the planes shift slightly over time and sometimes the overlap will be larger, removing the wall between the planes. If something happens to be on the other side of the portal at that moment they can pass through - but only in one direction.

People in the Sakastro area know better than to get close to the Agrothdoor. Most people don't know why they should keep away, but there are tales of dark, mysterious powers infesting the general area around the hole.

History

The Agrothdoor hasn't been around for long as it suddenly appeared around 1990. Why it appeared is unknown, but some scholars have started suspecting it might have something to do with the same flux that created the Wasteland Beasts - some kind of strange accumulation of energies made by the presence of the Elders.

The Agroth

Ethereal parasitic beings that can possess the body of a humanoid. They live inside the humanoid, sharing the body while living off the host's negative emotions. The Agroth don't need much energy, so the host won't die from being fed upon - but the Agroth can easily become bored, and take control over the body and wreak havoc on the world.

Moglaz and Orgonis

Two of the most well-known Agroth currently loose on the continent of Shireon. Their hosts are unknown, but it is suspected that Orgonis changed hosts sometime between the years 2050 and 2070.
