Orglix, the Magician

Orglix in Karel

Imperial politicians and scholars have heard much of the myths of Orglix from the Aetherial Expanse. An occult fervor has gripped the upper echelons of Karelagne society as people make ever more sinister offerings to gain Orglix’s attention so that they may hear its whispers of their future.

Orglix in Ayris

The people of Ayris don’t believe in the tales of Orglix that have filtered into their world from the Expanse. If such a creature existed, all of commerce would collapse. The act of prediction—especially predicting the rise and fall of the market—is sacred to Ayrissians.

Orglix Among the Drakes

The hearty sailors of the Isle of Drakes disparage legends of Orglix and its omniscience. The pirate’s creed is that of freedom. If all of the past and all of the future were known, the pirate’s short, merry life would have no meaning, for what is the meaning of life if not to take fate into your own hands?

No god rules the actions of the kraken. The sea itself trembles and froths whenever Orglix moves, a storm of blood-red arms and aetherium fangs. Orglix lacks true godlike power—it still is shackled to a physical form, and it lacks the ability to reshape the world to its whims—but it is a mighty supernatural spirit nonetheless. Despite this limitation, Orglix possesses a power that even the gods envy: the power to experience all of time at once, and to touch its ephemeral currents. Orglix was born of a nightmare of the astral titans of Astrium in an age long past. The titans delved into magic beyond mortal comprehension to control the aether, raze civilizations in a day, and even divine the future. Orglix was fed by nightmares of magic gone wrong and grew to monstrous proportions over a thousand years of dream-eating until, one day, it became real. The titans captured it, imprisoned it, and experimented upon it until, one day, their civilization ended. Somewhere, Orglix knew this would happen. It experienced all things at all times, in one perfect, asynchronous, nonlinear moment. It knows all things that are, and all things that are not.

The exceedingly rare clerics who venerate Ogrlix wield the domains of Aether, Arcana, Death, and Knowledge.
