Obsidros, The Terra Guardian, Sentinel of Corruption, Ruiner of Stone and Soil
Elemental Affiliation
Primary Element
Earth
Corrupted Aspect
Decay and Subjugation of Earth, fueled by despair and infernal pacts.
Obsidros was a paragon of strength and steadfastness, a towering figure whose form symbolized resilience. Before its fall, it was a magnificent colossus of crystalline stone, adorned with veins of shimmering emerald and gold. Its presence exuded calm authority, embodying the nurturing aspects of the earth.
After succumbing to corruption, Obsidros became a shattered husk of its former self. Its crystalline body darkened into jagged obsidian, veined with glowing green corruption. Toxic mists and sickly energy seep from its fissures, polluting the air and ground wherever it treads. Its voice, once a steady rumble, now resonates as a hollow, sorrowful echo, laced with malevolent power.
Domain and Influence
Obsidros’s corrupted essence warped its dominion into a land of desolation. Fertile valleys and stable mountains were transformed into jagged wastelands riddled with cracks and lifeless stone. This barren expanse, known as the Shattered Depths, is a realm of choking gases and unstable terrain.
On the Material Plane, Obsidros’s influence manifests as persistent earthquakes and landslides. Fertile lands turning into barren, cracked earth. Spreading petrification that traps living beings in stone.
Realm - The Shattered Depths
The Shattered Depths is a desolate maze of jagged cliffs, bottomless chasms, and toxic fumes. This corrupted land drains the vitality of any who enter, leaving behind husks of stone. At the center lies the Cradle of Ruin, a vast chasm filled with glowing green veins that pulse with Obsidros’s corrupted energy. Here, the fallen guardian broods, its immense form partially entombed in stone, waiting for an opportunity to break free.
Obsidros is a tragic figure, driven by despair and a warped sense of purpose. It believed the only way to save others from suffering was to let the cosmos burn and rebuild it from the ashes. Obsidros embodies hopelessness, seeking to drag others into its pit of suffering. It despises the cosmic balance it once protected, seeing it as a source of its downfall. His ultimate goal was to unravel the fabric of creation, reducing it to barren stone, and rebuild a lifeless monument to its own sorrow.
Legends and History
The Fall
When Ignaraxis succumbed to corruption, Obsidros attempted to reason with its former comrade, hoping to restore unity within the Elemental Phalanx. Instead, it was overwhelmed by Ignaraxis’s infernal flames and left broken. In its desperation, Obsidros made a pact with fiendish entities, trading its integrity for the strength to endure.
Apotheosis Convergence
During the climactic battle, Obsidros fought alongside Ignaraxis against the Luminar Wardens and other loyal members of the Elemental Phalanx. Its corrupted might caused catastrophic destruction, but it was ultimately subdued and sealed in the Cradle of Ruin by celestial powers.
Obsidros commanded legions of corrupted constructs and elementals, their forms reflecting its shattered essence.
Stone Wraiths, fragments of animated stone that roam the Material Plane, spreading petrification. Chasm Behemoths, massive, lumbering creatures of jagged rock and toxic gas, used to crush and destabilize opposition. Crystal Blights, twisted crystalline constructs that drain the vitality of the land and its inhabitants.
Artifacts and Relics
Gauntlets of Ruin
Forged from shards of Obsidros’s fractured body, these gauntlets allow the wielder to summon localized earthquakes and petrify enemies. Overuse, however, causes the wearer’s limbs to turn to stone.
Heart of Obsidian
A pulsating crystal relic that radiates Obsidros’s corruption. It can drain life from entire regions, leaving behind barren wastelands. Legends say the heart is hidden in the deepest caverns of the Shattered Depths.
Current Status
Obsidros remains imprisoned in the Shattered Depths, bound by celestial seals. Despite its confinement, its influence seeps into nearby realms, destabilizing the earth and drawing cultists who seek to awaken their fallen master.
