Personal history
The Froggod, a froghemoth of epic proportions, is a strange case. Purportedly capable of speech, the Froggod seems to be more than just a froghemoth. His stature, being double that of other froghemoths, and his unnaturally long lifespan, hint at some kind of magical power heightening everything from his physical might to intellect, though these rumours are unconfirmed. The Froggod hatched in Era 1, 943 but didn't make his appearance known until 1023 of the First Era. In this time, he had amassed a tribe of loyal bullywug warriors that revered him as a god. His first appearance to the rest of the world was when he attacked a band of roving travellers known as the Crimson Dragons. The bullywugs that he had brought along were swiftly slain and he himself was soundly beaten. However, the druid Driggag Vokalen opted to spare the creature as he could sense that it had attacked out of hunger and not malice.
After retreating back to the Pestilent Marshes, the Froggod, enraged by its defeat, went on a rampage and annihilated all competing male Froghemoths in the marsh. In doing so he gained a large following of the froglike humanoids who live in the swamp. After his rampage was concluded, he had a following in the thousands that consisted of grung, bullywugs, and werefrogs. The Froggod settled in a patch of deep water to rest and recover after its battles. Upon his awakening, he saw that the humanoids that followed him had set up the beginnings of a village around him. Content, he watched their progress and consumed the tribute brought before him. As time passed, he learned the languages spoken by the people around him, becoming fluent in bullywug, grung, and common.
As the village around him fortified and grew, it attracted a bullywug shaman of some renown amongst its people. The shaman, having come to see the Froggod for himself, reportedly conversed alone with the creature for some time before making his way to the village's center to proclaim it the "Spawn of Laogzed." This proclamation spread throughout the swamps and soon reached the troglodytes. Upon hearing that their god's spawn stalked their marshes, they traveled to it and swore fealty to the creature.
The Froggod keeps mostly to itself but speaks to guests of importance as well as its high priests. These high priests then spread word of the Froggod's messages to the people. As of now, the Froggod seems content to rule over its people and the west of the Pestilent Marshes, though the lizardfolk clans often get into minor skirmishes with its people.
