Tharizdun, the Chained Oblivion
It is darkness unending, less like a god and more like
another world. Life and death do not exist within Tharizdun,
only utter destruction and madness. Even the other
Betrayer Gods treat this mad god with caution. In its
endless imprisonment, Tharizdun dreams the infinite
depths of the Abyss into reality, along with all its demonic
legions. The Prime Deities had thought it locked
away during the Founding until it nearly returned to
ruin the world during the conflicts of the Calamity.
Now, its chaotic mind has fallen into more frightful
dreams, imagining nightmarish aberrations into existence
deep beneath Exandria. The Chained Oblivion's
demented cultists work without word from their twisted
patron, awaiting the Epoch of Ends, when its freedom
will be attained and all beings shall be consumed in
deathlessness unending.
Tharizdun is believed to be chained in the deepest
pits of the Abyss, bound by divine shackles that slowly
weaken, leaking its madness into the planes.
Depiction
Few visual attempts to depict Tharizdun exist, but the texts speak of a creature of rolling, hungry ink and darkness, a spreading cloud of lightless destruction born from a thousand ravenous mouths. Current references show the nightmare constrained by chains of gold and black, barely keeping the dark at bay.Enemies
The few remaining followers of Ioun are dedicated to ensuring that Tharizdun is never again unchained. Ioun led the charge against the all-consuming destroyer god's reemergence, and her bravery allowed the other Prime Deities to shackle their enemy, though the victory nearly cost her immortal life. Some say Ioun can only be fully restored if the Chained Oblivion is destroyed for good.Commandments of Tharizdun
• Offer and siphon power to Tharizdun until his liberation comes.• Uncover, restore, and exalt forgotten shrines and relics in his honor.
• Ruin and raze the realms to prepare for the Epoch of Ends.
