Flashback to Campaign 2

In the yuan-ti (snek ppl) temple on Urukayxl, the Mighty Nein saw three murals:

  • one showing a gigantic sea serpent emerging from the water with many small eyes of amber and three large eyes
  • one of a worm-like creature with three eyes of ivory inside its mouth, plowing through the earth
  • and one depicting a giant purple bird with fire-like wings and three eyes of onyx

The three lesser idols have a pact: if one escapes, it will help the others.

Uk’otoa, The Great Leviathan


Uk’otoa is a creation of Zehir, the Cloaked Serpent, and lived in Lucidian Ocean south of Wildemount. When Zehir was sealed beyond the Divine Gate at the end of The Calamity, Uk’otoa was left masterless and without purpose. He claimed the domain of his master, the Lucidian Ocean, for himself.
Zehir, enraged, ordered a secret sect of his Marquesian worshipers to seal Uk’otoa in the seafloor of the Lucidian Ocean. With the help of a cult leader in the Allegiance of Allsight, Zehir’s worshipers defaced and corrupted a series of Uk’otoa’s temples with Zehir’s influence and used them to successfully imprison Uk’otoa with three seals.
Uk’otoa typically reaches out to sailors, particularly those shipwrecked.

Mighty Nein London

In Misuthar 837 PD, a storm giant follower of Uk’otoa named Thoonum and seven deep scions, including a mage, attacked the Nein Heroez and successfully retrieved the last Cloven Crystal to free Uk’otoa from his bonds. Uk’otoa sent Fjord a vision just prior to the attack, telling him “I found you.”
The scions were able to unleash Uk’otoa by breaking the seal in the final temple in the Cyrios End Forest. This awakened a statue of Zehir, who initially blamed the Mighty Nein for unleashing his creation, then tasked them with going after Uk’otoa and demanded a pact and Fjord obliged.
Uk’otoa created a massive storm in the southern Lucidian Ocean, near Brokenbank. The Mighty Nein chartered the Drensala Vis to take them there so they could fight Uk’otoa. They ultimately defeated Uk’otoa, and Fjord, using the runes put upon him by Zehir, re-sealed the leviathan. When he did so, Uk’otoa vanished, leaving three new Cloven Crystals, which Fjord collected and hid.

Quajath, The Undermaw


Quajath was either created or birthed by Torog, and acted as his scout during the battles of the Calamity. It was presumed dead when a sizable chunk of its body was left on the final battlefield, but a small piece was able to crawl to Eiselcross and burrow beneath the icy surface to rest and regrow. When Quajath attempted to rise again, it found itself trapped beneath the thick ice of Eiselcross, where it still remains as of 835 PD.

  • Quajath exerts telepathic control over those who eat of its perpetually regenerating flesh; the influence is stronger if the flesh is eaten sooner. Eating is not necessary, though: by mere proximity, a cryogenically preserved sample of Quajath’s tissue telepathically influences a clan of kobolds in Blightshore

Desirat, The Twilight Phoenix


Desirat was the companion and mount of Asmodeus during the wars of the Calamity. She was captured and imprisoned beneath Mount Mentiri by the original pre-Divergence Cerberus Assembly and remains there, contributing to the geothermal activity in the area.
In the 843 PD Apogee Solstice, the wards that bound Desirat to Mount Mentiri were dispelled. Desirat passed over Zadash, damaging several buildings before moving on.

The Julous Dominion

The Julous Dominion was established “numerous decades” after the Divergence, when the nomadic peoples who struggled for survival, battling hunger among barren, rocky lands of the Marrow Valley, defending themselves against wild beasts, and fighting with each other over fertile land. Among the chaos, small civilizations started to emerge, eventually united around the central township of Zadash. The town built in the center of the valley around 435 PD or about four hundred years before 835 PD, and ruled by the Julous family (by some accounts, a family of noble blood taking its roots before the Calamity).
The discovery of Herathis mine, a rich platinum mine within the Julous Dominion, further increased the appeal for empire’s expansion.
Religious uprisings swept the Dwendalian Empire but were swiftly scattered, and the rebellious priests executed by Emperor Manfried Dwendal in the event that would be called the Admonition. To distract the public’s outrage from this event, the emperor proclaimed the Julous Dominion an enemy of the empire, and later that year, declared a diversion war on the neighboring nation, called the Marrow War.
Baron Inock Julous and Baroness Tessandra Julous attempted to hold a peace negotiation, but were executed on Emperor Manfried’s order at the event. Their bodies were displayed publicly along with the narrative that they had attempted an assassination on the emperor during the peace talks. Left without both of their rulers, the Julous Dominion ceased to exist and was subsumed into the Dwendalian Empire.
How much you wanna bet that there were two surviving members of the Julous family named Cyrus and Brontë?
