As time went on his followers grew in numbers. so much that his chosen spot just wasn't suitable anymore. Instead of trying to move his followers and shrine to a new region of water he instead left matters to his most trusted servants and sealed himself within the shrine for precisely 1 year and 6 days. Upon that final day the seals that held the shrine closed burst open as a flood of water began gushing out. Emerging from his chamber the Lake God pronounced that he has opened the gateway to the eternal sea and that its waters will continue to flow into their land ensuring prosperity for their race. With the gate open the area began to completely fill up with water to the point where it even began overflowing from the crater and washing out to the plains around them. You see, the jungle did not exist at that time; The waters that flooded the land enriched the soil and began the process of evolution that would lead to the jungle."Tygot pauses for a moment to catch his breath before continuing with a small sight "The tale continues to say that the flooding waters ruined the cleverly orchestrated p;ams of a group of devils. The most common version of the legend says the devils would have been able to take control of at least half the land were it not for the flood.  In any case, the angry devils began searching for the source of all the water and after months of searching found the shrine to the god, which by this time was nearing completion as a temple. The devils retreated for the time to find a new lair and begin their plotting. It was close to a year before the devils made their move, backed by some rather powerful denizens of the hells, on the lake dwellers.Over the next month the devils layed siege in an unending battle. The lake creatures were peaceful in nature and the only thing that allowed them to live that long was their sheer numbers and the might of their god aided by the creatures he called from the eternal sea. In the end though the devils won out, the mightiest of them began tearing the head right off the lake god. With the last of his might he commanded the gateway to implode. Here is where there is much speculation on just what happened and how. What remains consistent with each version is that the demons were driven off and that only a few of the lake dwellers survived. The lake god's body has been turned to stone to preserve the flesh and should anyone reunite the pieces he will rise again to rule over his people once more.</blockquote>
