Bal-Sagoth is a Symphonic Black Metal band from great Brittain, and they're lyrics are pretty much the reason I bought the Immortals Handbook. They literally sing about battles between entities that normal DnD cannot even begin to justify with stats.
This is a project I've wanted to get started for a long time and I've finally gotten the spare time to jumpstart it. I'm going to attempt to stat up some of the more notorious personalities of the Bal-Sagoh mythos.
FOr those of you who've never heard of them (which is probably all of you) their setting is an amalgamation of Howard, Lovecraft, Tolkien, Moorcock, etc with original introductions, spanning an enitre life-age of the universe in its bredth. Literally, there's sci-fi, sword and sorcery, Elder Gods, Galactic Empires, Psionic Warlords, and everything in between, Just pure Epic.
I'll be summarizing the flavor for each entity so you can get a general idea of their backstory. This will be me paraphrasing the numerous songs in which they appear and adding my own interpretations of the stories.
I'll also add links to the lyrics for the songs in which they appear; keep in mind, some of these read more like 10-page short stories than any lyrics you've ever read.
