[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 5587141, member: 57914"] Gygath, God of Dungeons Deep and Labyrinths Dark. Gygath was once a mortal Archmage of tremendous skill and power. During his long life Gygath and his band of heroic followers delved into many vast and ancient ruins and fought there way into dark labyrinths filled with powerful magics and lost peoples. It is believed that it was then that the foundations of his madness began. As time rolled on he grew more and more fascinated with the delves themselves and obsessed with there very architecture and hidden beauty.He drew comfort from the darkness and the deep and came to appreciate the work and even art found within the deadly mazes. He began to delve into them alone so that he could study as he willed and even started his own black delve. It was on one of these forays that he discovered The Iron Lich. A creature of such vast might and power that Gygath was over matched and forced to flee. Returning with his fellow adventurers again and again he was defeated. One by one all of his companions fell to spell or blade and eventually Gygath found himself alone in the deep dark and on the edge of utter ruin and defeat. It was on this edge of total destruction that Gygath made his discovery and ascended to Godhood.It is rumored that he stole the very ritual needed from the Iron Lich and that to this day that dark entity rails against the injustice of the deed. Whatever the case may be none may argue that Gygath became the God of Dungeons and Dark Depths and from that day forth has continually sought to turn the minds of the powerful towards the depths of dark delves and Dungeons. The number of such places in the world has exponentially increased and become far more deadly places. More and more adventurers fall to such places every year and many now speak of something new and sinister waiting in the darkness,watching. [/QUOTE]
