Sent to Magnamund
The dark God Naar was send to Magnamund to defeat Nyxator, whom his servants had tried to kill for two millennia.Building of Naaros
Agarash build a vast city called Naaros and, aided by his three magic runes and his claw of Naar, was able to conquer all of southern Magnamund in 6700 MS.Magical artifacts
Agarash the Damned he created ten relics before his death to encapsulate his power and ensure that it would haunt Magnamund. Seven crystals he fashioned from jet, which he called the Doomstones, but also three slabs he created from obsidian. These slabs were engraved with marks, or runes, to distinguish their origin. Long thought lost after Naaros’s destruction, the three runes resurfaced in the hands of Lord Vandyan of Eldenora. They were destroyed in Duadon during the Rune War.Vorka Rune
This rune was capable of summoning the Vorka, a breed of agarashi long thought extinct. Vorka are reptilian creatures with an odd grace. They were summoned in titanic numbers during the Rune War and were the driving force for Eldenora’s invasion of the Northern Magnamund. The Vorka were destroyed when the Rune was cleaved.Zorkaan Rune
This rune summoned to Magnamund the entity Zorkaan the Soultaker. A dark shadow that feeds off souls, Zorkaan was imprisoned on Magnamund following the destruction of the Rune.Vaag Rune
This rune summoned to Magnamund the Vaag, a flying race of agarashi capable of conquering the world. Unimpeded by any obstacle, the Vaag were destroyed when their rune was shattered in Duadon.
Skull of Agarash
The Skull of Agarash is a dark relic that fell into the hands of a Nadziran. It may have been discovered on Bukimi by accident, but Naar himself may have had a role in the discovery of Agarash’s skull. The powero of the skull was used to ensnare the pirate Khadro, and the ensuing events led to the kidnapping of Lord Rimoah at the port of Kadan in 5077. Lone Wolf destroyed the Skull at Bukimi in that same year.Claw of Naar
This evil wand of power was crafted by Naar himself, and used by Agarash the Damned during his conquest of Magnamund. Though believed to have been lost forever in the chasm of Naaros, it resurfaced when Autarch Sejanoz of Bhanar sent his Imperial Guard into the Doomlands. There, they excavated an unmarked burial mound near Naaros, and inside this mound was found the Claw of Naar. The Claw was to be delivered to Autarch Sejanoz. However, after a failed attempt to capture it at Sunderer Pass, the New Order master secured the Claw. Though it changed hands several times, the Kai warrior managed to keep it in his possession after a timely discovery of the Claw in Yua Tzhan. At Zuda, west of the Chai forts, Autarch Sejanoz personally attempted to wrest the Claw from the Kai warrior. A fire and a timely escape allowed the Sun Lord to escape to Chai aboard Sejanoz’s personal chariot and with the Claw. Following its capture, the Claw of Naar was destroyed by the Elder Magi. The Claw of Naar’s head resembles a petrified vulture’s foot, cast in a black metal that is flecked with shimmering scarlet specks. Its shaft is twisted, like the length of a gnarled root, and it is perforated along its length with pea-sized hollows. The wand is capable of discharging a blast of energy, and cannot be harmed by ordinary means.Defeat of Nyxator
He then travelled to the center of the planet, killed Nyxator and stole his Lorestones.Defeat
In desperation not to lose Magnamund to evil, Ishir and Kai sent the Elder Magi, a race of magical beings who were able to combat Agarash. In a war that lasted a thousand years, the Magi were finally able to kill Agarash and recapture the Lorestones, but not before Agarash was able to hide his Doomstones.Legacy
Agarash the Damned's legacy is vast; his instruments of evil have aided evils cause long after his defeat.References
