Apargoth

History
Apargoth's history, like many of the post Age of Heroes gods is clouded in mystery. His entry into the world occurred around 1080 BCE after the Bronze Age Collapse alongside other members of the Equinox Pantheon of gods. During the first War in Heaven (Equinox) Apargoth sided with the Dark Pantheon and was given the title 'Lord of Strife' due to his abilities to ravage a country to ashes with both his followers and powers.

After the Dark Pantheon's defeat, Apargoth separated himself from his former comrades and acted as a rogue entity, establishing his base at Gannacoth in what is now known as the Himalayas. During this time, he was engaged in a long conflict with the Order of the Jackal, an organisation of warriors lead by the Aereth survivor Enyo who had formed to destroy the Lord of Strife.

In 1905 the Order alongside British and Parthenon forces staged an attack on his fortress after he had killed Enyo in an attempt to kidnap Faepora, a traveller from Vigas. During this battle Apargoth was severely injured, and in order to prevent him from escaping out into the multiverse Agamemnon Direheart mantled him, combining their souls and bodies into one.

In 1917 another attempt was made by the Order and Parthenon with allies from the Spirit of the Mountains and the local Orcish tribe lead by Shadrak the Brutal to destroy Apargoth and free Agamemnon. The attack was a success and Agamemnon was able to free himself from the Lord of Strife. After a long battle, Apargoth was destroyed by Destan Braganza who channelled energy given to him by the Patron of Shadows and dragged the being down to Realm of Shadows.



Trivia
