Geddon

"ALL SHALL REMEMBER!" - The Mad-King Geddon unleashes the Spellplague.

At a Glance


An tyrant and follower of Hextor, Geddon was responsible for the widespread disaster of the events of Geddon's Cataclysm. Owner of the relic Spellplague, Geddon would eventually be deposed by a union of Razorclaw and Longtooth Shifters who sent assassins to end his rule. This attempted murder and the destruction of Spellplague would directly result in the shattering of The Black Sea and crippling of The Shattered Coast.

History
Seeking to expand his empire in the name of his deity Hextor, the Mad-King Geddon brazenly tapped into the world's numerous Astral Planes to siphon energy into the creation of "Spellplague", a wand capable of incredible power. Stealing the raw energy of each realm, the wand was capable of incredible feats of creation and destruction.

The event that would come to be known as Geddon's Cataclysm would occur when, rivalling against Geddon's rule, an alliance of Shifters from the Razorclaw and Longtooth clans banded together to stop the Mad-King. Whereas the other more "civilized" races of the world (Eladrin, Drow) deemed Geddon's magical powers too potent to oppose, it was through the blind arrogance of the Shifters that a small contingent of feral shapeshifters invaded Geddon's citadel in The Black Sea and attempted to steal the weapon from Geddon's grasp.

During the attempted assasination, several Shifters were wiped from existence by Geddon's wild defense with Spellplague. While an impeccable sorcerer, Geddon's martial skills were no match for the Shifters who came bearing down on the warlord with sword and claw. Raising Spellplague to defend himself, Geddon's wand was shattered by a Shifter blade (the identity of which is still indispute) which result in a feedback rupture that would change the face of The Black Sea and The Shattered Coast.

Without a conduit to manage the siphoned energy, Spellplague was unable to route the energy from the Astral Plane coursing through it. The result was a catacylsmic magical explosion that sunk the coastline of The Black Sea and sent quakes through The Shattered Coast. On the opposite side of the sea, The Known Realm was battered by an enormous wave that eroded much of its shore. Added to these natural disasters, the destruction of Spellplague would have an enormous effect on the mortal plane with a long list of side-effects and consequences.
