Bellum - The Corruptor

For a moment, she remembered. Dappled sunlight dancing across her skin, plump blueberries bursting between her teeth, and the meadow's fragile melody drifting over her on the breeze. Then... it was gone. And only the inky black remained.

An oozing, draconic maw, the entity known as Bellum is an anomaly among both the followers of Prime and Fallen Ancients, in that it is loathed by all but the most depraved and mentally deranged mortals. Those debased enough to "follow" the Corruptor believe it is the Mortal Realm's destiny to slowly be corrupted wholly by the slime of Bellum and eventually become assimilated into its inky mass. Indeed, the highest honor a servant of Bellum could theoretically receive would be absorbtion into the form of Bellum itself.
Regarded presently as the Fallen Ancient of corruption, assimilation and oozes, there are many that believe Bellum was once the Ancient presiding over the aspects of purification and rebirth. Given how it is often depicted as a horrid bubbling mass of inky bile with slight draconic features, scholars have contended that Bellum's Prime form was that of a benevolent dragon similar to Joriel. Many theories suggest that Bellum onced shared the Realm of The Murk with Faust - The Deal Maker before The Cataclysm, and its fall is what lead the murk to have the form it does presently.
In 1007 3A, the adventuring party known as the Sanctioned discovered Bellum's crash site after the The Cataclysm; a massive network or ruins underneath the Harenae Desert. Wanting to save an ally that Bellum had consumed, the Sanctioned fought and defeated Bellum, severely weakening it for a time.
Some suppose that Bellum was the first Ancient to fall and rebel, but perhaps not of its own free will. The terrifying implication of this theory, however, is the question: Who corrupted the corruptor?
