• Fragmented Legends: Malgorath is described in ancient legends as a sentient singularity summoned by a cabal of serpentfolk wizards during the Age of Serpents. It is hinted to possess unfathomable power and a destructive nature. (DC 20)
• Summoning and Imprisonment: Malgorath was summoned by serpentfolk wizards who sought a weapon capable of threatening deities. The entity was too powerful to control and had to be imprisoned by dividing its essence into three parts: mind, body, and soul. (DC 25)
• Artifacts and Guardians: The three parts of Malgorath’s essence were trapped in powerful artifacts: the Psyche Orb (mind), the Corporeal Prism (body), and the Soul Shard (soul). These artifacts were hidden in different locations, each guarded by formidable protectors: powerful mind flayers, elemental guardians, and demonic sentinels, respectively. (DC 30)
