Kazgoroth
The Beast, the Ravager of the Moon Shaes
Kazgoroth has served many masters over the centuries, including Malar and Bhaal. The druids of the Ffolk contend that Kazgoroth is another primal spirit like the Earthmother. This spirit is bent on destruction and ruin. The Beast uses power given to it by gods such as Malar and Bhaal in return for pursuing their ends for a time. However, Kazgoroth only has one true purpose: the disruption of the Balance.Summary
Central to the worship of the Earthmother is the belief in the purity of the land. The antithesis of the goddess is corruption, destruction, and pollution of the land. The greatest menace to the Balance is Kazgoroth the Beast. The Beast seeks to destroy the Moon Shae Isles and in so doing kill the Earthmother. It takes particular pleasure in profaning places of sacred beauty. It delights in nothing more than the corruption of a druid to its terrible purposes. Like a horrible parasite, Kazgoroth draws power from the Earthmother and chooses a moonwell that has been polluted and desecrated as its resting place. The Beast is a shapeshifter, able to shrink its body down to a halfling or grow into a huge tyrannosaurus rex-like creature. Kazgoroth commands many terrible creatures with its might, including the Tribe of the Black Blood, undead warriors, or foul giants. The Beast has been struck down many times and has always returned.
