Krurymtir, Eidolon of What Can Be Coveted

Within the cavernous heart of the richest mountain lies the Collector of All. Like a golden dragon curled possessively around a gleaming hoard, he is the embodiment of desire and the very nature of greed. The gleam in his eyes matches that of the treasures he guards, an eternal testament to the relentless pursuit of the unobtainable. To him, the allure of gold is nothing compared to the thrill of the chase, the yearning for the yet unclaimed, the covetous whisper in the depths of every mortal soul. The echo of his laughter can be heard in every market square, every opulent throne room, and every desperate plea for riches. To those foolish enough to challenge his dominion, his retribution is swift and inescapable. But for those who understand the nature of want, who offer their prized possessions willingly to his ceaseless collection, he rewards with the thrill of the hunt and the intoxication of acquisition. Remember, all that glitters beneath the sun, in the deepest caves, or in the farthest corners of the world, catches the golden gaze of Krurymtir, the Eidolon of What Can Be Coveted.
Krurymtir, Eidolon of What Can Be Coveted. The Golden Dragon of Greed, Drythen of Gold and Collector of All, is a largely forgotten diety on Ysenn, only worshipped by merchants and artifactors.
