Chaotic Evil Arcana, Death, Knowledge Portfolio: Death, Evil, Magic, Madness, Rebirth Temples: Temples to Incancatus are built in the deepest darkness with a collection of teeth and eyes placed in a black bowl at the center of the shrine.
The first of Orizon’s gods, Incancatus created the structures of the flow of magic and through them, the foundations that the world of Orizon was built upon. His influence and orderly design were the beginnings of the great work of an entire world. The grand creations of Incancatus are the basis of the flow and therefore the basis of all Orizon’s magic. In the ancient world, Incancatus was directly involved with the mortals of the world, teaching them skills and marveling at their understanding of magic. Though he left as the age of wonders began to shift into the great war, he was fascinated at the heights that mortals had reached. And then the breaking shook everything, cracking his magnificent structures.
The wreckage of its work and the death of so many gods during the cataclysm of the breaking drove the great god to madness. It decided that it would complete the breaking, destroy the world, kill every mortal that stood upon it, and then rebuild. It planned to make a better world on top of the ashes, a restoration of its great works. The other surviving gods opposed its plan, so it decided to instead raise an army of fiends and lesser gods, promising them divine power in the new world. Incancatus led them into a war with the other surviving gods to shatter the pantheon and impose its will. This war ripped the plane to further shreds, causing untold destruction and concluded in devastating all hope there may have been of reclaiming the old world.
The last of the surviving old gods under the command of Soltis finally won. The victors sealing Incancatus into the pit at the very bottom of Orizon’s cosmology, along with the demons and devils that served it. Now the greatest of the old gods sits imprisoned in what is both its prison and its fortress. From within its prison, Incancatus rules with an iron fist, though it has little power without, except through unique circumstances and faithful. There are thin gaps in its prison, enough to keep it tight but still flexible and Incancatus can reach out small tendrils of power through those gaps. It manipulates its fiendish princes in the damned court and its faithful mortals in the material plane, all working to achieve its goal, freedom, then its final goal, the destruction of everything.
