Deity:Kala-o

Kala-o, The Primordial Shadow

Your sadness doesn’t please me. Your fear is respectable, though.

Kala-o

Kala-o, also known as Ereboseth or the Adversary, is the deity of Primordial Shadow. It is believed by most cultures that he is the root of all evil and the father of the Skia Veldrane, although it is also understood that Nalieth, the Primordial Light, trapped him within the Soulstar before recorded time.

Lore

Lore passed down through the generations claims that Kala-o is the brother of Nalieth. The myth explaining the origin of the universe concerns the two of them. It tells the story of how the energies of the universe collided and, from them, Kala-o and Nalieth were born. Nalieth enjoyed creating, while Kala-o enjoyed destroying. Eventually the game became tiring, prompting Nalieth to trick Kala-o into helping him create mortals. As Kala-o became angry over this trickery, Nalieth presented him with a gift, the Soulstar. Despite stating that the gift was to be a powerful weapon, it instead trapped Kala-within it. Afterwards, Nalieth buried it underground on the planet he had created, Zyrkthraan.

It is said that the presence of the Soulstar created Maleficence, and that it also created a well on the surface that would enable the Skia Veldrane to interact with the Mortalis, the mortal realm. It is understood by all mortals that Kala-o is trapped forever and will never return to destroy the universe.
