Zehir

Zehir, born Astir, was a member of the Funonzian Pantheon and the God of the Stars. He would abandon both of these posts, however, to create a new identity for himself as the God of Darkness. Zehir is the son of Pelor and Sehanine, both of whom were also in the Pantheon. He was the husband of Rotan, with whom he sired a son named Azan. During his self-imposed exile, he discovered the secrets of void magic and was horribly disfigured. Emboldened by his new strength, Zehir burrowed underground and created the tunnels and caves that would become the Underdark. He then pulled the human civilizations of the Northern Expanse into the Underdark and enslaved them. Many decades later, the humans would escape from the Underdark with the help of their leader Philip and the god Rotan, who had been unaware of Zehir's evil deeds. This exodus sparked the beginning of the Dragon War, which ended in Zehir's defeat and imprisonment in the Vault of Despair. Zehir's prison was moved to Mount Gast by Ihdalia after she imprisoned Rotan in the Vault of Despair. Zehir was released from his prison by the Ten Legends during their fight against Zehir's son Azir, under the condition that he mustn't ever return to Funonzi. In an alternate timeline, Zehir was the primary antagonist of Campaign Two.
