Kyuss

Kyuss is a demigod and the creator of the larva mages.
==History==
Kyuss was born as a mortal in a city where evil walked freely and sacrifices of intelligent beings were made nightly to dark gods. The living and undead mingled freely here and the lines between life and death were blurred. Kyuss was the seventh of seven children and was brutalised by his siblings. Their nickname for him was 'The Worm', which Kyuss turned into a dark resolve. Gradually and subtly, he drove his family to self-destruction until all were dead. He then took on the disguise of a cleric of the Raven Queen. He rose through the hierarchy of the temple until he became a high priests who attracted followers from far and wide. When his congregation was bloated with followers, he performed a dark ritual that he claimed would bring his land power over the neighbouring nation. Instead, it slew everyone present and rotted the flesh from their bones. This killed Kyuss too, but when the maggots and insects came to feed on the rotting bodies, they came together into a writhing humanoid form. This was Kyuss' new form and how he achieved his apotheosis.
Kyuss now dwells in a deep corner of the Underdark, lounging on a throne made of the bones of those he has consumed. He is attended to by lesser larva creatures, who serve as warriors and assassins. It is said that Kyuss occasionally writes scrolls, which are distributed throughout the world by his followers. Whoever reads these is apparently infiltrated by psychic worms that bring the reader und Kyuss' influence. The Bonemaster's ultimate objective is the Age of Worms. This is a prophesised event in which he sends countless larva undead and creatures of shadow into the mortal world to consume it.
