## Chronicles

There are a few Chronicles of encounters with Azathoth, the recovered texts referencing the being in order of most recent history are summarized below

### Encounter by Evior, Solaria, Kaladin, Liang, and Tahlia

Notably in a mission to clear a house filled with aberrations, Kaladin and Evior succumbed to the insanity and had moments of rapture.

#### Excerpt from Kaladin of Quill

Sensation returns to me and I feel floating, my feet ungrounded and untethered. The encompassing void, my vision filled by the sight of a vast space – stars out beyond, and a many great objects of rock floating. I barely comprehend where I am when the door – did I mention a door? A gateway opens and a voice spoke to me.

#### Excerpt from Evior Ravencrest

[...] it sent me to another plane... I saw, something... no... Someone, A god of sorts who seemed to float about in space... He frightened me I- I feared my life upon the sight of him, I was ready to abandon my faith to trade for my life... that thing.... has more power than any God. As he laughed and called me coward, He sent me back my plane of existence and I bled out of all my holes.... eyes, ears, nose, mouth. Everywhere. Then these curse marks appeared on my arms and I felt fear....

### Encounter by Thulle, Faerwynd, Lars, and Corrumil

#### Excerpt from Thulle Theogrin

In the town of remembrance, bathe in darkness and seemingly devoid of life save for the usual children possessed by the old one called Azathoth [...]. Thulle has at this point thwarted two attempts for Azathoth to affect the material plane of Myrias and it seems like these missions find Thulle as if the fates have deemed it a pilgrimatory trial for Thulle to endure. The possessed children a small appetizer for more evil things to come [...] false visions assail them the former orphanage owner bathe himself in light in order to keep the rest of the party’s focus up and thoughts away from the wayward distractions of the shadows. Though the dark one’s lies prove hard to evade forever, Corrumil screamed as a horrific scene only she could see unfolded before her as she attempted to inspect clues in town, the same thing happened to Lars as he stood in silence for but a moment only to wake in a cold sweat checking his belongings to see if his hard work these past few years proved useless.

Thulle has seen these before, he was there when Lian created ...no....unleashed a dormant side of herself as a coping mechanism from the shady whispers. The party found where their quest giver’s note had been and Thulle attempts to reconnect with Lady Luminous herself, Selüne, with a divination ritual but even this was interrupted by Azathoth. [...] So when he found his spiritual embodiment being confronted by an unfathomable horror he did the only sane thing he could come up with, he challenged the being. *”If you had any balls you would come into our plane of existence yourself and attempt to take me from mine faith”* This seemed to amuse the old one and it put forth a challenge to Thulle and directed him to the source of the evil in town allowing the party to confront its minion without falling for the other mental traps that this dark one had prepared before hand.

### Encounter by Lars, Crowley, Sgt. Mifune, Alfrigg

#### Mission Note from Zieg Fellspoke

We have been receiving a lot of contracts from a lot of places that has been experiencing the symptoms of Azathoth's take overs. We simply do not have the manpower to provide to all these. Thus. Aerivandor researched into how to stop this phenomena, and found out about the mage who kept Azathoth in chains. He was doing research in a castle about 300 years ago, and we need to scavenge the location for anything that we can use to stop this planar being.

#### Excerpt from Alfrigg

We walked further into the castle to look for materials about Azathoth and stumbled into a small room or jail with multiple various creatures being tortured and children seemingly cannibalizing other children. Thinking of it still gives me the shivers.

### Encounter by Thulle, Lian and Alfhieour

#### Excerpt from Lian

[...] continue on their way, encountering horror after horror… ghostly children, shadowy tentacled monsters, then they find a summoning circle… and a being. A being that spoke to them, a being named Azathoth, a dark being… a powerful being.
