Hizigori

**Hizigori Zokitai, Myth of the North** is a dragon and a deity that resides in the Haates Nebula.

## Description

Hizigori Zokitai is the Northern Myth, an astral dragon of pure life energy who originates from Ori. Although once sealed inside an egg by Tyre, he was freed by the *Shadow of Tyre* crew during their adventures in the labyrinth. Currently, he resides in the Haates Nebula of the Astral Sea where he keeps watch over the Northern border of creation. Hizigori has lived through multiple iterations and has considerable knowledge of the Violet, which he bestowed upon the first Translators.

## History

### Unsealing

Hizigori spent a long time sealed inside an egg in the Shadow wing of Tyre’s labyrinth, but he was finally unsealed during the *Shadow of Tyre* campaign by the demon yokai Raost Tredder. When the party told him of Toot’s curse from the Enemy, Hizigori used the power of the old Myths to destroy Toot and remake him, drawing the Violet out of his body and defeating it with power words. Hizigori then agreed to answer several of the party’s questions as long as Toot could bear it.

Hizigori explained that the Prism is constructed of the seven colors, each corresponding to one of the seven covenants that Lord Death made to Life, which form the laws of the world. He revealed that the Traitor’s blade is a songblade because the Traitor was once a guardian of the Lifestream. He also revealed that the shattered covenant, which corresponds to the Violet, was the Covenant of Mercy, broken because mercy was given for the Traitor’s sorrow.

Moe Kowbull asked him about the relationship between the Astral Traveler and the Enemy, to which Hizigori responded by prism shifting Toot’s eye from Violet to Red to allow him to see through the Astral Traveler’s eyes.

Hizigori then took a humanoid form and invited the party to summon him whenever the night was filled with stars. Before taking his place at the Northern Manifest in the Astral Sea, Hizigori gave the party final words of encouragement: “And remember, hope is not so easily extinguished.”

### Transformation of Toot

Toot summoned Hizigori to Camp Last Stand, requesting to be taken as a cleric into the dragon’s service. Hizigori admitted that he felt unworthy and warned the kenku that this power belonged to the stars rather than himself, and as such he did not know how it would manifest. Ultimately, Toot decided to go through with it, and Hizigori infused him with the power of the stars, accepting him into the Astral Legion with the titles: “Starwalker”, “Stormfeather”, and “Blade of Myth”.

### Cleansing of Azengolt

Hizigori was summoned by Toot’s faith to the planet Azengolt, where he clashed against the planet’s council of Depthar Overminds. Although their roughly equal strength would have resulted in a stalemate and doomed everyone else on the planet, the uncontested amber from Ives Brightburn’s amber arrow, shot to Azengolt during the events of the Indigo Trial, turned the tide in Hizigori’s favor. The clash of Hizigori’s pure life energy with the combined psionic wave of the Depthar flooded the planet’s leylines. As a result of this enormous surge of magic, Toot was granted one use of the Wish spell, the planet began to heal, and the entire Azengoltian portal network reactivated at once, teleporting the remaining population to Verum. The Overminds fled offworld through the Brass King’s connection to Seren Tredder.
