**Juno**, also known rarely as **Fomalhaut**, is a major antagonist in the Adamantine Island Ecroggor arc. He is a Great Old One and the embodiment of entropy, cosmic rot, and destructive change. He is also the embodiment of greater death, while a lesser death is commonly known as "The Grim Reaper" and deals with mortals and more common deaths, Juno deals with death on a cosmic scale and in a way that mortals can not comprehend. His true name was both unpronounceable by most mortal beings, but also took a length of time longer than the majority of mortal lifespans to say.

## Physical Appearance

### Juno

Juno appeared similar to many other Juno, albeit a massive one. He had rows of crooked teeth, and actually had a nose bridge on his face, however no nostrils were present. It was believed that he had taken this form because he tried to make himself appear as a being similar to the humanoids that dominated the world, but it unsurprisingly came out as twisted and malformed.

### Fomalhaut

Fomalhaut was a massive, star-sized, celestial body composed entirely of a viscous, black, tar-like substance. It was so dense and hot that the core of it would glow either a bright white, or an ominous crimson red. It was always surrounded by a disk of various kinds of debris. In the night sky, Fomalhaut appears as a small twinkling pinprick of either white or red, and if it were to appear red, it was seen by many to be a harbinger of great doom or disaster. Fomalhaut could be seen in the night sky of every world (assuming it had one), but unless it was red it was often indifferentiable from a typical star.

## Personality

Juno was sadistic, cruel, demented, and insane. He wanted nothing more than to destroy anything and everything that he could via entropy and corrupt all living creatures into Juno. He saw everything as purely temporary and did not care about the plights and woe of other creatures. His mind and thought processes were completely alien, and could only be defined by other beings as evil.

## Worshippers

Juno had few worshippers are few even knew of his existence. More knew of what he represented but not necessarily who he was. Those who did worship him would be "gifted" with Juno fever not long after they began to worship him.

## Activities

Before 1489 DR and pre-severance, Juno did little other than spread his entropic tar and corrupt those who drew too close. However, post-severance, Juno attempted to dominate and gain control over Ecroggor in order to spread his influence over as much of the island as he possibly could before it was destroyed.

## Abilities

Juno possessed many unworldly physical and magical abilities, the full extent of which is unknown. He also wielded many psionic abilities that he would use during combat. He had a constant aura of entropy around him in a 30 ft. area that would rot all matter in the area until it became Entropic Tar.

### Entropic Tar

Entropic Tar was a viscous, vantablack, tar-like substance. It was made of corrupted matter transformed into it's final possible state. It had the ability to break down and twist the forms of those it came in contact with, giving them Juno fever. Entropic tar was warm but not hot and absorbed much of the light that would be around it.

## Relationships

Juno had no known allies except for other Juno. While he had many that considered him and his spawn enemies, he considered them more to be obstacles rather than enemies; something to be obliterated and ridded of. He was the enemy of the drow of Nilreipia, the duergar of Clan Blightfist, and the mind flayer colony in Ecroggor. The mind flayers in particular hated Juno and were terrified of him because they knew what he represented.

## History

### -10,000 DR

After the creation of the Adamantine Island and Ecroggor, a black asteroid about 900 ft. in diameter struck Ecroggor. This immediately caught the attention of Miraria, who attempt to destroy it before it could hit the island. She managed to burn off about 1/3 of its size, reducing it to around 300 ft. in diameter. However, she was unable to fully stop it before it hit Ecroggor. The asteroid harbored incredibly potent destructive magic, which made the impact crater around 10 miles in diameter. The debris and ruin the impact brought had decimated Ecroggor, reducing the once great temperate rainforest to a ruined savannah. Garrow Dov'utar was able to save many of his people from death, but not all. Not long after this disaster, Garrow met his demise at the hands of Iggaroth, and the people of Ecroggor were forced to find refuge beneath Ecroggor.

In reality, Fomalhaut had managed to tether some of its essence to a passing asteroid, hoping that it would crash somewhere and allow itself to manifest. This manifestation would be known as Juno.

### 1489 DR

After The Severance occurred, Juno would suddenly become very active, attempting to take over Ecroggor alongside the mind flayers, the drow, and Clan Blightfist.
