Karglath

Karglath is the dark twin of her brother Av'arghad.

Karglath is an Íshnubar of Yishagoth, created by the Erraté Shog-Ammonoth, and rules over the aspects of navigation and tides. Karglath is a member of The Anointed, Shog-Ammonoth’s cadre of chosen gods, and is the sibling of Av’arghad, the pair once having been a single being before being torn apart by the actions of Uhrnothoon.

## Description

Karglath is the cold, meticulous dead husk that remained when the god Kargarghad was killed. Formed from Kargarghad's bones, Karglath was given power by Shog-Ammonoth and elevated into the ranks of the Anointed almost immediately following her violent birth. This left her confused and lost, adrift in within Yishagoth, and so she set about trying to find her way. Karglath charted and chronicled her own Domain of Wizhguhn, an act which in turn created an order to the Domain that was lacking within the home realms of the other Anointed. Through her actions, Karglath became the first navigator, and chose to gift her art to mortals, in hopes of bringing wider understanding and stability to the Realmsphere.

But Karglath's hopes where not to be, and the mortals of Terra Aletheia struggled to adopt her artform. When she saw that very few could become truly skilled navigators due to the complex nature of the Aurorarcana that guided them, Karglath became incensed. She began to covet the few navigators that had emerged, in order to steal their legend and study their experience, in hopes to better hone the craft of all other mortals. Now any navigator claimed by the seas is consigned to her Domain, bound to help others through their own folly.

## Origin

Karglath, along with Av'arghad, were once a singular being, a Primordial elf who lived in hopes of seeing the entire Realmsphere. A traveller, this being spent their entire life crafting a vessel that could sail the endless energy of the Outer Realms. Their efforts would soon prove to be fruitless however, as the coming of the War of the Gods diverted much of the individuals resources. With little time and no support, the elf decided to try the craft without first running test flights. The initial launch was successful, and the craft managed to breach the barrier between Terra Aletheia and the Inner Realms, but as it surged forward it began to fracture. Unable to handle the stressors that a loosening reality subjugated it to, the craft exploded, and the elf mortally wounded. As it's body drifted through the realms, it finally settled in Yishagoth.

Shog-Ammonoth took an interest in the pathetic corpse, and offered it power. With time fast running out, the elf accepted, and the Íshnubar Kargarghad was born. Kargarghad was the youngest of the Anointed, and used its power in ways the other had never dreamed of. Soon it began to display a mastery over the divine that eclipsed its siblings, and it was revealed that the explosion had fractured Kargarghad's soul. It's ascension to divinity had healed the damage done, but its soul had been changed as a result, and was now doubled in size and complexity. This had effectively given Kargarghad a twin soul, a quirk which afforded it more potential than any other Íshnubar.

Uhrnothoon, seeing the power Kargarghad possessed, desire to join the multi-souled union, and pushed her way into Kargarghad's realm. Caught off guard, Kargarghad could do nothing as Uhrnothoon forced herself upon it. Her attack proved disastrous however, and Kargarghad's body and Domain were split asunder by the concentration of energy. Kargarghad was dead, and its place rose Karglath and Av'arghad, its bones and flesh given sentience.
