## Description

Shog-Ammonoth is a being of all consuming hunger and domination. It feeds the rise of famous mortals, growing their legend and renown, only for them to pass into it's realm upon their death and serve as sustenance for the Deep One's own endless appetite for hunger and power. Yishagoth is a realm of endless sea, where the souls of the waylaid and unfortunate people who climbed to high are forced to float endlessly in isolation, kept apart from one another by Shog-Ammonoth's jailor krakens.

Shog-Ammonoth opposes Ax Mystia and his realm of Fire and Logic on the Realmsphere, and the two are hated rivals.

More than any other Erraté, Shog-Ammonoth is fueled by a limitless arrogance that it knows best, and only if all souls fell under its charge would the Realmsphere became a true utopia. It is this arrogance that has led to repeated attempts at breaking into Terra Aletheia itself, though all have been met with failure.

Shog-Ammonoth has the most Íshnubar, or minor gods, out of any Erraté, and uses them to great effect. There are countless cults and hidden orders that worship the Deep One, thinking that their own desires and wants will be granted should they further their deities cause.

## Vassal Gods - The Anointed

Like all Erraté, Shog-Ammonoth's realm is home to many Íshnubar who dwell within their own Lesser Domains. While differing Íshnubar cannot cross the borders of another's Lesser Domain, Shog-Ammonoth has complete control over all aspects of Yishagoth.

The Íshnubar of Shog-Ammonoth are:

* Av’arghad, God of Rumour & Currents

* Karglath, God of Navigation & Tides

* Kaxithglosh, God of Pride & Typhoons

* Tothnargar, God of Song & Rivers

* Uhrnothoon, God of Envy & Swamps

* Othgroxhod, God of Fame & Shipwrecks

* Ythgashnar, God of Myth & Sea Floor

## The Wolf and The Deep One

Thousands of years ago, the Anointed, Shog-Ammonoth's Íshnubar, gifted a chosen hero of great fame a series of gifts. These came to be known as The Treasures of The Sea King. The Sea King soon ruled all oceans and the entire coast of Veiltouria.

Unbeknownst to the Sea King, however, was that the gifts were cursed. Whoever wielded them would always be hunted by those seeking glory and could never rest, or the trappings of their own fame would claim them. Eventually, the Sea King grew tired of the constant battles and attempts at stealing his glory, and let death take him. The Sea Kings treasures were scattered.

For thousands of years, Pirates and Captains would seek the treasures to lay claim to the ocean, though none succeeded before the curse took their lives. During an attempt by The Cult of Shog to create a manifestation of their God, Shog sent an aspect of its power forth into Terra Aletheia. It was eventually cut down by a suffocati pirate known as Canis Absalom, who resisted the manifestations powers.

Dedicated to living life to its fullest extent, Canis sought glory and fame more than any other. He slowly grew in reputation until he was one of the most known figures in all of Veiltouria. Despite its best efforts, Shog-Ammonoth could not extinguish the suffocati's light. In defiance of Shog's will, Canis began to collect the Treasures of The Sea King. Wielding Shog-Ammonoth's own power to defy it, Canis has proven to be Shogs most coveted soul. The Deep One waits in the roil, for the inevitable day the Pirates quest for fame falters.
