Titan

### We've Moved!

Thanks for visiting this humble Wiki! Sorry to redirect you right away, but I now have a full formal website that is up to date and growing. When I wrote most of this content here, I had barely dipped into Heavensward; now, I'm keenly aware of how inaccurate some of my takes might have been.

I will be porting, revising, and updating the information you can find here on the new site, so please visit The Memorist's Path and enjoy fresh, better-formatted content (now with citations!) about this wonderful game!

Thank you again!

## Titan, Lord of Crags

### Patronage

Kobolds

*Wrought from the rock that stands upon old,
With heart of black and a stare that's cold.
Cold are the hands that grasp at your soul,
'Fore the graves are dug and the death knells toll.

Tempered in the flows of the mountain's core,
Where the rage runs red twixt shore and shore.
Shorn from the world 'neath the blazing sun,
Bound to the dark, for the light I shun!*

--Selection from *Under the Weight*, a hymn to Titan

## Titan

**Titan** is the tribal deity of the kobolds, the tunnel-dwellers of Mount O'Ghomoro. He is known sometimes as "Lord of Crags".

## Early History

The kobolds hold that, when the world was young, it was a place of great strife and conflict. Determining that the world needed custodians, Titan shaped clay and soil into the first kobolds, breathing the breath of life into them. But they were unequal to the task, being new and frail, and no match for the hostile beasts that ranged the open lands.

Titan took pity on the kobolds. Rather than forcing them to stay on the surface world, He ignited O'Ghomoro, sending magma all through its inwards; tunnels remained as the magma receded, and also rich deposits of ore and refined stone.

These He gave to the kobolds, who, in reverence, took the metal and shaped into into weapons and armor. Now girt with steel, they could best and drive forth the savage beasts. Satisfied that now His children were safe, Titan sank into the caldera of the mountain, to rest, and promised the kobolds that when their need was most dire, the smoke of O'Ghomoro would herald His return.

## Depiction and Worship

The primal known as Titan illustrates how kobolds envision Him. It is clear that they believe their long arms and short legs were shaped in His image, but the rest is very distinct; it seems His body is composed of rock, shot through with veins of a yellow metal, perhaps gold. He stands upright, and is so musclebound as to seem more a wall than a person.

Kobolds believe that O'Ghomoro is sacred, a gift to them from their god. As such, they often regard their crafts of metalsmithing and mining as a sort of worship.

## The Primal

The primals that the kobolds have constructed in recent history have, curiously, exhibited two quite different personalities, establishing that primals are heavily dependent on the expectations and needs of their summoners.

The first, when the Warrior of Light confronted Titan in the Navel, demonstrated a deeply protective, nigh fatherly personality. Calling its summoners its "children", it stood between the kobolds and the Warrior of Light and fought to its last. Rather than bemoan its loss of power, the primal called out for them to flee, for it could no longer protect them.

The second, however, was the very embodiment of destructive rage, slaughtering enemies and kobolds alike.
