Kathool
Primordial and God of the Depths
Kathool is an ancient being whose curiosity about mortals is expressed through unsettling games, nightmares and an appetite for entertainment. Feeding on the Chronospan teacher Iadoa’s growing madness connects it to Chaos, but it expects to endure after Chaos fades. Its relationship with the Hero likewise makes conflict a source of continuing interest. When Neso tries to absorb its power, the Hero offers godhood and eternal entertainment as an adversary. Naming it ‘my God of the Depths’ binds its existence to theirs, a bargain Kathool accepts with a promise of nightmares.
Its apparent gifts can draw others into those games. It gives the discarded goldfish Elodea a human body and draws her toward its cult’s ceremony. Elodea suspects she was made a lure, and the Hero believes Kathool arranged the ordeal to provoke them. Kathool denies that it intended to destroy Lore.
