Born of a great magical implosion, alongside Tarin and the original
deities, Seluctruh understood from the beginning that only allied with
Tarin could he defeat the emptiness and survive. But with the void decimated
by the new world of Darkstone, Seluctruh began gathering his strength.
He watched Tarin's meteoric rise as master of Darkstone and realized
that he envied the great god's intense powers, and sought to covet them,
above all the power to create life from nothingness. He began his experimentations
to the south of the Shagrim Hills, underneath the Mountain Soleius plotting
the destruction of his fellow immortals, and all the while struggling
to obtain power as great as Tarin. He laid in wait for the right time
to strike.
As the Ancient Gods began to bicker among themselves, war broke out
across Darkstone. Tarin watched in horror as the world began to fall
apart at his fingertips. It was then, when a raiding war party raided
the temple of the Darkstone, and in their conquest over the priests,
upset the fragile balance of the Temple causing the Darkstone to shatter.
Upon seeing his greatest creation destroyed, Tarin in a fit of anger
put a curse upon all the immortal's heads, save two: Seluctruh, and
Ydnat the first mortal born god. Now, with the other gods no longer
protected by Tarin, and the Darkstone shattering, Seluctruh led his
followers against them, slaying every single one, leaving only himself,
Tarin and Ydnat alive to rule over the world.
The cracking of the Darkstone had one final bizarre affect. With each
fallen immortal, Seluctruh's strength grew, endowing him with the power
he had always longed for. After numerous experimentations, Seluctruh
devised the perfect species. His own children, the vampire and the shadow
stalkers. But he thrives off of death, and most children of Darkstone
fear his powers, as much as his vengeance. Constantly seeking more power,
he attracts the evilest members of every society. Those who worship
him love the night, and fear the sun, but are always without any ability
to create. Making them sterile, evil creatures fit only for the void,
and of no other purpose than to achieve greatness under Seluctruh's
dark cloak.
