Though he hated the Order, his plans were much bigger than to merely swat at Bahamut’s forces with small armies of little consequence. The battles with the humans provided him with a distraction while he sought for his true goal – to find and release Tiamat.

 

To assist him in his efforts, he knew he would need powerful magic to break Tiamat free from the prison of the Esconil. He made his home on the planet of Kolnai’i – a place known for its inhabitants who practiced evil magics. It was to these loathsome beings that the essence of death first became known as Lord Grekh. Dominating many with his own dark powers, Lord Grekh began to gather a cult of followers – humans with skill and powers of dark arcane and necrotic magic. He told these new followers of the dragon Tiamat and of her incredible power, and deceived them into worshipping her as a goddess.

Because of Tiamat’s attack on the essence of life, there existed a strange connection between the two beings. Lord Grekh knew that the only way to free Tiamat would be to exploit this connection. And so, the rituals of the cult were ghastly, and often included violence, mutilation, and murderous sacrifice.
