The Broken One - mlichtenstein/13thAgeSK GitHub Wiki
It slumbers in the depths, concealed by scale-like barnacles and swaying tubeworms the color of bone and marrow.
In a past Age it ruled the land, and peopled it with vatborn monstrosities, and was duly punished by the ascendant Dragon [archaic - refers to the first Emperor?]. Although ruined by its spittle, which wept into necrotic wounds from its prior campaign against Death, the Broken One would not die.
Certain druids - neither tempted by the Diabolist, nor trusting of the Elf Queen - locate its powers within themselves through alchemical experiment, invertebrate messenger, or other unpleasant means. Unlike sea druids, they cannot have the privilege of a direct audience [weird - it's asleep, after all].
