Myself and a bunch of other associates visited a lich by the name of Anei-Ra to do some research into the Gigas and a being known as the Oliphaunt of Jandelay at the request of a friendly Jotunborn by the name of Groth. I have compiled a summary of our findings here for public reference:
-Creation myths describe the earliest forms of mortal life created by Pharasma as the Titans, who forged the multiverse with quintessence. They eventually developed free will, and rebelled in an event known as the Titanomachy, which scholars make comparisons to being the first cataclysm as most of the titans were destroyed. The titans who survived were bound to the lower and upper planes, depending on if they supported the gods or not. The Gigas were formed from the bodies of the titans, purpose-built to carry divine might with no free will, but the gods still feared a theoretical Gigantomachy, so they were placed in an indefinite hibernation. The gigas created their own servitors, the giants, who were placed in their own planes. The inevitables and Axis Gigas were instrumental in stopping the titans' assault on Axis, and scholars suggest the Axis Gigas remain hidden underneath Axis until they're needed again. Cyrus is searching for a piece of an Axis Gigas.
-Jandelay is a realm within the Maelstrom, a remarkably stable paradise safe from the cataclysms. It's theorized that Jandelay is made of the same quintessence that makes up Axis. Monitors have confirmed that it is possible for a soul to be sent to Jandelay after being judged, but there are no recorded instances of this happening. The only way in through planar teleportation would be with a planar key, which Kali theorizes would need an object from Jandelay, or a piece of flesh from a creature of Jandelay. A mad wizard describes sightings of a creature they called a Watcher of Jandelay, a creature that collects fragments of doomed worlds, theorized to be similar to the Spawn of Yog-Sothoth that attacked the Upper Sacks a few years ago. It's theorized that if Jandelay is the most lawful location in the maelstrom, proteans would have as much of a hatred for it as they do Axis, and there has to be some sort of divinity keeping it safe. Could this be the Oliphaunt. It's unsure if the Oliphaunt exists or not, but it's said to be an avatar of destruction. Perhaps the watchers collect the pieces of the worlds the Oliphaunt is about to ruin?
-One of the first mortal souls to die after Rovagug's rampage was so filled with hate and rage it became the first daemon, known as the Oinodaemon or the Bound Prince. It created the first riders of the apocalypse, with only Charon standing to this day, as the others have been replaced many times, often due to infighting.
-The half-elf wizard Malrok experienced an assault on his tower by Aeons, including a Venator in a previous cycle. He performed research with Anei-Ra into the cataclysms and, quite notably, into the shards of divinity. I decide to ask Anei-Ra more about this, and we agree to do some experimentation on the shards we do have. This leads to me taking a quick trip to the Old Country to find the shard that we know nothing about, only to find a warzone that can potentially help us cleanse Gorum's shard of Trelmarixian's influence.
