Glhoon: God of Corruption and Decay
Description: An oceanic river of rancid sludge consisting of putrefying bile, decaying waste, and toxifying rubbish. Glhoon can possess piles of waste around the cosmos, creating his lesser avatar, a humanoid mass of the same foul liquid. Eyes and mouths constantly open and close along its slimy, viscous surface. Tufts of rubbish and refuse jut from its slimy, misshapen body only to deteriorate into mucky puddles of filth.
Lore: Glhoon was born from the oceans of filth and waste that poured out from Lu-Kthu during H’chtelegoth inception when it burst free from its undying host. The tides of filth created an entire new realm of existence that eventually spawned a sentience of its own, creating an avatar to shape and create landscapes and creatures to stalk the wastes of Xicotl. He is the very idea of rot, decay and corruption made manifest. The creator of all foul slurping, slinking, slithering abominations that stalk swamps, sewers, refuse piles and other areas of decay and corruption. Glhoon is the Overlord of Xicotl, a swampy plane interspersed with peat bogs, humid lagoons and fetid rivers of excrement and bile.

Byatis: God of Mold and Fungus
Description: A corpulent horned toad shaped into a vaguely humanoid form, Byatis’ body is riddled with scabs of fungus and dotted with spores of mold and mildew. A sickly, olive green mist enshrouds his massive body, though it cannot mask the heavy plods his webbed feet make as they waddle across the fungal groves of Haguel.
Lore: A byproduct of the toxic swamps that fester around Xicotl, Byatis emerged from a growing fungal forest that began overtaking the northern region of Xicotl which eventually was so warped that it transformed into a new plane of existence. While Byatis largely does not care for the affairs of mortals he will occasionally send groups of his Morgawr to acquire mortals, either for compost or for experiments to understand the depth of just what the spores he produces can do.

Kalma: Goddess of Putrescence and Rot
Description: A horrid combination of an obese lutin woman and a gigantic snail merged into one grotesque shape. Folds of decaying, yellow-grey flesh expel outwards from a grey-black spiralled shell, deformed arms jut from the mass some, spindly and long other truncated little stumps. Extending from the top of this mass of corpulence are a host of weaving, fleshy tendrils, each with a glistening orb affixed at the end.
Lore: Moryful was once Airmed’s top disciple in the arts of herbalism and botany. Glhoon grew wrathfully incensed with Airmed after she discovered the cures that defeated the 3 great plagues unleashed by Nergal. Ghloon captured Moryful in act of petty vengeance and locked her inside a vat of stewing corruption filled with residual run-off accumulated from his own person. The stewing pool of bile decayed, corrupted and transmogrified not only her body but her soul as well, turning the once beautiful lutin healer into a shambling obscenity that causes many to gag or go insane from simply witnessing.

A needle-like proboscis juts out from his insectile face below a pair of compound eyes that can operate independently of each other. He has six pairs of segmented legs and uses the front two as arms. Nergal’s inhuman body and segmented limbs, prevents him from using infernal armaments.
Lore: Responsible for creating all the plagues of the cosmos as well as the creatures that infect mortals with those diseases. He is the Herald of Glhoon and one of the daemons most often seen outside of Xicotl. Nergal infests the corporeal worlds with hosts of his creations, often disappearing before any Eidolons appear.

He resides in the city of Ersetu located in the central region of Xicotl.
