HIstory
Quellious Quellious has often had struggles with
Cazic-Thule, the god of fear. Legend states that the two
gods battled for an eternity over the dream realm, and when neither gained any ground, they each put forth a portion of their power, creating the twin deities of
Morell-Thule of
Terris-Thule. Morell being more like his mother, seeking peaceful
sleep for mortals, while Terris inherited her father's trait, seeking to instill fear in sleeping mortals through frightening nightmares.
There is only one recorded instance of Quellious losing her temper. A
cleric from
Freeport once brought his family across the Ocean of Tears to southwest Faydwer and built an estate on the edge of Dagnor's Cauldron. From here he sought to spread the word of Quellious throughout the continent. A
Dwarf from nearby Kaladim, Garanel Rucksif, had recently gone insane, murdering his own family, and escaped the city. He ran to the sea and discovered the cleric's estate. The mad Dwarf murdered the peaceful man and his family. This so enraged Quellious that she struck Garanel with a curse to spend eternity within the confines of the estate. An Erudite priest from Paineel heard of the tale and ventured across the world to witness it himself. The priest of
Cazic-Thule found the
ghost of Garanel and convinced him of a vile plan. The
Erudite exhumed the bodies of the dead family and dissected their bodies into hundreds of pieces. He then cast a powerful spell that called upon Cazic-Thule himself. It was so powerful that the Erudite died as a result. The devotion led Cazic-Thule to reanimate the decayed flesh into an army of
undead creatures including ghouls, festering hags, and other atrocities that haunt what was known during the
Age of Turmoil as Estate of Unrest.
