| History & Relationships: |
Before the Gods Fall Wars Ancalagon was known as
Aviar, deity of the Sky, Winds and Flying Creatures. He kept
himself distant and aloof from his fellow deities, and was not
well-liked.
During Gods Fall he remained largely in the background, assisting
those he favored, hindering those he didn't. But rarely becoming
directly involved. His non-involvement ended up becoming a boon as
he "stumbled upon" the aftermath of a battle involving some of the
draconic deities. The dragon-gods had won the battle but the price
they paid had been terrible. Only three of them had survived the
battle and they were soon to fade away. They beseeched Aviar to
subsume their remaining essences and take on the mantle of the God
of Dragons. At first Aviar was reluctant, but in time the dragon
deities arguments won him over.
After taking on the draconic mantle, he decided to change his name
to Ancalagon and take on new avatars that he believed were more
fitting for his new followers.
Ancalagon has few friends or enemies among the
other deities as his moods are as changeable as his shape.
He cares little what the rest of the pantheon does as long as it
has no negative affects on his worshippers.
His relations with Dyrge have become very tense in recent history
due to the increase in the number of draco-liches that have begun
to appear. A peaceable, though strained relationship exists
between Ancalagon and Jackandys
largely due to their differing views on how wealth should be
distributed.
Among his dragon worshippers Ancalagon often takes on one of three
distinct aspects; Bahamut - Good, Tiamat - Evil, Nargoth -
Neutral. |
