I like my discount poutine sometimes, it wasn't mean to be frou frou food to begin with, it's comfy -comfort food-, let it be comfy dammit) and we also have some nice pockets of scenery like some appalachian mountains and some historic residences, I've got three historic landmarks right in my town not even an hour's walk away from my house, on's like seven blocks away, even if a lot of it is NY's dumpster.

It's also worth noting that the last few "Gord the Rogue" books by Gary Gygax also deal with Tharizdun quite explicitly, and his version diverges quite significantly from the later WotC-derived lore.
@agemmemnon100
@agemmemnon100 3 жыл бұрын
According Gygax's Gord the Rogue Series; Tharizdun gets released into Greyhawk only to be tricked into an eternal struggle on another plane with Entropy itself by Gord which represented the end times of the Greyhawk setting, and Gord went to a sister plane of Oerth called Earth. The parallel planes of Oerth were Arth, Earth, Irth, Oerth, Urth, and sometimes Yrth. When I told my niece this she said, "That sounds so made up!" I said, "Well, yeah. All these things are made up from a certain point of view." Btw if you are curious about the series. Don't. Don't read them. Don't look for them. You'll thank me. If you must then at least start with Book 6' "Sea of Death", at which point the series not only becomes bearable but actually interesting. On a side note; Tharizdun is also the subject of one of the D&D Cartoon's from the 80's.

The Elder Elemental Eye made an appearance in the 1st Edition AD&D G3 Fire Giants module. It seemed that the Drow in the module were affiliated with the Eye, but by the time the adventure leads to D3 Vault of the Drow, Lolth is introduced as the Drow's patron. The Elder Elemental Eye angle was inexplicitly dropped.

Tharizdun is actually a key component of my home campaign. 4 out of the 6 players I have are noobs (sorcerer, wizard, monk, & fighter) and one of my players wrote an ambitious backstory where he 'absorbed' the Elder Elemental Eye. Normally, I would outlaw a backstory so OP, but I wasn't gonna throw away a chance to hit my players with the Chained Oblivion! The other two players (cleric & rogue) caught on quick and realized how deep the party was in trouble. It makes for some great tension & roleplay with the cleric acting as a advisor and the rest of the party (the bunch of chaotic fools they are) growing from trash gremlins into some legit heroes. Hope they can stop him :)

There may be some missing lore: in 4e, during the Essentials Revival attempt, they released “Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale”, which included creatures created by the Voidharrow through an Abyssal Plague. It was then used as a worlds-spanning event that impacted the core setting, Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun, and potentially others. It spawned six novels, a D&D Encounters campaign, and I believe two articles in Dragon Magazine from that time. I loved the abyssal plagues story line, and would love to see it formally reintroduced to 5e. I’m actually running a campaign involving the Voidharrow and the Abyssal Plague in my home brew setting.

So how do the Gord of Greyhawk books factor in to this? In those books Gord eventually frees Tharizdun so that he can destroy him, but fails and Oerth and Greyspace fall to the demons. In the process Gord is killed but is resurrected in another prime plane. Greyspace is sealed off with Tharizdun and the Lord of Entropy inside, with the intention that they will be destroyed when Greyspace collapses at the end of time.

Tharizdun is possibly one of my favorite D&D villains. I'm not sure of the sources, but I remember a version of Tharizdun who had more complex motivations and personality. His world view being that there should be a Separation between Gods and Mortals, creating the Astral Dreadnaughts as a way to keep Mortals out of the divine realms. He sees the universe of DnD as inherently flawed (due to the concept of Time and that things will eventually die), so he wants to get rid of the current universe and replace it with a new Everlasting one. TL:DR Tharizdun became a God of Decay and Destruction so he can create a new world that has no Decay and Destruction

i've been wondering. Haven't played much in a long while, but i like to keep up with the lore. Given the happenings "lately" in the Realms, are the writers setting up for a future Cosmic Upheaval (Edition change)? This is pieced together from several conversations over years, i'll try to keep it short but coherent. Shar is not just just Darkness and Shadow, she is Oblivion. She is the absence (end) of all things. She doesn't just want to rule everything, she wants to destroy (unmake) it all. She orchestrated the assassination of Mystra using power borrowed from Outsiders to prevent Mystra (and even Ao) from stopping it. Why? And how? Has Shar been listening to the whispers of Tharizdun for centuries? Being badgered until he started "making sense"? Or possibly, did she find the Shard in her delving of the Shadow, exploring where none others would even care to go, and getting instructions from Other whispers? Certainly i could go further, but that would take pages of space. After watching this video, it made me think of why a goddess would behave in a way to threaten the existence of her own sphere.

The first to capture the shard of evil was oboxob. After he was sundered, the title passed to mishka the wolf spider who was defeated. At which point demogorgon claimed the title.

im a fan of Cyric the Mad God, and this history mirrors the story of Cyric very much. Tharizdun and Cyric both exist in the Forgotten Realms, with similar histories, is this just an over sight by some of the writers? Did they plan on coping large elements of Tharizdun to make the Cyric story?

Tharizdun is also clearly the explanation for Pathfinder's own Destroyer God, Rovagug the Rough Beast.

Gonna put a few quotes from a certain game designer Discord I am part of here, because I feel it describes Tharizdun's essence very well "Tharizdun has more in common with cosmic horror, the corruptive aspects of evil, the death of virtue, and the slide of hope, joy, love, and wonder into a sort of sucking despair that can only be slaked by visiting your own ruin upon others" "Yeenoghu exists because it'd be weird if he didn't. "Senseless, purposeless, sustained violence" is a classic, undeniable CE idea Not having the all-time champion of it someplace would be a nagging gap Tharizdun exists for the same reason: he has to What goes up must come down All that is must eventually be not If divinity expresses human experience, Thari is the inescapable truth of entropy But he's also in a f****** box for that same reason All must end... But not today"

I believe Tharizdun is in the background of the second gord the rogue novel by Gary gygax, where Gord is looking for one of the 3 parts of an artiffact that could free Tharizdun.( I read the novel a while back, so please correct me if I am wrong)

Of course he ended up in the Forgotten Realms. Everything does. *sigh* Oh well, at least if Wizards continues to ignore the actual good campaign settings they own then they can't do any more damage to their lore, and it's not like Forgotten Realms can become any more of a mess.
