Cult of Three Eyes

Throughout the world, various small groups of people worship a deity known simply as the Three-Eyed One. No one really knows where the worship originated, but it is believed to have started somewhere in the Forellian Archipelago.

The legend of the Three-Eyed One is old and has many variations. The most consistent aspects of the legend are that he was once a great and powerful wizard, ruling over a city in Forelle. He managed to live well beyond the years of a normal person through his clever use of magic, but longevity was not enough – he sought greater power.

Through some means or another, the Three-Eyed One managed to enter the realm of the gods (which gods? It is unclear). There he found the God of Death, and planned to murder him to take his place. However, the wizard was not strong enough to kill the god, and was banished from the realm. Before he was banished, though, he managed to steal the god’s eye. Back in the mortal world, the wizard tapped into the power of this Eye of Death he had obtained, and it granted him powers well above what he was already capable of. He became, in essence, a new god of his own.

From here beliefs vary widely. Some believe that the Three-Eyed one still lives, masquerading as a person, his third eye always covered. Some believe he died and his spirit – a powerful one, at that – still resides in his castle. Some believe he created a new realm of his own, and rules the dead from there. Some believe he lives underground, tunneling to the center of the Ganoltir where he plans to destroy the world. There are a myriad of beliefs, all similar in nature but different in their specifics. The one unifying factor is that all of the Three-Eyed One’s followers belief that he is the single most powerful deity in existence, and that those who do not follow him will be destroyed mercilessly.
