Great Betrayal

Loki

In the God Era, Loki became a minor God of Creation. One of his first acts of creation was the tragaran race. He created them in his image with the purpose of being his own personal army to battle the demons invading Bal-Kriav. This invasion came to be known as the Demon Spawn War. In this war, Loki's tragaran army was duped into thinking they were following their master's orders, yet at the time Loki was imprisoned at Barhaz Halarax. The person impersonating Loki, was "The Chameleon", better known in ancient lore as Rilthang. She turned Loki's army against Silvanus troops stationed at Caralda. The surprise attack by a former ally was a total surprise, resulting in the near total annihilation of a 7,000 strong fey army.

This act came to be known as the Great Betrayal. The reasons for choosing this name vary depending on who you are speaking with. The clergy of Loki will tell you that the tragarans betrayed Loki by unquestionably followed the orders of The Chameleon. On the other hand, one tragaran legends says that Loki betrayed them by abandoning them in the wilds of Gurutharni.

Another ancient legend says that Loki would redeem them for the Great Betrayal, but only if they defeated the demons of Varelay. The Varelay Upheaval made this goal impossible, since they had to choose between joining the ranks of Blibdoolpoolp or making it with nothing but what was on their backs in a land wracked with exploding volcanoes, changing water-levels, and demons running amok in their own civil war. Many pledged themselves to Blibdoolpoolp, and descended with their cities into the deeps of Dhark Bolg. The name Loki was forgotten by those that went into the darkness, pledging themselves to Blibdoolpoolp, they were slowly transformed into kuo-toans. Those that remained on the surface, remained tragarans.
